Not up to my standards, it looks nice but it lacks power

This blender never came. A sales rep. assisted in placing the order on 4/4/24. Some days after, I received calls from best buy it was cancelled. I went to the store to ask why. They told me it was no longer available . And I bought another one, Ninja, from the same store on the 5th. The money for the Bella Pro has not been refunded up till today , 7/18/24, to the card I used to purchase it. I have called jup to 6 times. Today, I received a letter referencing the Ninja and claiming I am responsible for the payment of Ninja. But I am talking of the Bella Pro Series-Precision Max Performance Blender Black.

A great and powerful blender that can fit in my kitchen and send to retirement some of the previous tools. In my search for a blender that could be powerful enough for my frozen juices (adding ice to the mix), I found that a 3.5 horsepower engine could make a difference. With a capacity of 8 cups (64 oz), the blender sits among the ones with the largest capacity in the market. This is important for serving generous portions to more than six people and simplifying the work in big groups. The pitcher material is plastic and that was not my favorite material. However considering that is ice-crushing safe and the guaranteed support from the manufacturer, I accepted the challenge. As with most of the blenders, it comes with a cap to introduce additional components to your mixture and I love that it fits perfectly and works perfectly keeping the liquids inside at all speeds. Because of the material, I understand that preparing very hot soups or liquids, could not be a great idea. The blender has plenty of options (at least 6) depending on the time and the blending level: chopping, grinding, ice crushing, mix, smoothie, and pulse. In the last week, I’ve extensively used the chopping for my veggies and the smoothie with ice. I have been not shy with the ice so I was forcing the motor up to the max. Mission accomplished and the pitcher was not showing any case of scratches. The learning curve is interesting and some practice could be required, notably if you are very picky with textures. My first tests were mostly purees, but after that, I started to feel comfortable with the machine. If you are not sure, the pulse option is the safest for you. Dishwaser safe after dismounting parts, is also an element that you could consider if as me, you dislike to do dishes. I love all about this product. I also like the fact that the manufacturer is doubling the guarantee for up to two years, which sends a strong message about your product's resilience.

So there is no safety on this thing at all. You can take the blender all the way off while the gear is spinning. Put a finger anywhere near that when it's off and it will rip it to shreds. We wanted something nice and cheap for the kids to easily make their own smoothies, but this thing was going to take of digits and we had to return it.

Smells burned every time i use it. I thought it would be a good purchase

After 2 times of usage the blender blade does not reach the motor so it just makes a loud noise and nothing blends. worst investment I’ve made on a blender it like grinded out the bottom part and the blade does not reach the motor.

I've been in the market for a new blender and I can safely say that the Bella Pro Precision Max Performance Blender is a beast! It's got a commercial-grade motor that can power through anything you throw at it, from frozen fruits and veggies to nuts and grains. It's also easy to use, with simple toggle switch controls and a digital timer. Its a high quality blender for a reasonable price. I've used my Bella Pro blender to make smoothies, frozen drinks, nut butters, and even flour. And it's handled everything perfectly. The smoothies come out smooth and creamy, the frozen drinks are slushy and delicious, the nut butters are rich and nutty, and the flour is fine and powdery. The blender is also very easy to clean. The removable parts are dishwasher safe, so I can just pop them in the dishwasher and be done with it. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my Bella Pro Precision Max Performance Blender. It's powerful, versatile, and affordable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality blender.

So I just received my Bella Pro Series Precision Max Performance Blender about a week ago and have been putting it through it's paces by using it almost daily. I absolutely love this blender. Every morning before I rush out the door, I mix up a nice protein shake to get my day started. This blender has helped tremendously with my morning smoothies/protein shakes. Upon opening the box, you'll see: * 64oz. Blender Jar with Lid * Blender Motor Base * User Documentation Now, at first glance, one might think that it may look boring. To be honest, I though so at first myself until I started using it. Though it looks plain-ish, its a very powerful blender. The motor base contains only 2 switches and a small timer display. That's all you need. A lot of other blenders I've tried over the last few years are very nice, but they tend to have a ton of buttons, switches, and knobs, with big digital displays - all of which probably never really get used in the first place. But I like what the R&D team at Bella did with this blender. They kept it simple. On the motor base: * High / Off / Low - pretty self explanatory. You have 2 speeds which you can control how fast or slow it blends. * Timer Display - used to count up to 99 seconds, for how long you want/need to blend something. * Pulse - for when you want to blend in short spurts, possibly for consistency purposes instead of a full/fine blend. Now if you've any other blender before this is gonna be easy-peasy, but for those that haven't you can follow along in the user manual. Now as I stated before, I've used this blender primarily over the last week to whip up those morning smoothies/shakes before I rush out the door. But this blender can and will handle anything you can throw at it - and with ease. Over the last couple of years when making cakes, pies, brownies etc., we've been tossing the ingredients directly into a blender. I tried it with my favorite Pecan Pie recipe the other night and it was so easy and the pie came out better this way. The best part is that after you're done, everything cleans up in breeze, just put it in your dishwasher (sans the base) and you're good to go for your next mixed concoction.

I really wanted a new blender because the one i hot wasn’t wokring but when i got home nothing work in the blender.

