bella Rocket Blender 6-Piece Set with Stacking Cups, Plum

This portable blender is also much easier than I thought. The size is small, and it is very convenient to put it in the kitchen or take it out. It is basically enough to make milkshakes, protein drinks or fruit smoothies. It's not troublesome to wash. It's often clean after washing. What I like most is that it is directly a cup, and you can drink it after beating it without pouring it over and over again. Although the horsepower is definitely not comparable to that of a large blender, it is enough for daily use, and the sound is not so exaggerated. If you usually like to make your own drinks or drink protein shake after exercising, I think this portable blender is really convenient.

I'm writing this review because I am looking for some replacement parts for my blender and saw I had never reviewed the original purchase. After 18 months of use, I wanted to give some advise on how to keep your blender working and you happy. I bought this blender to make daily smoothies for better health and to have something to stimulate my appetite for the day. I hate breakfast foods. The first tip I will give is keep the base clean inside the blender area. Wipe it after each use, especially if anything gets into the blending area. There is a tiny hole that will get clogged if you don't keep it clean. Second, make sure to keep the gaskets on the blade casing new and fresh. They will hold dirt easily, and they wear out pretty frequently, so buy some extras. Third, do not over fill your cup, especially with liquid. You can fudge a bit more with solids. Make sure to put the blade lid on tight before blending or you will be cleaning a mess daily. Fourth, get some extra cups if you can when you buy the original, as they do not hold up as well as the unit itself and are almost impossible to find replacements. If you break off the 'nubs' on the cup, the unit will not work, no matter what you do. The cup is then useless for making the blender work. Be careful with your cups and don't throw them around, as they are not really sturdy. Fifth, the cups, lids and blade lids are dishwasher safe. I don't run the blade housing through much, just wash it daily by hand and take the gasket out a few times a week to clean. Also, don't use the heated dry setting, as it could crack the cups and lids. Last, but not least! BE GENTLE WITH USING THE CUP TO START THE MOTOR. Don't force the cup into the unit, press it in gently. If it doesn't start the first time, take the cup out and reposition. I see a lot of reviews on here about the motors not working, etc. This is a small motor made overseas. It is not a generator engine! It will break if you are impatient and rough on it. And it will break the nubs off of the cup. Also, don't shake it around while blending to further blend the ingredients. Take the cup off and shake, then return to blending if necessary. I never have to do this with mine. I do my smoothie out of spinach, some frozen fruit, a small yogurt cup, some water, protein powder, and fiber powder. It fills the cup perfectly and all happens in less than 5 minutes total. That is mixing and then the blending time is about 35 seconds. This is a great unit for a small price.

It works like a blender nothing extraordinary. The plastic does feel a little cheap, and getting it settled is a little difficult, I will say for the price you could get a better option. The color is beautiful

We owned the Magic Bullet for about 10 years and absolutely LOVED it. We used it for all types of things, like grinding coffee, to pureeing steamed vegetables, to chopping nuts and making iced coffee. But it finally died, and we just didn't have the money to spend on a new one. I happened to see this Bella here on Amazon and thought that for the price, I would give it a try. I am so impressed with this Bella! It has just as much power as my bullet did. The noise level I find to be about the same. But the Bella motor feels smoother when it is running. The Bella cups are a definite improvement over the bullet cups. The Bella cups are flat on top, so you can set them down while open to add ingredients or use as a cup. The bullet cups were rounded and could not be set free-standing. The Bella cups are also MUCH easier to clean, because they are completely smooth, where as the bullet cups had grooves. I should also add that we have a VitaMix as well, which is a VERY powerful blender appliance. But the Bella is SO MUCH more convenient. The VitaMix is just big and heavy and a pain, where as the Bella is quick and easy and takes up so little space! We are really enjoying this Bella. It was a REALLY good investment for the price! And so easy to use. Like our old Bullet, just throw the cups and blades right into the dishwasher when done! We have used our Bella to make dry bread crumbs, puree soups, chop nuts and a few other things since receiving it. All uses have worked flawlessly so far. We DEFINITELY recommend this for anyone considering the bullet, but wishing for a more reasonable price tag, and easier to use cups!

