Bella Cucini VS Magic Bullet

Last winter I wanted a Magic Bullet really badly and went shopping for a good price. After finding one at Elderbeerman for cheeper than Walmart I decided to get it but they were out! UGH! So I went online and oredered it, at the discounted price PLUS an added discount for ordering online... (YAY!) a week or so later I got an email that said it wasn't coming because they were out of them :(  but I could call customer service. I called and they said they would look for one for me if they located it they would send one out.
   I  figured I was out of luck so I went looking and a face book friend told me she had a Bella Cucina and loved it.
   I found one on Ebay and bought it for next to nothing and it arrived very fast and I was pleased. The next day a Magic bullet also arrived! That was unexpected, but ok I am a lucky girl and have both now.
   My friend said I should compare them and share my thoughts. So here they are.
   The Bella Cucina out performs the Magic bullet IMHO.
Both are good products but BCgoes longer with out smelling like the engine is burning and does better when crushing ice and blending ice drinks, and doesn't need the shaking the MB seems to need when things in it aren't mixing properly.
   However with that being said, when using the flat blade cap the MB did better because my BC leaks, I think it is just my unit because the seal on the cap sits oddly and won't seal properly.
   I fully plan to use them both as they are both good units and you would be happy with either one. This canning season Both of my units will be incredibly busy and I will be posting if either of them gives up the ghost...
   There you have it, my review comparison of Bella Cucina and Magic Bullet.

No you can't use the same blades, cups or swap the blender parts.
