The Magic Bullet Mini is a compact and affordable personal blender that makes smooth blends with its sharp blades. It’s perfect for novice users, as it only has one speed mode with pulse. But its small cup size and high noise level are huge limitations.

Overview

The Magic Bullet Mini is an entry-level personal blender that was first released back in 2020. Unlike the best blenders in its range, the Bullet Mini only features a 200-watt DC brushless motor which, along with its four sharp and serrated stainless steel blades, supports ice crushing but can’t produce almond butter.

Moreover, both of the Magic Bullet Mini’s 13 and 8-oz pitchers are dishwasher-friendly and easy to clean, but they do not support hot blending. It only features one speed setting of 21400 RPM (Rotations Per Minute) along with a pulse mode that gets activated once you push down on the jar, and it gets pretty loud at 91.2 decibels. If you need a quieter blender, consider taking a look at our Ninja Fit Blender review.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Magic Bullet Mini is a fantastic affordable option for users that don’t have much countertop space in their kitchen, as long as they are fine with its plastic build. Despite having a low-powered motor, its four sharp and serrated blades perform well while making smoothies with fibrous ingredients like leafy greens.

However, if you want something that performs similarly with leafy ingredients but comes with larger cups, check out our Magic Bullet Essential Blender review. This blender is extremely easy to clean and operate due to having just one speed mode. But, being tested at 91.2 decibels, it is one of the loudest blenders around.

It also comes with two different pitchers, and you can drink out of the larger cup, thanks to the included lip ring.

Thanks to its slightly higher powered 250 watt DC brushless motor, the Magic Bullet Blender MBR-1101 performs better than the 200 watt Magic Bullet Mini when it comes to ice and nut crushing. In addition, the MBR-1101 comes with three containers that are 15, 12, and 4 oz, respectively, while the Mini only has two smaller pitchers that are 13 and 8 oz, respectively.

As the BlendJet 2 is essentially a portable personal blender that runs on a battery, it doesn’t perform as well as the 200-watt Magic Bullet Mini while making nut butter or chopping fibrous ingredients. However, the BlendJet 2 does have a considerably larger main pitcher that has a max capacity of 16 oz, and it features a much better and sharper six-point stainless steel blade system that crushes ice faster than the Magic Bullet Mini blender.

The 200-watt Magic Bullet Mini has much better ice and nut-crushing performance than the portable NutriBullet GO, as the latter blender’s measly 70-watt motor runs on a rechargeable battery. The Bullet Mini also produces silkier smoothies compared to the NutriBullet GO, as it has a better fibrous ingredient chopping performance. In addition, the Magic Bullet Mini blender comes with two main pitchers, but the NutriBullet GO only has one 13 oz cup.
