KOIOS 4-In-1 Immersion vs BELLA 10-Speed Side-by-Side Comparison

By , , , and ·Updated
KOIOS 4-In-1 Immersion vs BELLA 10-Speed

Overall Verdict

After a series of tests, we found that the KOIOS 4-in-1 offers a better way to make smoothies at home. It’s also a more suitable immersion blender for your puree soup, emulsified sauces, and meringue cookies.

On paper, the BELLA claims to be an all-purpose device, and our real-world experiences have found this to be true. However, we still consider this blender to be a waste of money due to its poorly-built and frustrating usability. When working at the highest speed settings, its motor shook so much we felt our hands would fall off. At some certain points within the test, we couldn’t even fully control it.

And that’s why even when compared to the KOIOS 4-in-1 in terms of price and efficiency, we still prefer the KOIOS 4-in-1.
