BELLA Personal Size Rocket Blender, 12 piece set, color stainless steel and chrome

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.

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!

I have had two hamilton beach blenders and both broke within a year, I bought the bella in hopes that it will hold up longer (based on good reviews) so far (I have had it about a month) I really like it. Works well, easy to clean, easy to use and it's well sealed when in use so no spillage, it also comes with an extra large container and a small container for grinding nuts etc. I use it every day and seems like a well built little machine I highly recommend this based on performance so far.

Ele é 110v! Precisei devolver!

I bought this not for drinks but for making Indian chutneys, and for dry grinding spices. They are similar to making smoothies and grinding coffee. It works well! Yes, it is loud, which i wasn't expecting for a little guy like this, but totally worth it! Pros: - is very quick. You won't need to run it for more than 30 seconds at a time! - comes with additional lids, multiple jars and spare ring!! - easy to clean - size makes it easy to place in the kitchen and looks so good!! Cons: - a little too loud - too many attachments (Although you won't probably use a lot of them on a regular basis)
