There is no doubt that Vitamix has a fanatical status when it comes to mixers. It has dominated the blending trend for years, and proponents of nut milk and green smoothies swear that you can see and taste the difference every time-and that was before we even started using nut butters and curry pastes.

Therefore, when I had the opportunity to try Vitamix for myself, I thought, "Well, now is the best time to see if they meet the publicity." Many of us try to eat better and drink better during confinement, and I have never done so many blitzkriegs when I make soup at home.

In order to do this, I can't just make a cocktail quickly and make judgments (although the idea does come to my mind). No, on the contrary, I took three other mixers from various pockets on the market to compare and compare the results.

Just to make it interesting, I focus on very cheap markets and high-end cult projects. The task master is a green smoothie with plenty of kale (it is known to be difficult to smooth). The test is simple-if I mix the exact same items in each mixer, which one will come first... why?

The four persons on trial are:

Russell Hobbs Classic Blender, US$49 (as low as US$39): The 1.5-liter blender is equipped with a 700-watt motor and four blades, has a glass jug and two speeds, and can crush ice. This is a budget machine at a reasonable price.

NutriBullet, $59: Equipped with a 600-watt motor, six blades, and a 500 ml BPA-free plastic beaker, this is the baby in the set. It has won people's favor in a space-saving and fast and convenient way.

Breville Super Q Blender, $957: This 2,400-watt blender is fully functional, including technology to lock in nutrients and reduce oxidation when blending smoothies. It has more functions than what we have introduced here, but the green smoothie pulse option adds lightning-like time to you and changes the speed in the process. It is the most expensive, but it is also the most powerful and has the most versatile functions.

Vitamix A2300i, $945: The 1400 watt motor on this classic Vitamix blender provides you with instant power. It must be said that the design is simple and easy to use. The function is simple, but there is also a built-in digital timer and manual speed control. It combines simple technology and powerful functions.

We tested each with a handful of kale, half a banana, half an avocado, some pitted dates, and crunchy peanut butter, each with a glass of water to help them mix. We mix each for the same time, but there is no need to bother to scrape off the sides. We just want to see what the lightning-like results are and which one gets the best overall texture. This is a simple test.

NutriBullet is a surprise, it blends quickly, and there is almost no fuss. Blitz ended up not being as green as others, which may have something to do with the heat we feel it emits, but the texture is surprisingly good, and fans do like its compact size and efficiency. The downside is that you won't mix any soup in this little pocket rocket. As long as you like smoothies, this is a great gadget. Due to its size, it is also very easy to clean.

Russell Hobbs Classic earns points for bargaining. This is perfect if you want to quickly make weird soups and occasional cocktails for your family. Its size and ease of use are perfect, and its price point will definitely win people's favor. If you know that you will only focus on milkshakes and soups, it is an excellent beginner blender because the texture of the green smoothie is unsatisfactory. It is the roughest of the four smoothies, and it does leave some leafy chewy kale in the glass. It is also more difficult to clean due to the heavy glass and base attachment. But the price/performance ratio is still very good.

Breville makes the most vibrant smoothie. Although the price tag is there, it has many features to recommend, from soups to frozen desserts. If you know that you will make a lot of nut butter, nut milk, and everything you might make in a blender, then this is the machine of your choice. But this is the additional benefit of locking in nutrition through the deoxygenation function, which will win the favor of smoothie fans. It also creates a rich whipping consistency through a specific green smoothie function, which can provide a truly foamy smoothie. It is also easy to clean because it is light and wide, completely away from the base.

Our highly regarded blender Vitamix also surprised me. I have to say that in the blind test, yes, you can pick from a lineup. I was skeptical, but I checked several family members and they were as surprised as I was at the obvious texture differences. There is no doubt that Vitamix created the smoothest smoothie in this batch. In addition, the simplicity of the speed dial makes it a very user-friendly experience, and the kettle itself is very easy to clean, use, disassemble and replace. I went in with a bargaining chip, but it was a pleasant and powerful experience that fans claimed. Yes, it is also easy to clean, because the kettle is easy to remove from the electric base, and the kettle is light and easy to operate.

The advantage of the two more expensive blenders is that they can indeed withstand regular, continuous, punitive use and provide beautiful results. They are designed to really smooth out everything you might want to mix. The simplicity and consistent results of Vitamix are what fans love and continue to swear by.

result? If your blender is not only used for cocktails and soups, then yes, it is worth upgrading to a powerful motor and extra bells and whistles, because there is no doubt that the difference in texture is so obvious, thanks to the powerful motor and sturdy care Made of blades. It can then be simply boiled down to the degree to which you think you will use the various functions provided by each function.

Do you make a lot of crushed nut paste and complex curry paste? Or are you more likely to have a lovely smooth pumpkin soup on a cold night?

The simple answer to this pressing question is yes, Vitamix is ​​really as good as many of its fans claim-although I really don't think the difference will be so obvious.

The texture is impeccable, so much so that as a non-committed green smoothie drinker, I am going to drink my third one today, and I would never do it from a thicker experience. Maybe next time I will flash something more beautiful...
