The Chefman 6-in-1 is a fine blender for turning soft foods into a uniform combination. It's easy to use and reasonably simple. The included accessories are a big plus as well. There's not much personality to it both in terms of design and overall performance, but if you’re after something that works and is affordable, this blender is worth a look.

The Vitamix 5-speed is in sharp contrast with the Chefman 6-in-1. It’s pricey, heavy-duty, and packed with plenty of standout features. Its warranty is great too, as you'd probably expect of such a premium car. 

Sporting a higher-powered motor, it outperformed the Chefman 6-in-1 in blending frozen fruits, pureeing veggies, and grinding soaked nuts. Its blending wand couldn’t beat eggs, but when it came to making mayonnaise, the outcome was comparable to that of using a whisk attachment.

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.
  • A great tool for recipes that involve fibrous or frozen food
  • 4-pronged heavy-duty blade promotes speedy blends and consistent results
  • Intuitive interface makes it easy to switch between speed settings
  • Ergonomically-designed handle offers a secure grip
  • Blade Guard prevents scratching 
  • Stainless steel body ensures optimal durability
  • The metal blending shaft and whisk damaged our cookware’s surface.
  • Expensive
  • Relatively heavy
  • There aren’t any extra accessories included
