JML magic bullet £64 .. or Hinari at £23 ??

You may have seen the adverts on the tv shopping channels for the JML magic bullet blender ... which in fairness i think is a superb product .. but at their £64 delivered is too much really ..

To my surprise i then found the Hinari Genie .... how identical can 2 products look ?? !! ... best deal i found is on Amazon at £22.49 delivered .

Out of interest i emailed Jml saying i thought they looked identical .. and could they explain why there's was 3 times the price ?

First reply was simply ...
"
Thank you for your recent correspondence. We can confirm this is not the same product. "

I wrote back , saying i was very unhappy with that simple response . They replied ...

"Although the product looks similar, we cannot list specific differences as we are not familiar with the other product.
We are sorry to be of no further assistance in this matter "


i wrote back again saying i simply could not believe " we are not familiar with the other product" .

Their response ...
"The product you are referring to is not a JML product therefore we would be unable to assist you in determining differences between that product and the JML product. It looks similar and that is the only comparison we would be able to make. "


I gave up ... and ordered the Hinari from Amazon . Received 48 hours later .. delighted with it !!

The JML 'advert' programme is so funny. Stumbled across it one night in error; great 80's retro look, cheesy lines, blurred out cigarette from one of the 'stars'; it is a classic!!

That said, the bullet did sound like a good product

Might have to look at the Hinari one; it order to make my own coleslaw, guacamole, smoothies, salsa, etc.