If you hate to wait for your morning smoothie and want to make sure it is a smoothie, not a chunky, this is the blender for you. Toss a fist full of leafy greens, a few spices, and a peeled apple into this machine, turn it on low for a few seconds, then a couple of pulses for good measure, and your breakfast will be ready to eat. Crush ice? No problem. How about nut butter? Yep, before you can make your toast. This is one powerful machine with a 3.5 HP motor - yes, 3.5 HP motor - that will power through just about anything you would ever want to chop or blend. In case you get carried away, there is a automatic resetting, built in thermal overload that will stop the motor should it get too warm. The simple and straight forward controls consist of a power on/off switch located on the side of the base that will activate the digital timer/pulse counter, an off/low/high continuous operations switch, and a pulse switch. The digital timer/pulse count display is situated between the front mounted operating switches. The blending container holds 64 oz. and is BPA-free. The inside corners of the blending container are angled in toward the center to direct material into the stainless steel blades. Properly installed, it is unlikely any liquid will get past the rubberized lid which has 3 layers of gasket like ridges to seal it in place. There is a removable, 1.5 oz. measuring cup in the center of the lid. One important consideration - since this is a professional grade product it comes with 31", heavy duty electric cord with a three prong plug. If you have an older kitchen with ungrounded, 2 prong outlets, this is likely not the the blender for you. But, if you have a newer kitchen or you have upgraded your electrical system and want a powerful blender, the Bella Pro - Precision Max Performance Blender could be just what you were looking for. Finally, should something go wrong with the blender, it comes with a 2 year warranty.

First used stop at the middle of making a sauce and didn’t work anymore I think the brand is bad

The blender is well made, sturdy and stylish black with stainless steel blades that seem like they will go through anything. The motor is commercial grade with a 3.5 HP motor, meaning this is one powerful blender. This blender crushes ice like no other blender I have owned. The 64 ounce blending jar is made of BPA-free plastic and the lid is also plastic with rubber seals to keep things where they belong, in the blending jar. The clear center piece on the top of the lid where you can add in things doubles as a 1.5 ounce measuring cup, which is very handy when making frozen cocktails. The controls are simple and easy to understand. There are two toggle switches on the front panel. The one on the left is for off, low and high speed blending. The right side is to pulse anything you are blending. Between the two toggle switches is a timer to let you know how long you have been blending your ingredients. The timer is a definite must have for precision blending. If you find the exact amount of time it takes to blend something to your liking, just watching the timer on this makes it so much better than second guessing how long you have been blending for more consistency. I find a blender like this so much easier to use than one with all kinds of buttons and presets for making things. I have tried this out on a couple of different things. I have ground my coffee beans with ease, I made frozen margaritas and it blended through the ice like no other and it made easy work of my frozen fruit for smoothies in the morning. I highly recommend this blender for its ease of use and for its powerful blending capabilities and the timer is a definite plus for consistency.

The Bella Pro Series- Precision Max Performance Blender has a 3.5 commercial grade motor. There is a power switch on the side and 2 toggle switches on the front. The first toggle has a high and low setting. The low switch has performed every task I have used the blender for. The high setting seems much faster and stronger than blenders I have used in the past. The second toggle is a pulse switch that runs at the high speed only as long as the switch is held on. In between the two toggles is a led screen that shows the time that the blender is currently turned on. The literature states that the motor is powerful enough to make nut milk out of nuts and flour out of grains. Those are two things that are nice to know I could do but doubt that I will ever have the inclination. What I have done with it is make frozen drinks. This blender never slowed down or sounded strained (like my last blender) when making large batches of frozen beverages. I made a batch of gazpacho with veggies up to the last measurement line on the 64 oz blending jar. This blender made short work of my gazpacho. The only task that slowed the blender down was crushing ice filled to half of the blending jars capacity. Most of the ice was finely crushed/shaved with only a few large chunks left then the ice began to pack around the blades slowing the blender down. This blender seems much more powerful than my past blenders. It liquefied the veggies for gazpacho as easily as my food processer with a much easier clean up.

When I took the blender out of the box, I was amazed at how BIG it was! I mean, this blender is GINORMOUS!I really do not have the counter space for it but, what the heck! My very first run through it's paces was an easy one, a shake. I didn't add much but it whipped it up in no time flat! My next one, I just had an idea for frozen fruit and cream. I was thinking like a thick fruit and cream kinda desert. I sometimes take fruit and pour a bit of cream over them. Well, the frozen fruit froze the cream. This was like ice cream! Again the blending made fast work of it and I laughed at myself for being silly enough to use frozen fruit rather than refrigerated. Everything else I've attempted has just been very quick to whip up. The pulse action is really more than I've needed and cleanup is a breeze by adding water and a little dawn and running it again. Anyway did I mention how big this blender is? It makes me thing of a commercial blender for sure. and it's that powerful too! It is a square container and on the sides it has a bar that goes up the sides on all flat sides to make the blended concoction move in towards the blades. It's very well made and has the cap on top of the lid you can take off to add items while it's running. It holds a full 64 ounces! See! Ginormous! It even has a max fill line for cleaning so the bubbles don't blow the lid of. (That's my assumption.) I was thinking I was getting just another blender, but I was completely wrong on that thought. I absolutely would recommend this blender to anyone needing one.

