Nuwave Twister at first glance seems to be identical to the Magic Bullet. Since when did Nuwave make the move from convection ovens to food processors? It's yet another in a long line of space saving blenders for the home. Since there's no point in having it save space but not blend, mix and grate properly, Linda Schneider thought she'd give it a whirl.
The big draw with these all-in-one blenders and food processors, is that you can make small quantities of desserts, baby food dips and soups without dirtying too many dishes and making a mess of the kitchen.
The instructions for the NuWave Twister mention that you simply blend until smooth. Well it didn't really work out that way. Linda found chunks of ice in her smoothie. Not just small ones but huge ice cubes that she had to pick out of her smoothie, which, whether you're serving to guests or yourself during a summer foxy bingo session, aren't going to go down well at all - literally. The second test was a mango salsa in which she attempted to chop the mangoes. Still no luck since the mangoes came out in large chunks. The food ended up just being pushed around in the container and stuck there. So much for the time saving, easy to clean up kitchen gadget.
NuWave Twister doesn't work as advertised. If you call it a chopper and a blender it should do a much better job. The motor is not powerful enough to do either blending or chopping. I think this company should stick to making NuWave Ovens instead. The Magic Bullet on the other hand is not perfect, it's more expensive but better than the Nuwave Twister.

I have had the nuwave twister for over 3 years and have made an estimated 1200 smoothies in it before the cup broke, not the motor. I want to buy a new one and saw this website. I was really surprised when I saw the bad review. Obviously the person making the smoothie has NO idea what they are doing! First I have never put ICE in one EVER! That is just dumb. You use frozen fruit. Second I tried to use another brand and after about 15 smoothies I burned the motor up! My friend bought a magic bullet and took it back. The bullet was WAAY overpriced and just not as powerful. So I am happily on my way to Target to get another one!
If you want to get something good. You need to get what restaurants use. But they are very, very expensive. I believe that some are so powerful they can even make hot soup!
I should add that with a €300 ($400) price tag they aren’t cheap!
