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

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.

I got this because I just needed a cheap option to blend some frozen acai to make my own home acai bowls, I haven't bought the huge "professional" blenders that come with those tamper plungers for years because I never need to make that much of anything anymore. I like that this is powerful enough to create a smoothie consistency by blending frozen fruit without needing a lot of liquid. It's a press down to operate which is similar to the magic bullet that I have too. There are some minor things I would change but overall for the price it is simple and works great and also looks better and sleeker than the magic bullet.

Only $30, that's a great price for a blender like this. Reminds me of a nutribullet, but costs way less. I've been blending frozen fruit in this bad boy and it handles it like a champ. It's quite powerful and does what I need. The only complaint I would even have about it is the lid with the sipping side has a very small cutout and I kinda wish it was a little bigger for sipping thicker smoothies. Now I just drink it with the lid off though. Overall definitely happy so far, mind you I have used it every day since I got it this past week. Not really a testament to longevity yet but shows promise so far. I have a lot of Bella kitchen products though and have been happy with each one so far. A great brand to get solid products for a fraction of the price.

Love the number of blades (6), it takes no time to 10 times better make a smoothie. Grinds coffee beans in 5 sec.

Don’t waste your money!! I’ve only had this blender for 4 months. I use it once in the morning, so I’m really not using it very much. It came with 2 bigger size cups and 1 smaller cup, the bigger one was perfect for blending my healthy drinks in the morning. The first larger cup cracked on the side and started leaking, so I got the second cup out used it for about a week and now it’s leaking all over the place, leaking from the cup and the blade screw on part. The blender part works fine…if only the cups weren’t sooooo cheap!! I’m throwing it out and buying a ninja or a magic bullet! I wish I would’ve bought this cheap piece of junk!! Now, I’m spending more money because I tried to go cheap!!

So far so good, for everything you get it’s so worth the price. It’s cute and easy to use

Works great for smoothies sauces and more.

I used this blender daily for almost a year. I make fruit smoothies every morning. The blander is under powered and if you blend for over 10 seconds you can smell the wires in the motor. After 10 months if gave out and started smoking. Since it was still under warranty I submitted a claim and was offered a refund but no replacement option. My smoothies consisted of fresh fruit and spring water. Nothing really heavy to churn through.

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.

Ele é 110v! Precisei devolver!

Construction solide, moteur puissant, ne fuit pas. Excellent choix.

I bought this for making smoothies and it does a wonderful job at it when you follow the recommended levels and follow a few unmentioned practises. I had read several reviews before purchasing that explained issues with the rubber seal releasing into the cup during the blending process I did have it happen once when it tightened the lid firmly, I have moved to a practise of just snug and have had not issues since. There have also been reported issues with low power to process, this again was experience but only when I'd tried filling beyond the max indicator of the cup, otherwise it has worked flawlessly. It does work well when it's limits are understood and used within them. I've had no issues with frozen fruits out veggies blending to creamy perfection.
