All-Clad Corded vs. Vitamix 5-Speed Side-by-Side Comparison
All-Clad Corded vs. Vitamix 5-Speed comparison. These two immersion blenders share a lot of similarities but are not without their differences.
All Clad Corded
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Vitamix Immersion Blender
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
Both are high-end machines sporting astonishing amounts of power, but only the Vitamix 5-Speed is among our top-rated immersion blenders. The All-Clad is held back by its low versatility and mediocre capability of pureéing soup.
It’s difficult to find a well-rounded device like the Vitamix 5-Speed. Although it shares the same power ratings and build quality with the All-Clad, the Vitamix somehow beats it in every task. Compromises are few and mostly center on its slightly heavy weight, but of all the blenders we tested, the All-Clad is the heaviest so your Vitamix is more comfortable to use overall.
The Vitamix is also by far the better value considering its 3-year warranty package, which is more than what most immersion blenders, including the All-Clad, offer.
