The verdict
The Bajaj Rex is a 500 W mixer grinder with three stainless-steel jars, about ₹2,199 on Flipkart, with 4.2 stars from more than 3.77 lakh ratings. It suits small households grinding chutney and masala on a tight budget; the catch is a 1-year warranty, noise and a 500 W motor for heavy batter.
Best for
- Couples, students and small families who want a known brand under ₹2,500
- Daily chutney, masala and small batches of batter
Skip it if
- You grind large batches of idli or dosa batter several times a week; look at 750 W or more
- You want a long warranty; Bajaj lists 1 year on the product
What we like
- About ₹2,199 on Flipkart for a branded 3-jar mixer grinder
- 4.2 stars from 3,77,310 Flipkart ratings, the largest owner base we found in any mixer
- Three stainless-steel jars: 1.2 L wet, 0.8 L dry and 0.4 L chutney (Bajaj)
- Made in India (Baddi, Himachal Pradesh) by a Bajaj contract manufacturer
What we don’t
- Only a 1-year product warranty, shorter than Crompton's DS 500 at the same price
- Owners frequently mention noise, and some say lids are loose enough to spill when running
- 500 W is light for heavy batter work
- Ratings may be pooled across Rex versions and even other Bajaj models, judging by review text

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this mixer grinder. Specs, jar sizes and warranty come from Bajaj Electricals’ Rex 500W page, and price and ratings from the Flipkart listing and its reviews, read on 12 November 2026. We found no hands-on review from an independent publication.
We could not verify noise, grinding fineness or motor speed, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. Bajaj does not publish an RPM figure for the Rex. Bajaj’s page shows “Customers rate us 4.8/5 based on 61 reviews”, but the reviews under it include a trimmer, so that is a store-wide widget, not a Rex rating.
What you get on paper
A 500 W motor and three stainless-steel jars: 1.2 L for wet grinding, 0.8 L for dry grinding and 0.4 L for chutney, each with its own lid. The current version on Bajaj’s site and Flipkart is black with an orange knob and base, model 410674. Older white Rex units are still referenced by resellers, and listings mix the two.
What owners report
The Rex is everywhere. Flipkart shows 4.2 stars from 3,77,310 ratings and 39,526 reviews: 2,14,167 five-star and 22,869 one-star (about 6%). With that many ratings the average is stable, but the review text suggests some are pooled: one five-star review praises the “highest selling Mixer Grinder model GX1”, a different Bajaj model.
The reviews shown are short. One owner lists “powerful motor but noisy, sharp blades, one meter cord, three jars with lids”. Another says the jar steel feels thinner than expected. On a separate, smaller Flipkart Rex listing, an owner says it makes “so much noise”, the big jar’s lid is not tight enough to stop spills and the blades are poor for dry grinding.
Support and warranty
Bajaj lists 1 year on the product. That is the shortest warranty among the budget mixers we looked at: Crompton’s DS 500 lists 2 years on product and motor for a similar price. Flipkart directs warranty claims to a Bajaj authorised service centre. We did not check service-centre coverage or response times ourselves.
Claims to treat with caution
- The 4.8/5 rating on Bajaj’s page is store-wide, as above.
- MRP of ₹4,190 is shown as Bajaj’s site price; real selling prices are about half that.
- “Ideal for daily grinding and blending” is Bajaj’s wording. Nothing on the page claims heavy-duty use.
Should you buy it?
The Rex is a sensible, cheap first mixer for a small household, and almost no other mixer has this much owner feedback behind it. But at the same price the Crompton DS 500 lists double the warranty, so check both on the day you buy. If you grind batter in bulk, spend more on a 750 W or 900 W model.

Questions buyers ask
What is the warranty on the Bajaj Rex 500W?
Bajaj's product page lists a 1-year product warranty, and the Flipkart description says the same. Flipkart asks buyers to contact a Bajaj authorised service centre for claims.
Is 500 W enough for idli and dosa batter?
For small batches, owners say yes. We have not tested it. If you grind batter for four or more people several times a week, a 750 W or 900 W mixer with a bigger wet jar is the safer choice.
What is the difference between the Bajaj Rex and Bajaj GX-1?
On Bajaj's own pages they look very similar: both are 500 W with 1.2 L, 0.8 L and 0.4 L steel jars and a 1-year product warranty. The GX-1 page also mentions a 2-in-1 blade in the dry jar. Buy whichever is cheaper on the day.
Why does Bajaj's website price look so high?
Bajaj's site showed ₹4,190, which is the same as the MRP on Flipkart, where it sold for ₹2,199 on 12 November 2026.
