Magic Bullet/small Appliances

My blender is a whole lot more powerful than that thing and I don't have a problem running it. Don't worry about it, just make sure the APU or truck is on when you turn the blender on or else it will kill your batteries very quickly. Wouldn't even worry about it.

APU:

Auxiliary Power Unit

On tractor trailers, and APU is a small diesel engine that powers a heat and air conditioning unit while charging the truck's main batteries at the same time. This allows the driver to remain comfortable in the cab and have access to electric power without running the main truck engine.

Having an APU helps save money in fuel costs and saves wear and tear on the main engine, though they tend to be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore only a very small percentage of the trucks on the road today come equipped with an APU.

Nice! Thanks Daniel. I wish I could bring my Vitamix...but that might be overkill. It does make the BEST shakes.

I purchased an original Magic Bullet yesterday (not the bigger Nutri Bullet) for when I have my own truck. I read inside the book to not plug it in a converter. I remember reading here from another member that some truckers have one. What kind of set up do you need to have to be able to run it? The magic bullet is a 250 watts motor, the Nutri Bullet is a 600 watts.

FYI I have the NutriBullet RX, it's 1700 watts, 2.5hp and it rocks. Been using it for close to a year and a half & still love drinking the drinks. This RX also makes soup & it gets seriously hot. It blends stuff amazingly well, I can not believe the greens & other healthy stuff I normally would rarely to never eat & I don't even taste it, all I taste is the fruit I put in with it. I personally highly recommend the NutruBullet RX, worth every penny. I did quite a bit of research & reluctantly bought it being I've done juicing and other health drinks in the past which where either too much of a pain in the ass or they where too thick & nasty in which lasted no more than a week. Bought this thing & well over a year later still enjoying it, specially how much better I feel drinking them. I put all kinds of nutritious crap in them (probably too much), I just research online for what is the healthiest stuff, also what skins of the fruit or veggies are healthy, it's amazing how many skins hold so much potent nutrition not only skins but seeds as well. If your power source can handle this model I'd recommend it highly. When in cold places you can make a nice hot cup of healthy soup in 7 minutes or what ever hot drink you want.

Paul B. I have a Vitamix at home. Nothing beats that. I had originally purchased a Ninja, and I had to chew on the greens I was putting in my shakes (kale, spinach...). I returned it, and got the Vitamix. Much more money, but SOOOO worth the price. I literally liquefies the greens. But I'd think it's too powerful for the truck. Not only that, but it is not as compact.

Did you manage to resolve the issue with using the Magic Bullet in your truck? I've been thinking about getting one for my rig too. By the way, how has the blender been treating you so far? Would love to hear your review on it before I make the purchase.

Unfortunately, RV stopped posting 7 yrs 8 mths ago. She never posted that she went to a company, much less got her CDL. So, it's unknown how the equipment worked.
