I'm going to buy this tomorrow. It's a Cooks Power Blender with attachments @JcPenny's! It's half the price of the Majic Bullet. I look forward to using this when I'm at home! Go check it out at the Penny's website.

Wow!!! That's really nifty! Let us know how it works-- I've wanted a Magic Bullet for a while, but I've heard that if you put anything "too substantial" in there, they break... And I have a JC Penney Gift Card from the Holidays that I need to use-- and this would be perfect!
So I'd love a rundown to see if this is something I should buy!!

I got this idea from another MF chat board and a lady on that site said she loves it. I can't wait to get it tomorrow!

Thanks for that! I am going to be picking up one of these too!

I'm going to buy mine today! I'll let you all know how I like it.

Okay so I purchased it at JCPenny's today. The price at the store was $59.95, but on the website it said available in stores. The cashier said I couldn't get the website price ($39.95) b/c it was not including shipping. I told her there was no note she basically could care less. I asked to speak to a manager and he honored the website price!!!!!! YiPPiE! So I had a shake this evening and it was wonderful. I put crushed ice cubes and my 8 ounces of water added the packet and it was such a wonderful smoothie! I'm glad I purchased it!

NICE! Good deal making with the manager

Cool! Well, I think I will head down to JCPenney this weekend and see about finding one! It's good to know it can handle ice cubes! Do they have to be pre-crushed?

Yes they should be pre-crushed. Oh and things about this is it's super loud! LOL Hubby came home from work yesterday and he said man that thing is loud in the mornings! OPpppS!

lol eep! Hmmm... That's always my issue with "food processors"--They're all SUPER loud! My live-in boyfriend works nights and I work days.. :P so I have to find a lot of innovative ways to be quiet so he can sleep

Can you microwave the cups (like the magic bullet?)

Good question I will have to check that out.

I also recommend the Bella Cucina which is like a Magic Bullet but much cheaper. I got it on sale at Macy's for $25 and I've taken it on business trips in my suitcase and to meetings or people's houses. It comes with many cups so I don't have to keep washing one container.

I got a Hamilton Beach personal blender last night. Wal-Mart and Target both have it and it was only $16. I made up a shake last night with some ice and it worked really well! The only downfall is that it has one mixer/cup with it but it is easy to rinse out. Anyway, thought I would let you all know about this one too for another option to look at.

Cool! Thanks!
Is there a way to get extra cups?

It does not say anything about getting extra cups anywhere. I am sure glad I bought it though. I used it for 3 of my meals yesterday!
