Is the Magic Bullet good for crushing ice?

Only in small amounts. The 250-watt motor and cross blade handle a few cubes with liquid, but owners report it struggles with full cups of ice or frozen fruit.

What comes in the box?

The 250-watt power base, one cross blade, a tall 20 oz cup, a short 12 oz cup, a party mug, two solid lids, one flip-top lid, two comfort lip rings and a recipe book.

There are no buttons. You place a cup on the base and press down to run the single speed; release to stop.

Are the cups and blade dishwasher safe?

Yes. The stainless steel cross blade, cups and lids are dishwasher safe.

How does it compare with a full-size blender?

It is smaller and better for one serving, but it has less power and capacity than a full-size blender and only one speed.

It is a budget blender that often drops in price around Black Friday and back-to-school sales.
