After using personal blenders for a year, I broke down and bought the magic bullet. My personal blender would die or shut off because of the weirdest things and did not break up the ice the way I like it to.. The magic bullet blender is much more powerful, and is compact enough for the camper. It makes two to three daiquiris or margaritas at a time. It is enough for my husband and I to enjoy a drink without worrying about the rest melting in the heat. The ice is perfectly blended every time. I have no complaints about this. Love it!
