Rocket Blender 6-Piece 35125

BELLA Rocket Blender 35125

The BELLA Rocket Blender 6-Piece is a compact personal blender designed for processing ingredients in individual blending cups. It includes two 13.5-ounce cups, a removable blade collar, a motor base, a storage lid, and a To-Go lid for carrying prepared drinks.

The blender uses a twist-to-operate mechanism instead of a separate power button. A filled cup with the blade collar attached is inverted and placed on the motor base. Turning the cup clockwise to the ON position activates blending, while turning it counterclockwise to OFF stops the motor.

The blender is intended for household food preparation. Ingredients should be cut into pieces no larger than approximately 1 inch for best results. The motor must not run continuously for more than one minute and must rest for three minutes before further use.

Important: The Rocket Blender is not an ice crusher. When processing ice or solidly frozen food, at least one cup of liquid must be added first. Hot liquids must never be blended because excessive pressure inside the container can cause thermal burns.

Product Overview and Technical Specifications

The BELLA Rocket Blender is a six-piece personal blending system for preparing drinks and processing suitable food ingredients. Its compact motor base works with either of the two included processing cups.

The cups can be used for blending and then fitted with the To-Go lid or storage lid. The storage lid allows prepared drinks to be kept in the refrigerator.

Main Features

The Rocket Blender includes the following features:

• Two 13.5-ounce blending cups: Allow ingredients to be processed in individual servings.
• Twist-to-operate control: Starts and stops blending by rotating the assembled cup between ON and OFF positions.
• Removable blade collar: Attaches directly to either processing cup.
• Plastic gasket seal: Helps create an airtight connection between the blade collar and cup.
• To-Go lid: Allows prepared drinks to be carried in the blending cup.
• Storage lid: Covers drinks for refrigerator storage.
• Top-rack dishwasher-safe components: The processing blade, cups, and lids can be washed in the upper dishwasher rack.
• Compact accessory storage: The cups and lids can be stacked, and the electrical cord wraps around the base.

What’s Included in the Box

The BELLA Rocket Blender comes with six components.

All components should be inspected after unpacking to confirm that they are present and in good condition.

Parts and Components

The blender consists of a motor housing, processing cups, blade collar, and interchangeable lids.

Motor Housing

The motor housing contains the electrical motor and supports the cup-and-blade assembly during operation.

The top of the housing includes ON and OFF alignment markings.

The motor starts when the assembled cup is turned clockwise until the blade collar’s arrow aligns with ON.

The motor stops when the assembly is rotated counterclockwise to OFF.

Warning: The motor housing must never be immersed in water or another liquid.

Processing Cups

Two tall processing cups are included, each with a capacity of 13.5 ounces.

The cups are used to hold ingredients during blending and can also be fitted with the To-Go or storage lid after processing.

Each cup has a marked maximum fill line.

Do not add ingredients beyond the MAX marking.

Important: Never operate the blender with an empty processing cup or use a cup that is cracked or chipped.

Blade Collar and Processing Blades

The blade collar contains the blades used to process ingredients.

It is installed directly onto the processing cup before the cup is placed on the motor housing.

The blades are extremely sharp and must be handled only by the blade collar.

Never attach the blade collar to the motor base without a processing cup properly installed.

Gasket Seal

A plastic gasket seal is fitted inside the base of the blade collar.

The gasket creates an airtight connection between the cup and blade assembly.

Before each use, check that the gasket is properly seated.

The heat generated by some dishwashers may loosen the gasket, so its position must also be checked after dishwasher cleaning.

To-Go Lid

The To-Go lid attaches to a processing cup after the blade collar has been removed.

It allows a prepared drink to be carried in the same cup used for blending.

Storage Lid

The storage lid covers a processing cup containing a prepared drink.

It is intended for keeping drinks in the refrigerator until they are needed.

ON/OFF Controls and Alignment Markings

The BELLA Rocket Blender uses a mechanical twist-to-operate control system.

It does not require separate control buttons for starting and stopping normal blending.

The blade collar and motor housing include alignment arrows marked with ON and OFF positions.

How to Turn the Blender On

1. Assemble the processing cup and blade collar securely.
2. Invert the assembled cup.
3. Insert the blade collar into the motor housing with its arrow aligned with OFF.
4. Rotate the processing cup clockwise.
5. Continue until the blade collar arrow aligns with ON.

The motor begins processing when the cup reaches the ON position.

How to Turn the Blender Off

1. Hold the assembled processing cup.
2. Rotate it counterclockwise.
3. Align the blade collar arrow with OFF.
4. Confirm that the motor has stopped.
5. Lift the cup-and-blade assembly from the motor base.
