Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set vs. OBERLY Portable Blender

Overall Verdict

When comparing the Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set and the OBERLY Portable Blender, there are some significant differences to consider.

On one hand, the Bella is a traditional, corded blender that can blend nuts, dried food, and frozen fruits but has difficulty with leafy greens and ice. On the other hand, the OBERLY is a cordless personal blender that is marketed for its take-along design, but its performance is subpar and often results in chunky consistency. 

While both blenders have their drawbacks, the Bella is the better choice if you prioritize blending performance over portability. Meanwhile, the OBERLY may win some fans for its mobility; still, its lackluster performance makes it less likely a practical alternative.

Pros & Cons

  • Adequate build quality allows for reliable performance.
  • The motor is less likely to overheat like some of its rivals.
  • It’s pretty good at processing frozen fruits and raw nuts. 
  • Its ease of use provides a satisfying blending experience.
  • Cordless design provides excellent mobility. 
  • Quite convenient for small batches of baby food and fresh fruit smoothies.
  • It’s very easy to charge the battery.
  • It may not add any aesthetic interest to your kitchen due to its inspired design.
  • The ability to liquify fibrous greens is compromised by the low price. 
  • The resting period between blending intervals is longer than average, taking up to 3 minutes.
  • The 175-watt motor is too weak to ensure quick, smooth blends.
  • In exchange to its cheap price is a relatively flimsy construction. 
  • For a thorough blending process, it requires cutting the food into tiny particles. 
  • Some may find it annoying to shake the blender while it is blending.
