BELLA (13984) 15 Piece Rocket Extract PRO Power Blender Set, Stainless Steel

I just got this and couldn't wait to try it out. Out of the box, I was impressed with how sturdy the machine, blades and tumblers were. I also like the sleek stainless steel look and have no problem keeping it on display on my counter because it matches my appliances. The first shake I made was with Muscle Milk, a shot of wheat grass, some fiber, ice and pineapple chunks. It made a smoothie in about 30 seconds. Pretty fast. The only thing that I noticed was that some the powder of the Wheat Grass was stuck on the side of the tumbler and I had to scrape it off with a spoon. That surprised me, given the power that it crushed the ice and everything else with. I haven't tried the grinding blade yet so I can't comment on it.I also found the tumblers to be quite large in circumference for a travel mug. Not enough of a big deal to cause me to down grade my review though. The other thing that I found annoying, until I realized that I was doing it wrong, was that the lip lids are SUPER hard to unscrew. No matter how hard I tried, I could not remove it, until I realized that it just lifts off when you pull it up (my bad). But, being that all of the other lids screw on, I just assumed these did too. So, if you get it, just remember to lift off.The best part is how easy it is to use and clean. I have other mixers and juicers that make you think twice about using them because they are big, hard to clean and need to be stored. This one is so convenient that I can see myself using it for smoothies, soups, dips, pancake batters, juicing, grating, grinding and just about anything. I also like that there are three large tumbler, 1 medium, and 1 small, plus they have lids, which means that you can refrigerate before and after. So, after much rambling....I highly recommend this product.

This purchase was to replace a Rocket Extract Pro that I bought in 2018 from Amazon for 32.99. This purchase was 39.99. This little power blender packs a lot of punch. It comes with plenty of useful accessories, including 2 different blades, and 4 tumblers. It also includes a shaker lid, drinking lid, 2 smooth rings to cover the screw top edges of the tumblers for drinking, and 3 solid lids. With the flat blade, it will grind coffee beans and nuts. The blending blade takes care of most fruits and vegetables, when cut to a manageable size, producing quick smoothies or purees. It chops ice fairly well. I do not use the blender every day--probably 4-8 times a month. For the price, for what and how I often I use it, especially with the accessories, and for the 4 years of service it gave me, I am very satisfied. Satisfied enough that I bought another one.

Excellent product. Don't run it more than 3 minutes at a time. Does give off an initial "hot wire " smell, still works fine. Only gripe I have with it is their ridiculous go-cup lid. Makes a terrible mess when using it on the go. That piece needs re-designed. EDIT: I am editing my review because the emulsifier (blending) blade wore out already, and I have called three times, at least two weeks to a month apart, and Bella housewares NEVER has the blending blade in stock. ALL I ever hear is call back in about two weeks. OK, so THIS time, I was told to call back in two weeks, and I called back in a week and a half to see what they would tell me... and I was told to call back in a MONTH. (Not in a few days, if the last call-taker was correct/honest. SO, from this, I surmise that they NEVER get in new blending blades and trail their call-takers to just say call back in two weeks... When I asked the newest call-taker today when was the last time they had these blades in (I have been without my extractor for at least 3,5 months now, and tossed my old blender because I THOUGHT this would be my replacement) She said June. They did not have them when I called in June. I will not ever buy a Bella Housewares Rocket Extract Pro again. Because you cannot get parts. One of the little girls that took my call said with a slight giggle, "we sell ALOT of the blending blades, is why we cant keep them in stock. (sigh) meaning they wear out quickly. Going to go with a Nutribullet, if they are NOT made or marketed by Bella housewares, because it appears one can purchase parts for it... Sorry I was so enchanted with the Rocket Extract pro LOVED it when it worked (oh, but I DID have to wear earplugs when I used it.)

This thing is powerful. It's loud, but it's so powerful that I haven't had to run it for more than a few seconds anyway. Seeds? No problem. Ice? Piece of cake. Obvious statement of the day: depending on what you're making, be sure to include enough liquid as you would (or should) with any other blender in order for it to operate properly.It comes with 3 of the large cups, 2 small ones, 2 blades (one regular blender blade and one specifically for dry items), a tiny "recipe book", cup rings, a travel lid, a shaker lid, and some regular lids. The base has suction cups to help it stay in place when it's powered on. There's not on/ off switch per se, as it powers on when you lock the blade into place. I only included that because I'm not the smartest. That reminds me, there are instructions detailing this thing, if you prefer to read about it.I was apprehensive because I got it for about less than half of what the NutriBullet typically costs, but thus far I have been impressed. I use it daily. I blend, toss on a ring or travel lid and go about my business, and then toss the pieces in the dishwasher. I've done them by hand and they're easy to clean that way, too; I'm lazy, though.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. If it goes to poop or something then I will update my review accordingly.

Ignoro el porque de algunos comentarios negativos, creo que no le han dado el uso correcto a la maquina, particularmente esta es mi 3ra maquina BELLA Rocket y no por mal funcionamiento, todo lo contrario, son excelentes y ya un par de maliliares se llevo las otras 2 que tenia, pues quedaron encantados con su dieseño, accesorios, y FUNCIONALIDAD. Simplemente estoy adquiriendo una más para recuperar mi BELLA. y la volveria a comprar si fuera necesario. OTRAS son más comerciales y si, venden las refacciones en todos lados a precios accesibles precisamente por su elevado desgaste, y a la larga sale más caro su mantenimiento.

I have purchased a few different "mini blender / smoothie" makers over the past few years as well as one very expensive one. None compare to the Bella. All seeds from the berries were almost completely blended in. Had to play with the portion of liquid to berries and veggies to get it to blend perfectly smooth and frequently put way less liquid in to start with then added more to thin it out. Nice to have the various sizes of cups and the additional blade for other uses. It is not the quietest but the more powerful motor means you don't have to run it as long. Only takes 10-30 seconds depending on size of cup and that's with frozen fruit. Easy to clean as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy. Might be slightly more expensive than some others but you do get all the extra cups, blade and lids, and a powerful motor that many others don't have.

Works well and has good power.

BUENO, BONITO Y BARATO ADEMAS DE UNA POTENCIA MUY BUENA Y NADA LE PIDE AL QUE SUPUESTAMENTE ES EL ORIGINAL POR LO QUE ES MUY RECOMENDABLE.

Excellent bang for the buck.......still using 3X day for last 2+ years without issues, just purchased another one for daughter moving out.
