Has had the same Magic Bullet since 2003; replaced blades and a spinner cheaply, uses it for syrups, dressings, purees and whipped cream, and calls it buy-it-for-life.

Has had their Magic Bullet for over 10 years, though unsure they are still made the same way.
Magic Bullet still going strong after about 15 years; needed one replacement part for around $10-15 and one cracked cup out of six.
Loves their Magic Bullet, owned since the late-night TV promo, the first blender bought in about 30 years; only replaced the blades a couple of times. Also has a NutriBullet for large protein smoothies.
Has used a Magic Bullet for smoothies for about 7 years and it still works great; the right size for one smoothie and also handles soups.
Uses it for salad dressing, sauces, marinades, dips and breadcrumbs; it lasts long and takes abuse, with only the blade part replaced with generics.
Opposite experience: about 8 years old, used 2-3 times a month, survived college and still works great as long as you don't grind giant pieces of ice; one of their better buy-it-for-life purchases.
Their Magic Bullet survived eight years of daily use with one $2 five-minute repair for worn rubber gears.
Has had one for years, used hard on party nights to blend drinks and on other days for omelets.

What does the signal score of 51 mean?
It's how well reviewed Magic Bullet is, out of 100, next to the other blenders here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed appliance (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a appliance few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
