Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 vs. UTALENT 5-In-1 Side-by-Side Comparison
Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 vs. UTALENT 5-in-1. Here’s our detailed comparison of specs, features, and efficiency between these two immersion blenders.
Specifications
Design
The Chefman 6-in-1 has a hard plastic body, giving it a light, balanced weight. All the parts are designed well for the price, but they don't look really opulent. They have much in common with other blenders in this price range, so nothing in particular makes this one stand out.
At first, we were mightily impressed with the blending shaft's unique design, but its disappointing testing results then diminished our excitement. Sure enough, the UTALENT’s distinctive design doesn’t make it any more effective or easier to use.
Usability
The balanced weight and simple controls make this blender a breeze to use, and its ergonomically-designed handle means that it’ll fit comfortably in your palm. Sometimes it’s difficult to maneuver, though, since it can create quite a bit of suction at the bottom of the container.
As mentioned above, the UTALENT is quite complicated to use and cannot ensure smooth operation. More to the point, it lacks a few nice features that we like about some other more user-friendly models.
Performance
The Chefman 6-in-1 worked great for beating eggs and emulsifying mayonnaise. We wish we could say the same when it came to preparing frozen fruit smoothies, puréeing leafy greens, and grinding nuts; it was very mediocre in those tests. For a broader spectrum of blending tasks, we recommend considering other higher-powered blenders.
The UTALENT didn’t perform as well as other blenders we’ve tested. Although it includes all the standard features of a decent hand blender, it still couldn’t blend evenly or cleanly. It is also worth noting that during our testing, we encountered a great deal of frustration with its operation.
Overall Scores
Pros & Cons
- It can blend frozen fruits, chop vegetables, emulsify sauces, and beat eggs.
- The motor runs quietly.
- Its accessory package includes many helpful pieces.
- The ergonomically-designed handle provides a comfortable grip.
- It’s inexpensive.
- Its milk frother can make milk foam.
- We got extra blending tools in one set.
- All the attachments are dishwasher safe.
- The metal blending shaft and whisk damaged our cookware’s surface.
- It works inconsistently.
- The motor power is low rating.
- It isn’t effective at blending solid foods.
Conclusion
These models are both average immersion blenders lacking the power for heavy blending performance. Other than coming with an accessory package, they don’t have much to impress us.
Their blending shafts aren’t the best for producing a silky combination of ingredients like frozen fruits, raw nuts, or leafy veggies. The mayonnaise and beaten eggs they deliver may be better than you’d expect, but these capabilities are advantages of nearly all the immersion blenders coming with the whisk attachment.
Nonetheless, if you want a little more refinement and better comfort, we recommend the Chefman 6-in-1. Due to the motor’s violent vibration, we couldn’t maneuver the UTALENT 5-in-1 comfortably.
