KOIOS 4-In-1 vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 Side-by-Side Comparison
KOIOS 4-in-1 vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1. We compare these immersion blenders in terms of efficiency, features, and specifications.
Specifications
Design
Nothing is particularly unique in the KOIOS 4-in-1’s design, but common features like the stainless steel blades and control buttons are built well enough to make the blender itself stand out.
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.
Usability
Despite utilizing the same key design features as other low-range blenders such as the Muller Ultra-Stick, the KOIOS 4-in-1 manages to provide a better blending experience.
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.
Performance
The KOIOS 4-in-1 wasn’t designed for powerful performance, but it passed all of our tests without much difficulty. As you might assume, a low-range hand blender won’t churn out velvety results, but all the blends were definitely better than we expected.
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 ergonomically-designed handle provides a comfortable grip.

Conclusion
The two are basic, mid-range immersion blenders. In our efficiency testing, however, the KOIOS 4-in-1 outperformed the other. Compared with the Chefman 6-in-1, it blended frozen fruits faster and produced more silky pureé. It also ground nuts more evenly, churning out a serving of milk that was apparently richer in almond flavor.
Design-wise, they are pretty evenly matched, with reliable build quality for daily use. Still, we mostly agree the KOIOS 4-in-1 looks more catchy. Its design also allows the motor to run smoothly and is more comfortable to use on tough blends. In conclusion, if you have to choose between these models, we’d like to recommend the KOIOS 4-in-1 over the Chefman 6-in-1.
