bella PRO - MasterBlend 3-in-1 Prep System with Blender, Personal Blender & Food Processor - Black Wash

Tested the Master Blend 3-in-1 Prep Blender by bella PRO. Assembling the product was easy. First tested the smoothie option by blending strawberries, pineapple, celery, chia seeds, ginger, and organic cinnamon, along with ice and a little bit of water. When powering on the blender, for me it took a bit to understand, as I have used different styles. Please remember to first press the on button first, followed by the selection of whether you want a smooth/blend, want to chop, pulse, etc. then be sure to turn the dial to the low, high, or pulse option. With the first smoothie I used the low pulse option and it worked out well. The smoothie was crisp and my family loved it. I then used the bello pro to chop carrots, blend bananas, a kale blended saladed, along with ginger root, cinnamon, ice, and used the chop feature, followed by the crushed ice feature, and then turned it into a smoothie blend. This time around I noticed a different texture which in my opinion is useful for making baby food, or even for adults who have trouble chewing on certain foods. The drink came out very well. In addition to this I made another smoother, as that what my family loves. This smoothie included: Pineapple, Bananas, crushed ice, cinnamon, and a salad mix. I think it was by far one of my favorites. In addition to this we were able to chop veggies and you can make salsa, or different types of dips to your liking. Overall would recommend this product and was pleasantly suprised. PROS: 1) The speed is great. 2) Clean blend. 3) Can crush ice and harder textures very well CONS: 1) Cannot think of any at this time. Glad I had the chance to test this product. Thank you!

I’m an avid home cook who loves cooking from scratch. Having kids, work, and extra curriculars, I’m always adding gadgets to help me make life simpler. The bella Pro has blown me away with MasterBlend this 3-in-1 system. I was not too familiar with this brand, but it has definitely caught my attention after using this blender/processor set. First Impression (Don’t Judge ‘til You Try) I will admit that as I was washing all washable components before first use my first impression was doubt. The processing and dough blade are made with such thin plastic that they almost feel toy-like, the gaskets are the thinnest I have seen thus far on any kitchen gadget, and the hardware screws have a metal/plastic appearance. Having had a recent disappointment with a processors, I was worried. Lasting Impression My first impression was quickly proven wrong upon first use though. It did a fantastic job of shredding cabbage for my soup. The next day, I used it to puree several salsas, and they were the best I have made thus far texture-wise, not too watery, not too chunky, just the right consistency. I made a mocha frappé and the ice was cut and blended into a light frothiness. I blended up a frozen fruit smoothy it was so silky smooth, almost like frozen yogurt, with no chunks left behind. Same with guac, it processed to silky smooth perfection. I grated carrots and sliced vegetables, and it only left behind the smallest nub ungated, everything was symmetrical in size and clean cut. I made biscuit dough in a flash and the dough was well mixed without overheating it. It really reminded me not to be so quick to judge because companies are constantly refining the materials they use and bella Pro really packed a punch in every aspect with this machine. Their 1200-watt motor is no joke. Safety in Mind The blades are designed with a long stem that makes it easier to handle and avoid injury., while the slicing/grating disc has notches that makes grabbing it easier. I was unaware of this at first and struggled to handle it during my first use, I ended up slicing my finger with the blade. Please learn from my user error and find the very handy and well-placed finger-notches bella Pro provided. The Processor As I mentioned before, the processor is incredibly efficient and useful to make just about anything. It holds up to five cups, cleans up easily, and really helps shorten food prep time. I still need a larger processor for certain things, like holiday meals, but for simple everyday needs, this is perfect because of how easy it is to set-up, use, clean, and store. Plus, having one base for everything reduces counter clutter. The food pusher doubles as a measuring cup, but I miss the small hole most processors include that helps liquid slowly get added during processing. Blender The blender uses a 6-pointed stainless steel blade that cuts through ice and frozen food amazingly. There is not a single chunk of anything frozen that is left unblended. My smoothies have never been more decadent. The blending jar holds 64oz and it has a suction lid that has several rubber folds to help keep it from popping off. It can be hard to put on and take on at times due to this, but it is best to be safe that sorry. It does not come with a chute pusher, which I am accustomed to using, but it hasn’t been an issue as it comes with programming and a blade that ensures thorough blending. “Personal” Blending The personal blender cup holds 24oz. I find it great to make a smoothy or frappe for two, but it is much too large and clunky for me to take it anywhere with me. It comes with a lid and for me, this is mostly useful to store what’s leftover in the fridge because I just find it difficult to hold and inconvenient. I wish this was slightly smaller, but again, it is great for blending up small batches. Base The base has a 1200W motor encased in a simple and unique design. It has a modern retro look to it with both a knob and touch buttons. It has the option to turn it on and just use the knob to determine power or use a preset like chop, dough, ice crush, or smoothy/clean. The presets work exceptionally well at their task, using the right amount of power and pause to get the desired effect. For example, the chop stops and starts intermittently without over-pureeing the food being processed; meanwhile, the ice crush option goes full force and pauses just enough that when it starts back up the contents are flung into the air to adequately get a good blend without chunks of ice remaining at the end. It uses a double tap to ensure that the right preset has been set and you can tap again on the preset or power button to turn it off. The one drawback of this design is that after spillage, blended food can pool around the knob. While teh knob has basically no space in between it and the base for food to seep inside, the knob seems to get suck afterward food has been around it. I assume whatever tiny amount of food dries up around it causes this and I have to twist it hard to get it unstuck. Underneath the base is a nifty storage for the cord, I really like this as I can have the excess cord tuck in it with only the necessary amount to get to the plug remaining, thus reducing counter clutter. Cleaning One of the biggest downsides to cooking from scratch at home on a daily basis is cleanup. This bellaPro system helps so much in this aspect because everything cleans easily, and the blender even has quick clean feature. I love how easy it is to detach and clean everything, except one part, the base. The base is light in color, and it easily shows how dirty it gets. The notches that allow the processor and blender to lock get stuff leaked on them, and so far, I have not found a way to get them completely clean. Most of it cleans easily, with the exception of the lock notches. It is difficult to get in there and completely remove what has spilled. Overall I honestly have been loving the power, force, and efficiency this system provides so much that I have been going out of my way to make meals I usually avoid due to time consumption. Having a single base that does all of this has proven beyond helpful and made my meals more delicious because of how well it performs. While there a few drawbacks, the positives heavily outweigh them, and I would still recommend this to the avid from-scratch home cooks out there. Our time is as precious as our nutrition, and this helps with both.

