Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set vs. Magic Bullet 250W

Overall Verdict

Comparing the Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set and the Magic Bullet 250W, the Bella stood out as the more versatile blender in terms of performance and design. Based on the test results, it seems better at making smoothies with frozen fruits and other soft ingredients. It has an adequate motor that can handle raw almonds and dried berries for smooth protein shakes as well. However, it’s worth noting that this blender sometimes falls short in processing high-fiber foods as it tends to leave behind chunks of unprocessed greens.

In contrast, the Magic Bullet struggled to blend a variety of ingredients. It does liquify leafy vegetables more quickly than the Bella, but that’s about it. Overall, the Bella offers a more versatile and efficient blending performance, making it the better choice between the two.
