I loved it. I used it a week ago Sunday and on Wednesday it didn't work at all. I've tried everything, I think it just died. I guess I'm luckier than some who have said theirs stopped working after 4 months. If you have suggestions on how to fix it, I would love to hear them. My Magic Bullet is at least 4-5 years old.

I have purchased 2 MB during the past 4 years and on Monday my second MB power base center wheel busted (again). Reluctant to purchase a 3rd $50 kit, I scoured the internet for a solution. This site was the best. Following the instructions from several posters, my husband and I successfully replaced the center wheel on BOTH of my power bases from the flat blades in each kit. A-MA-ZING!! I now have 2 working power bases after only an hour of unscrewing and re-screwing 8 screws and 2 wheels. Y'all Rock!! Thanks!! Fantastic!!

My second one just last night broke for the same reason the plastic ring tore and broke into to peices. When my first one broke I thought it was just a coincidence, but after the second one broke after a single week either Im doing someting wrong or the Bullet blender is not worth my Money! Hello,

I purchased them from several different stores.Wanted to make sure there wasn't a bad batch in certain stores. Cost me a ton of money. I'm NOT happy about that or this product! Every one leaks under the lid. All leak at the same area. This is a FAULTY product!! I'm tired of having to wash this lid between mixing my coffee. I also have to unplug it so that I can wipe out the mixer part base & let it dry. Because I don't want that to still be wet when I plug it back in. It will leak all the way through the base onto my counter. This cannot be safe for the Consumer! Please, respond to your Better Business Bureau on their website if you have problems with this product. I'm going too. If they receive many complaints, they will check this product out & notify this Company. I have bought 4 different MB over the past 2 years.