This is not just a blender. Don't let it's look as a standard blender fool you,this blender is a beast. I have owned several blenders in the last 2 years because i make strawberry smoothies every day because i love them so much. But the type i make you have to blend up ice and as we all know ice can destroy a blender pretty quick because the amount of stress it puts on the motor. I bought a blender from a store one time in a pinch because the one i had dies. So the $25 dollar one i i got opened it up and on the second smoothie i made the motor died. So don't think you can just spend as little as possible on a blender and get the same quality. Another feature i love about this blender is it has what is called a vortex type main holder so as you blend something up it basically pulls all the product you are blending into the center so it all gets blended up. Nothing worse than blending something and all the chunks you can end up with and with this blender you get a great blended item. This blender is super easy to pull apart and clean and it's dishwasher safe,the actual blades are super sharp and are designed to also help pull food or what ever you are blending up towards the center of the main cup. It has several selections for speed,but most important is the build quality. You can look at this blender lasting you a very long time if not the last blender you will ever need to buy.

High powered, easy to wash. It gets the job done. One of the best I’ve had

I am impressed with this blender. I just made a smoothie with frozen fruit and the stainless steel blades crushed them with little effort. I like the 3.5 HP motor and the toggle switch is a plus. It has a large capacity (64 oz.) blending jar. The removable parts are dishwasher safe and it is so easy to clean. You will not be disappointed with this product!

The packaging for the blender is pretty good and kept the blender very safe during transportation. The blender itself is actually really well made. I really like its functions and how well built the actual blender itself is. The base is made out of plastic which does reduce the quality feel just a bit but it does not make it a lesser product but it does take a star off. The smoothies I created with this blender is smooth. The blades are well crafted and sharp. There are a few settings that you can use for it such as high speed and low speed or you can do an intermittent blend too. The design of the blender is good with its black color and it fits in nicely with the rest of my appliances and other utensils. Size wise, it's about as large as other blenders I've used before. Storage seems reasonable. You can also use it to cut up vegetables and possibly other ingredients for cooking. Overall, this is a very solid built blender and it does the work pretty well and a bargain for the price of it.

The Bella Pro Series is a simple to use and powerful blender. While it is for consumer use, Bella was serious when they named this blender pro. The Base: The construction and feel of the base are very well made. It looks like it should be in a smoothie or coffee shop. This blending beast is powered by a 3.5 HP. That is surely enough power to blend even the thickest of substances. The base has 4 thick rubber feet to prevent vibration on the surface it is on. There is also a rubber removable insert between the base and the containers this helps soften the vibration and also allows for easy clean up if you encounter a spill. Two simple switches for operation in front of the base and a power switch on the side. The left switch is for constant operation with off, low and high settings. This switch will constantly power the blender until you switch it off. The right button is for pulse and requires the user to constantly press the switch up to apply continued operation. The red power button is on the right side panel wrapped in a clear plastic casing to prevent water from entering the base. There is simple double digit screen in the middle which tells the user how many seconds the blender is running (up to 99 sec). The Container: The 64 oz container is great and perfectly sized for your blending needs. It comes with a stainless steel blade, rubber/plastic lid, and the top of the lid has a removable cup with measuring lines. I love the container as it is so easy to clean and so is the lid. There’s even a line on the container marking how much water to fill for cleaning and if you read the directions it recommends only one drop of dish soap and turning it on. You can also just simply throw everything in the dishwasher except the base of course. Important note: The Bella Pro blender is super powerful and after placing the lid on the container and running it for the first time my milk shake almost exploded everywhere as the suction on the lid and motor is so strong air had no where to go but up. Simple fix, after installing the lid I twist the small plastic cup on the lid open (without removing the cup or my hand ), start the blender allowing air to slip out and then twist the cup shut. Sounds like a lot but its really not and its worth it for the blending and vortex power. There are really no safety options on this blender. You can remove the container and flip the switch and the motor will run. However, I don’t mind this as it makes things easy to use. Plus, if you do accidentally turn on the motor while the container is off you really can’t hurt anything as it turns in the middle but there is nothing to get hurt on.

I currently have a Ninja blender with too many knobs and controls. My biggest issue is that when I start up the smoothie cycle, it does some kind of on and off cycle six times before it starts actually blending. I prefer blending my smoothies in “sections” by adding ingredients one at a time between short cycles, but the Ninja’s whole startup process makes it impossible. So I wanted something that doesn’t think it’s smarter than I am and just blends when I tell it to blend. Right away, pulling the Bella out of the box, all components feel as sturdy and substantial as my Ninja. Both feel like they have durable motors due to the weight. If I had to compare, I’d say my Ninja has a hair more power but trying them side by side, it might be my imagination. They seem to blend the final product effectively the same, but my Ninja seems more “violent” if that makes sense. For usability, I prefer the Bella because I prefer the granular and manual control over my blending. If you want something that has programs and software holding your hand, get something else. If you want to pulverize your food, get this. It’s strong.
