The Magic Bullet The Original MBR-1101 is part of the Blenders test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Personal Blender models like the The Original MBR-1101 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Smoothies: A high score means the blender makes more even and consistent smoothies. A top-scoring model blends ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and milk into a smooth texture.

Convenience: A high score indicates that the blender is easy to assemble, program, clean, and use. Top-scoring models typically offer simple setup, intuitive controls, easy cleanup, and enough stability to operate without needing to be held in place.

Puree: A high score means the blender purees cooked ingredients into a fine, even texture. A top-scoring model turns foods into a smooth, consistent mixture with fewer noticeable pieces.
