Magic Bullet 7921 Platinum Pro 20-Piece Set, Stainless Steel Review

(More customer reviews)"P R O S" OF THE PLATINUM PRO:
This machine is a bit bigger than the regular Magic Bullet -- but it will
still fit onto even the smallest counter-top very nicely. The "Party Mug" containers are indeed larger, (20 oounces) than those in the regular Magic Bullet Party Mugs (16 ounces)...and actually hold as much as the "large container" of the regular Magic Bullet). The "large container" of the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro holds a whopping 26 ounces!
(The "small container" of the "Platinum Pro" holds 16 ounces, the "small container" of the regular Magic Bullet holds 10 ounces.) All the containers included with the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro have wider "mouths" than those of the regular Magic Bullet, and this makes it easier to pour food in without it being lost on the counter. The wider width also makes the containers easier to hand-wash if you want to hand-wash.....although all containers in the Platinum Pro, (as in the regular Magic Bullet) are machine washable too.
(One trick I have learnt from watching commercials for other, far more expenisve blenders: ANY blender container can easily be washed by simply wiping it out, putting in a few drops of dishwashing detergent and some water, and then letting the machine spin the container clean!)
This machine is POWERFUL! Those extra 100 watts really do help! When I wtried to make tuna salad in my regular Magic Bullet, the mixture stuck. When I used the same receipe in the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro, I got a professional looking, semi-smooth pate!
"C O N S" of the Platinum Pro:
My major complaint about the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro is that the "mouths" of the containers are actually a bit TOO wide! At almost 3 1/2 inches in diameter, they would be difficult for someone with arthritis or other physical impairment to screw and unscrew tightlyl (And if you don't screw the container on tightly, leaks will someties occur.) True, the larger diameter does make it easier to pour ingredients in....but I do think it's more important for EVERYONE to be able to screw and unscrew the lids on easily!
So, I use only the "Party Mugs", which have handles, and so make screwing and unscrewing easier. I don't dare use the "large cup" or "small cup" for the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro, as these containers do NOT have handles, and would probably be impossible, (or nearly so), for me to screw and unscrew. Of course, a screw-unscrewing aid would be useful....and/or handles on the large and small containers in, hopefully, the next edition of the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro.
I have not used the blender attachment yet....but, as it has a handle, I expect no trouble with it. I do get to wondering, however, why the "Magic Bullet Platinum Pro" DOESN'T have a "Juicer" attachment, as does the regular Magic Bullet. My own regular Magic Bullet blender broke before I could use the juicer attachment, (more on why this happened, below)....and my sister, who had a regular Magic Bullet before I bought one, says she had no luck with the juicer attachment. Still, it would be very nice if the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro came with a juicer attachment. (I still have the blender / juicer attachment for the regular Magic Bullet....and when I'm able to buy a base for it, will try it out...)
My regular Magic Bullet base broke. This happened unexpectedly, when the integrated center section, (that attaches to the blade assemblies), suddenly shattered into four pieces! Astonished and saddened, I wondered why this had happened.....and after some thought, discovered the reason.
IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN USING A L L 'PERSONAL BLENDERS' THAT THE USER
W A I T.. FOR A FEW MOMENTS, AFTER THE BLENDER HAS STOPPED WORKING, TO REMOVE THE CONTAINER. That way, the "spinning" of the integrated center section (which attaches to the blade assemblies) stops spinning....and the two sections can easily be separated. Otherwise, the four parts of the integrated central section are "pushed apart" ever so slightly, every time one removes the container.....until the fly off altogether.
Also, this blender -- although having 100 watts more power -- (and more than adequate...as was the original Magic Bullet blender....to make smoothies, milkshakes, etc.) -- still will not whip milk, (even whole milk) into whipped topping, still is not powerful enough to whip potatoes, and -- in the instruction booklet -- still are listed the "tapping" and "shaking" techniques for getting stuck food out. (The "liquifying" technique I have devised -- which is also listed in my review of "The Magic Bullet"....that of adding either water, milk, juice, or another liquid compatible with the mixture, to thin it out so that the machine can handle it without getting food stuck -- works just a well for the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro, too.) But I was extremely disapointed to find that these "techniques" are still necessary. (They aren't with the larger, conventional blenders and food processers.) Though small, and handy, and replete with many containers, the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro still has "only" 350 watts....and not the 500 watts found on many full-size blenders. Still, the containers are far easier to clean than the huge, 48 or more ounce glass containers found on "full-size" machines. And you get 6 of them -- 4 handled party-mugs and two handle-less "bullet containers", with any Magic Bullet, rather than the one conainer given with most larger machines. So this is a trade-off...
So, my suggestion for any future "Magic Bullet Platininum Pro II" machine would be narrower circumferences on the containers, (and/or handles on the two "bullet cups"), and -- in the words of the TV Show "Home Improvement".....MORE POWER, (Please!) But I sure like having 4 containers (with handles!) given with the machine!
The receipe book given with the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro is full of
scrumptious ideas, and the paper is slick and luxurious. I do wish, however, that there were pictures of each recipie....the only photos are those on the cover, and I have yet to discover, (even with the extensive Table of Contents), which recipie is for the tempting round fish-cake looking treats, shown on the front cover of the receipe booklet.
So....although this machine is more powerful than the original Magic Bullet, there is still much room for improvement. I hope that the next edition of the Magic Bullet Platinum Pro will include the suggestions I have stated here.
Bon Appetite!
P. S.The Magic Bullet Platinum Pro is supposed to come with its own
website, www.MagicBulletPlatinumPro.com. But when I looked for it, I didn't find it. Perhaps the machine is too new for the website to be up yet....but I sure am looking forward to going there!