I purchased the BELLA BLender because I already owned one and after probably 10 years it died on my. I chose to purchase a previously returned one like new condition. The first one I received was caked with food and didn’t work so decided to get another one. The second one arrived even worse condition. I have purchased many times returned items like new and never had this happen, but twice on same item :-( I know it’s a decent little blender because mine served me well for so long. So I am now buying a new one and keep you updated Pics, you can see how cloudy (the dirty one) was compared to the clear (clean one) Update: I purchased a replacement Bella and 35 days later it died on me. Black dust everywhere. I hope the company will help me. The Amazon return window has closed. I do not recommend this blender 7/10/25 update: Bella was wonderful. They are fully refunding me the purchase price of the blender. But, I still don’t recommend it due to the fact 3 of the same blenders and 2 of them blew up and 1 was sent to me with food in it. They don’t make them like they did when I purchased my old one 10 years ago.

I was a bit reluctant to order this Bella blender 'cuz my first ~10 year old Bella Cucina leaked and wasn't quite powerful enough to blend iced smoothies....smooth. The new Bella's price was right, the motor was stronger, and I only make smoothies sporadically so I gave it a shot. What a difference! Although the motor, jars, and blades basically look the same it did a great job on my mango, celery, banana, yogurt, and ice smoothie. No ice chips or unblended celery. I'm happy and hope it continues to perform.

Blends very well

I have purchased this item twice. Both times the product worked really well only for a few months. My daughter and I used used it a lot to make delicious smoothies. Typically I start with crushed ice as my refrigerator has an ice crusher in the door so it's handy. I would fill the cup about 1/3 full with the crushed ice then add water to cover and fill in all the extra room that is created around the ice and a little bit extra (like maybe a 1/2 inch higher than the ice). Then add in a couple small handfuls of frozen fruit of some sort (strawberries, mangos, blueberries, peaches) if I had banana's handy I'd put a half of one in. If you want it creamy, add in about a 1/2 a container of yogurt or a little milk. Don't fill it all the way full, you have to leave some empty space for it to have it spin around. If your not putting in yogurt or milk, then put extra water in so that it is thin enough to spin around. The first unit I had the cup got stuck in the motor unit and would not come out so the second unit I had, I never twisted the cup into the motor base at all. All that is necessary is to put the cup in place and push down on it a bit and it spins. It only takes about a minute or less to mix it up into an awesome smoothie. I loved the quick, easy and delicious smoothies it makes and miss not having one. I'm currently debating on buying a 3rd one exactly like this or switching to another brand. I still have all the cups, lids, blades etc that comes with this brand so would be able to reuse those. This platinum edition is the first one I bought, the 2nd time I got the smaller version that has the black trim and less pieces that is less expensive. The motor just stopped working completely. It was only about $25 which I think is actually not too bad of a price to pay. I'm considering buying a more expensive unit with the hope it will last longer, but thinking I can buy about 3 of these for the price of the better one. With the price of buying smoothies at a McDonalds, Spangles, Sonic type restaurant being about $3 to $5, I think I got my monies worth out of it even if it only lasts a few months. Plus the convenience of not having to go somewhere to get one is valuable to me and I know the ingredients I'm putting into it are healthly and prepared in a clean environment. I rarely used the little cup and the grinder blade. I did find it could be helpful if startiig with whole ice cubes to grind them up smaller before switching to the blender blade. Cleaning it a breeze, if you just rinse it out immediately after using it, it's ready to go again. The to go cup is great, can't sip out of the lid though. It's a cover only.

Justo la recibí, está muy bonita, se siente de buena calidad. La seguiré probando y volveré para comentarles si encontré alguna falla. Por lo pronto todo excelente! Después de un tiempo de uso, no hay que forzarla con mezclas espesas o muy duras por qué el motor se apaga. Metí a moler frijoles jajaja y dejó de funcionar por un rato, luego volvió a funcionar con normalidad

This is a must have appliance. I love the size of this product as it is not too big and bulky for daily use. It is durable, easy to clean/store, and an excellent value for my money.

Much as I like the product, the outer box was severely damaged, at first thought the product also must be damaged, as the box is extremely mishandled in transportation. I did ask for the product to be delivered in Amazon out box. My request was overlooked. Bit frustrating.

Blender has just broke so I got this one for the time being and it’s great, loud Ofc but it really blends what ever I put I there well!

Does the work but very loud noise
