I loved this mop when it worked. After only a few uses, the mist mechanism no longer sprays. I suppose it could be "clogged" although since I've never put a thing into it but water & something vinegar, I don't know what it can be clogged with. I will try to take it apart & "clean" it to see if that helps, but in the meantime, this mop is useless. -

I received this two Christmases ago & used it several times a week ever since, mainly for smoothies. It worked pretty well, although it was not so good with frozen fruit, I found...I'd usually leave the frozen fruit in the Bullet cup in my fridge overnight, so it would be thawed enough by morning.
It worked wonderfully when it still worked. But like the previous reviewer, my Bullet simply stopped working--woke up last weekend, intending to have a breakfast smoothie, & Nothing. No power at all. Not very impressive for only a year & a half worth of service. I intend to buy a Ninja Master Prep to replace it.

I read about this in the book Ecoholic Beauty & as I am always on the look-out for facial sunscreen that can be worn under makeup, does not make my skin oily, & is less toxic than most sunscreen, I decided to try it. It's a bit difficult to find--I've only seen it in The Big Carrot in Toronto, although I assume it must be in other health stores somewhere. It comes in a 2.5-oz tube & is expensive in-store--$35 plus taxes. By contrast, I used to use Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF30 & paid around $25 for the same size. But if you can afford Devita, it's worth every penny. This stuff is the least greasy of any facial sunscreen I've ever tried, the SPF is high enough, & it works. And there's the added advantage of knowing you're not smearing carcinogens on your face in an effort to avoid skin cancer (!). I use this 365 days a year & apply foundation on top of it. Once it soaks in, it's entirely invisible. No skin irritation at all. Highly recommended. FYI: if you can't stomach the in-store prices, try buying it online. -
