Based on the testing results, and with a solid construction and consistent performance, we considered the Cuisinart CSB-15 to be the winner. Sporting a 300-watt motor, we found it to be pretty great at whole-food blends, like smoothies, puree soups, and emulsified sauces. Given its awkward design, however, activating it took some trial and error, but we eventually got the hang of it.
The KOIOS 4-in-1 is far better than any other low-priced blenders we’ve tested. We particularly loved its smooth operation, ease of use, and versatility, but it would still take some innovative features to defeat such higher-priced rivals, like the Cuisinart.
