BlendTec!!!! I can't say enough about this machine! (I tried the Magic Bullet and returned it after one use.) My blender just couldn't crush the ice and cleaning was such a hassle.
It was almost $300 from Costco. I thought the price was outrageous, but after the demonstration, DH and I both decided that it was an investment for our family's health. They had a roadshow/demonstration and this thing is just amazing. If you go to Jamba Juice or some other drink places, they use the commercial version of this blender.
What I love most is that it is a breeze to clean, nothing to disassemble and it shuts off automatically.
Now we have smoothies every day, sometimes 2X a day. I put in all kinds of fruit, some ground flax seeds, ice and orange juice and we all just love it.

I love my Magic Bullet. I don't use ice in my smoothies. I use bananas, berries and soya milk with some protien powder.
The Magic Bullet is so easy to clean - I just love it.

I highly recommend a VitaMix! I use mine at least once per day!

I've used a Magic Bullet for several years (I'm on my second one).
I use it for smoothies (I also don't add ice : I have lots of crowns and don't like things too cold, and the cold from frozen fruits or frozen banana chunks is good enough for me.) I also make açaí sorbets (kind of melty sorbet texture) with it.

I agree, this is one of the best blender/mixers on the market, pricey though, but I'm so glad I bought it, I also use it at least once a day.

Really? I thought there was only one magic bullet. I bought mine at Kohls.
I do not use ice, but I use frozen berries and they make my smoothies nice and thick. Hmmmmmm, I want one right now lol

Another vote for the Magic Bullet. I believe there is only one. I got mine at Shopko about $59 and like Kathryn I am on my 2nd one. I have used the Magic bullet for Margarita's with ice too and it works well...
Mmmmm, margarita's. Oh wait, I don't like tequila

I think that's kind of what I have. Is it a sort of wand like device with rotating blades at the end? You put all you goodies into a large plastic cup (provided, with a rubber lid), you insert the device and it blends everything together like a blender? I have a KitchenAid version I bought from Target and it's sooooo much less of a hassle than a blender (which has a bunch of parts to clean). Love it.

Nope, that's an immersion blender.
A Magic Bullet (brand name) is an individual blender. The unit itself + cup is shaped kind of like a bullet (or a big suppository).
