Overall Verdict
The PopBabies’s cordless design is fairly convenient but provides disappointing practicality. Specifically, we found that its performance in the tests was suboptimal, making unsatisfactory shakes and smoothies. Nonetheless, this blender can still be an asset in simpler blends, such as on-the-go purees, as long as the ingredients are well-chopped.
Like the PopBabies, the BELLA is unsuitable for complex blending tasks, but in our testing, it slightly outperformed the competitor with smoother and more consistent blends. Additionally, its corded design guarantees a consistent and reliable power supply throughout the operation, which removes the risk of the battery running out of charge mid-blend, as can happen with the PopBabies blender.
Pros & Cons
- The cordless design allows for blending on-the-go.
- It is pretty useful when it comes to making small batches of baby food and fresh fruit smoothies.
- The battery is easy to charge.
- It’s good for simple plant-based blends.
- Built quality is mediocre but fine for the price.
- Simple design allows for straightforward use, cleaning, and storage.
- It stands stably, rather than jumping around, while working.
- It’s inadequate for blending tough ingredients like frozen fruits and raw nuts.
- The cup’s small capacity limits the quantity of ingredients.
- Food must be cut into very small pieces before blending.
- The low cost of the blender is reflected in its flimsy construction.
- The cup’s small opening makes it messy to add ingredients.
- The need to shake the blender during operation
- The lack of versatility.
- Short power cord.