This Bella Pro 3-in-1 system does a great job of combining frequently used functions into a compact and good looking package. It also fits under my cabinets even with the mixing pitches which is a positive and the looks are like a modern take on 60s appliances. I’d say this unit is best for 2 adults or a small family, as it’s not quite large enough to serve multiple people and it can’t process and hold as much food as larger units, but that’s OK, as long as you know you don’t need anything bigger. In terms of power, this unit has plenty. 1200w motor easily blends and emulsifies fruit, veggies and ice to give you fine blended smoothies with no big chunks. The food processor also slices then carrots and potatoes easily. Be sure to handle the cutting attachments carefully as they are sharp! My family really loves the ability to make smoothies with this blender. I let the kids pick what fruits they want to put in and a few minutes later we have a smoothie that tastes great and is much cheaper and healthier than some of the alternatives out there. The only negatives of this unit are that they use plastic all over. The body of the unit is plastic as are the mixing containers and pitchers. I wish they were glass maybe as I think these containers will drain and discolor over time.

The bella Pro MasterBlend 3-in1 Prep system combines a food processor, a blender, and a personal blender into one stylish unit! It has a 1200 watt motor for plenty of power whether it's crushing ice, mixing up your favorite smoothie, or frozen adult beverage. The motor is powerful, yet not too loud! Included in the box are the blender base, container, and blade, the personal blender bottle, and the food processor attachment and blades. It's large capacity holds up to 64 ounces yet the unit weighs only a little more than 11 pounds, making it both versatile and easy to store when not in use. It even has a special "cord-wrap" area built into the base to keep the cord out of the way when not in use. The base feels solid and doesn't move around when in use. The stainless steel blades blend and crush ingredients easily and are sensor-controlled to help detect those ingredients and blend smoothly. With seven speeds and four preset programs, it can easily tackle just about any kitchen food/beverage project. Easily chop vegetables, shred cheese, or even make dough - the possibilities are endless! Clean-up is super-easy as all of the of the parts (except the base) are easily removed and dishwasher safe. What a super-functional, countertop, kitchen appliance!

