Overall Verdict
There's no denying that the BLACK+DECKER FusionBlade comes from a more prestigious brand and has a more visually appealing design than the Bella Rocket Blender. However, our testing found that the BLACK+DECKER was not as quick nor as efficient as the Bella when handling a mixture of frozen fruits, raw nuts, or dried fruits. This is reflected by the less impressive smoothies and protein shakes from the BLACK+DECKER compared to those from the Bella Rocket.
On the other hand, the FusionBlade was among the few mid-range personal blenders we tested that could liquify leafy greens in just 20 seconds. This makes it a better choice for those looking to incorporate more high-fiber foods into their diet. Neither blender performed well when it came to crushing ice cubes, though.
It is also worth noting that while the Bella Rocket costs less but gets you more accessories for greater versatility, the BLACK+DECKER justifies its price with higher quality design. As such, choosing between these blenders will mostly be about personal preference and needs.
