Recently bought the Magic Bullet for 24-hour paramedic shifts; small but not too small, easy to clean, not heavy, and comes with extra cups and lids.

Recently bought a Magic Bullet blender for smoothies and sauces and loves it as a kitchen essential.
Uses it for smoothies, hummus, marinades, sauces, dips and batters, and for margaritas, though whole ice cubes don't always work.
Makes great guacamole and is awesome for smoothies, but is really hard to use for chopping onion or garlic into uniform pieces.
Uses it exclusively because of little counter space; not as good as a blender but fine for most basic things.
Uses it all the time and has had it forever: minces hot peppers and garlic for chili, makes avocado spicy mayo, whipped cream, purees and protein shakes.
Got one last week and has had a smoothie every day for breakfast; calls it insanely easy.
Bought it for smoothies, but now mostly uses it for mayonnaise-based spreads and dipping sauces.
Actually good for grinding spices and making smoothies, but not for chopping vegetables.