Love that this is 3 appliances in one. Takes up less space in kitchen cabinets

This Pro MasterBlender 3-in1 from Bella could be the perfect choice for small family or a single person. It is a complete kit with most of your daily needs blending and food processing. It has 2 different types of blenders: Smoothies and fruits and then a food processor. The design is really nice with good looking set. Nice design with both classic and innovative controls: You still have the knob for pulse, slow and fast for manually controlling the motor. Then, also you have the digital controls that allow you to select between: Chop, Dough, Ice Crush, and Smoothie/Clean. What I like about the digital control that you have to confirm your selection by clicking twice on the function selected. Another nice safety feature that the blender would turn off if you are taking longer time selecting the digital mode. To return to functions, you will have to click the ON/OFF once more and select the digital feature and then approve your selection by clicking it again. The motor box is big. They could have made it smaller. With that big size, the blender is very noisy when working. Something you may get used to but when compared with a different blenders, the noise seems a bit higher. That's my only complaint about it. Still, it is within what expected though. The blades are all stainless steel, very sharp. The blender multiple blades are not afraid crushing ice and just making the perfect smoothie. The kit's plastic is ok. It looks like it will last long with some small issues. The blender will work fine for small family/single person. It will really help make the perfect meals every time. The food processor is also coming with vegetable chopping disk. Very good! It also has an extension sleeve that can position the disk up or down depending on what vegetable you want to process. There is also a plastic blades for making dough. I've tried it! The motor adjusted fine for the power requirement to mix the dough but the speed is a bit higher than my requirement. Even at the lowest speed. It has a nice feature to prevent rotating the blade when the cover is removed. There is a pin in the cap that pushed on another rod inside the shaft that will make the blade engage with the motor's rotor. I'd recommend to be careful with it when cleaning... The smoothie mixer and the blender have very good capacity. I wish the food processor is slightly larger (more than 1.2L). Just my opinion. Pros: - Very good kit. Complete with all what you may need. - Digital control offering safety and useful features. - Sharp and high quality blades. Cons: - Small capacity of food processor's container. - Noisy motor. Powerful yes but making some serious noises. - Plastic, of the food processor set, could be better. In general... I'd recommend getting it since it provides you with most of what you need in your kitchen. It will help prepare the perfect meal every time. Not taking too much space in the kitchen and has a futuristic look. It is well priced (money value) and it comes with good warranty.

This is an amazing system. It’s a great combination of all I need to make meals regularly. I’ve actually been cooking a lot more fresh foods since I got this. The base is strong, powerful, and sturdy with simple controls on the front. It can also be loud depending on what I’m using it for. The controls make using this simple whether you use the blender, food processor or personal blender. It has a knob with three power levels: pulse, low, and high, that’s it. This made me wonder how well it would work and I was a bit nervous about it but it surprised me how well it all works together. We can choose ice crush, smoothie/clean, dough, or chop functions depending on if using the blenders or the food processor. It comes with all the attachments I needed, the regular blade and dough blade that is a plastic material, shredding disc, and covers. Be sure that the the blender or food processor is placed correctly on the base, otherwise, even though the power key lights up, it won’t work. I thought it wasn’t working at one point then realized I hadn’t engaged it properly. I wish I had taken pictures of all the food we used it for, but didn’t think of it until I made the dough. Also wish we had this over the summer, it would have been so much easier and quicker to make ice-cold frosty smoothies. I used the ice crush with lemonade and it was so good! The children and friends were over and called it lemonade slush. The ice crush is so powerful! Taking advantage of using it on these nice warm days. Also made smoothies with frozen fruits, so quick and easy. We used the food processor for cookies, pie crust, dough, herbs, fresh salsa, shredding cheddar and gouda cheese. This just makes life so much easier. It’s the only oat milk-colored equipment I have on my counter, so I was hesitant to get it since it doesn’t match the other items. But it is so worth it for the convenience it brings. I love that you can use the smoothie/clean to actually clean the container, which makes it easier to wash. And it’s top-rack dishwasher safe. I definitely recommend this.
