Magic Bullet Dessert Blender - Powerful Mini Blender for Smoothies, Ice Cream & Desserts - Perfect for Home Kitchen, Office & Healthy Snacks

This is what I've been looking for.... so good to pop some fruit into the hopper & have a great frozen treat!My son has lots of allergies including dairy and eggs, so he never tried icecream or yogurt. I need to spend a lot of time to make my own version of icecream with an icecream machine, it takes a lot of time and energy but it worth it.Recently my friend bought a Yonana from Costco and made some dairy/egg free fruit icecream and my son loves it. I search online and found the Yonana and this one. I am not sure which one is better so I ordered this one from Amazon and borrowed my friend's Yonana to compare.Basically they both produce similar icecream but I like this one better, the reasons are:1. A lot quieter, comparing with Yonana. When using the Yonana, I can't hear any conversations.2. Has more power. This one has 350W and Yonana is only 200W. The texture of this one is smoother.3. Very easy to clean and won't take more than a minute to clean everything! The Yonana has some metal teeth which is quite hard to clean and I always afraid that it will cut my fingers so I have to use a brush. The Magic Bullet however has no metal parts or teeth, which I can simply wash it under running water with my hands. I don't even need any detergent.4. It comes with star and oval shape spout (Yonana only has the oval shape). I used the star shape a lot and kids love it.5. The pusher tube has the groove which ensure it fit into the barrel perfectly. The pusher of the Yonana can rotate freely and I always have to spend a lot of time to keep trying to rotate it to the right place to make sure it pushes the fruit deep down.6. It comes with a big funnel on top to prevent fruit from dropping out of the barrel. For some reason it is not shown on the picture.The only thing I like the Yonana is it comes with a very fancy recipe book and has a lots of ideas. In contrast the Magic Bullet only has some basic recipes. But I still give it a 5 star as I really enjoy using it. I use it almost every day. You can come up with your own idea very quick. Make sure you cut your friut into a small trunks before put them into the freezer, it will allow you to mix different fruit evenly for a even, distributed taste.I will recommend this my friends.It's tricky.First remark: don't expect a result that tastes or looks like any of the ice creams or sorbets you usually buy.It's a problem of texture.If you use frozen fruits like strawberries, or mangos or any mixture of berries, then you have to slightly unfreeze them before inserting in the blender. The key is: how unfrozen should they be ? Too hard, the fruits will be difficult to blend. Too soft, they will turn into a "frozen drink" rather than sorbet.Don't expect to correct the texture by freezing again the result: this will produce a "frozen sorbet", meaning ice-cube hard sorbet, very difficult to eat.Apparently, adding bananas will fix the texture problem - but I have not tried this solution. Now bananas have a strong flavor that kills the other ingredients' flavor... so it's a compromise between texture and flavor.On the bright side, you get a result that is guilt-free: no added sugar, no texture agents and other things they add in ice cream- and don't tell you about. This means you will rediscover the real flavor of fruits. And the pleasure of sorbet.Love this machine. I used to use a good processor or my vitamix to make ice cream. Both are fantastic methods. But in terms of ease of use for myself and for my kids, this machine is much more of an approachable appliance. I also believe that you eat with your eyes. I prefer the presentation this machine does to create ice cream as opposed to what you might get with yonanas or any of the other competitors. It's pretty easy to clean. And assemble. If fruit is too frozen going through it comes out looking not as creamy. However I just run it through a second time and it's fine. This machine is around 60 dollars. Amazon seems to be higher than other places I've seen. But because this machine is relatively low cost and easy to afford. Creates great results, I would completely recommend this machine.Me encanta, los materiales son de buena calidad, es muy fácil de usar, también la limpieza es relativamente fácil, sólo cuando se usa cacao en polvo es un poco más difícil de limpiar. Los helados tiene muy buen aspecto y quedan deliciosos. Cuando la adquirí estaba en oferta aquí en Amazon, es original y me llegó en excelentes condiciones.El producto funciona muy bien. Hace helado a partir de frutas congeladas. Básicamente ocupas plátanos congelados en lugar de crema de leche lo que lo hace mucho más sano y económico. Viene con un recetario y puedes encontrar más ideas de recetas en Pinterest etc.Muy facil solo meter fruta congelada y mágicamente sale helado....Ya es cuestión de le agregues cosas a tu gusto, la verdad esta de 10.It's fantastic!! The texture of the yogurt, fruit, added things like chocolate chips after they all go thru the Bullet is just like ice cream. As a Weight Watcher I will use it until I wear it out ?. I can't figure out why Canadian stores no longer stock it.
