Bella Rocket Blender 12 Piece Set vs OBERLY Portable Blender Side-by-Side Comparison
Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set vs. OBERLY Portable Blender. Whether you prioritize blending power or mobility, we've got you covered with our comparison.
Specifications
Design
The overall design of the BELLA is functional, but not particularly eye-catching so we’re not fans of neither its styling nor quality. Nevertheless, considering its affordability, along with a suit of practical accessories, we agree this blender is still a good value for money.
Our Oberly didn’t score big on quality and design. It's difficult to find a more portable design than this blender’s, which provides extreme blending comfort and convenience. Without this great mobility, however, most shoppers may hardly give it a second glance since there is a lack of sturdiness and overall quality here.
Usability
The BELLA remains one of the most user-friendly personal blenders on the market due to its simple operation, straightforward assembly, and hassle-free cleaning process. The lack of pulse function may make it tricky to create chunky textures, but we believe it won’t take much time to find the way
We like the straightforward approach of a control panel that consists of a single button, a light indicator, and a . That being said, it doesn’t make the blender more enjoyable to use or easy to maneuver. Due to the weak motor, our OBERLY cannot draw the ingredients toward its blade on its own. To produce a smooth blend, It requires lots of manual interference for shaking and food dislodging. Cleaning and assembling can be bothersome in some cases, too.
Performance
The BELLA is finely capable of preparing protein shakes and frozen fruit smoothies, but comes up short in liquifying leafy greens and pulverizing ice cues. For those that can make such compromises, this blender is the easy choice considering its price and the long list of extra accessories. Otherwise, we suggest considering the KOIOS Pro, which is similarly priced but offers more advanced capabilities.
In our months of testing, this blender has often underperformed relative to our prediction. It struggled a lot to deliver its promises on efficiency, but there wasn’t even a successful effort in the end. None of the testing results it brought to the table was smooth enough. Some of them even came out very chunky, such as the protein shakes. If you were fortunate enough to own a decent personal blender, you may find the OBERLY less likely an alternative you want. Certainly, this blender is not like what is marketed on paper.

Conclusion
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.
