Manufacturers of kitchen appliances strive to give their products wide functionality and performance. Since in the culinary business, many operations complement each other and intersect during the cooking process, the availability of universal devices becomes a good help for housewives. As practice shows, multifunctionality does not always benefit various devices, since they lose in the reliability of specialized equipment. The creators of the Magic Bullet decided to show a reverse example. Magic Bullet is a kind of hybrid of several types of kitchen appliances, making it possible to simplify the cooking process. Functionality can be called the main advantage of the model, but a wide range of operations subject to it does not limit the list of pluses. Of course, there are also disadvantages that can be found on the example of reviews. It’s worth starting with basic information about the device.
Harvester Overview
The design of the device is designed to perform 6 basic kitchen operations, including grinding, slicing, mixing and others. We can say that the blender, mixer and juicer are those devices whose functionality is reproduced by Magic Bullet. Magic Bullet is a combine harvester that allows solving auxiliary tasks. For example, its configuration provides for many niches and containers for short-term storage of products.
That is, the device not only allows you to prepare vegetables, fruits, etc. for the further culinary process, but also provides their convenient content. For example, if you want to prepare the ingredients for pizza, it will be enough to make the basis of the dough, then grind the products and add them to the dish without delay. The bowls from the kit can be used not only in direct work with the food processor, but also as an independent kitchen utensil - the appliances are made of high-quality material, have thoughtful ergonomics and a nice design.
Device Specifications
The model is designed as a multifunctional device, which complicates the comparison with alternative options on the market. Nevertheless, “Magic Bullet” can be considered as a full-fledged combine harvester with the following characteristics:
- Dimensions - 27 cm in length, 33 cm in height and 26 cm in width.
- Weight - 3.57 kg.
- Network voltage requirements - 240 watts.
- Grounding protection category - 2.
- Blender option - provided.
- The possibility of processing solid products is provided.
- The power potential is 200 watts.
- Manufacturer - China.
As you can see, with high functionality and good power, the combine has compact dimensions. It is worth noting the organization of accessories. Nozzles, bowls and other additions of “Magic Bullet” are practical, versatile and can be involved in creating a variety of dishes.
Equipment
The model has a fairly rich configuration, which in a positive way differs from standard kitchen appliances. So, the basis is a base equipped with rotational elements. On it you can use bowls (high or low), a pump for squeezing, mugs for drinks in the amount of four pieces, etc. The list of working elements includes cutting blades - the model comes with cross and straight knives. It is worth noting the shaker-double boiler with a lid that completes the top of the Magic Bullet. A blender is also supplied complete with a convenient cover. As for nozzles, there are only two of them. But this is enough for the full use of the device. In particular, nozzles for a shaker and a double boiler are offered. As already noted, the manufacturer responsibly approached the ergonomics of the device, providing for many accessories and auxiliary elements of the combine. The same bowls can be used both for mixing culinary ingredients and for cooking in the microwave.
What dishes can I cook?
A cookbook with recipes is also supplied with the equipment. In general, the functionality of the device is not only enough to perform special operations with products that are part of the overall cooking process. There are recipes "Magic Bullet", designed for full cooking in this processor without connecting third-party equipment. The classic recipe is making salsa for a party. The mixture will require small onions, cherry tomatoes, as well as pepper and garlic. All ingredients are crushed into small pieces. In the process, a foam is formed from tomatoes, which will add spice to the dish. Especially for the harvester you can offer various recipes for mashed vegetables with spices and gravy. By the way, in a blender you can cook all kinds of sauces for other dishes.
Terms of Use
Although a large number of component parts of the device may give the impression of a unit difficult to use, in reality this is not so. The main task of the user is to choose the right mode of operation, correlating culinary requirements with the nature of the processing of the product. Next, put the ingredients in a bowl, which then set on the base. For convenience of fixing, the Food Bullet food processor is equipped with special marks, with which you can determine the accuracy of the position of the containers. When the bowl is fixed, you can begin the workflow. The device can work in manual or automatic mode. In the first case, it is enough to put pressure on the bowl to start the motor - its function will be performed until the pressure ceases. In automatic mode, you should also install the bowl, and then turn it to start the motor. The harvester will perform the operation without user intervention.
Service
The harvester is made using high-strength metal and reliable plastics. Nevertheless, you should be careful about the technique so that it lasts longer while maintaining the original functionality. Regular cleaning and checking the integrity of the elements is the main preventive measure to maintain the optimal condition of “Magic Bullet”. Spare parts can also break, requiring replacement - this mainly applies to knives. Therefore, you should consider the characteristics of the products before immersing them in the combine.
Positive reviews
The first thing that users pay attention to is the versatility of the device and the speed of work. There are many tasks that the combine cannot handle, but they lie in another area of culinary art. Nevertheless, the range of functions that modern juicers and blenders take on is easily performed by the Magic Bullet. Reviews also indicate that the equipment allows you to go far beyond the basic functions. For example, convenient cups and mugs can be used at parties for serving dishes and cocktails. In handling and maintenance the harvester practically does not cause problems. Housewives emphasize the light weight and simple system of fixing the elements of the device.
Negative reviews
If we take into account the average price segment in which the combine is represented, then the suspicions of customers regarding its quality are quite understandable. And indeed, there are many reviews of how quickly the same cutting elements break down. Unfortunately, there is practically no specialized service for Magic Bullet in Russia, so problems can arise with the replacement of spare parts. Despite the multifunctionality, many talk about the uselessness of the device. That is, its working qualities and versatility are not canceled, but still the device covers only a certain culinary niche. For example, it is perfect for serving parties, preparing snacks and light dishes, but is ineffective in the daily gastronomic maintenance of a large family.
Conclusion
In the market, this combine is positioned as a miracle technique. How true is this statement? To some extent, the Magic Bullet apparatus is truly advanced. Although there are similar devices, in terms of functionality and quality of work, this model is ahead of any competitor. And yet, the creators do not offer any technological discoveries. They only combined several devices in one. The obvious and indisputable advantages of the combine can be attributed precisely to the reasonableness of the device, not only in functionality, but also in ergonomics. In addition, it is worth noting the original design and compactness of the device, which is important in a modern kitchen.
