Mueller Ultra-Stick vs. All-Clad Corded Side-by-Side Comparison
How do the Muller Ultra-Stick and All-Clad measure up against each other? We answered this question by comparing their testing performance, along with other factors.
Mueller Ultra-Stick
Tested Using Methodology v1.0All Clad Corded
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
The All-Clad has a higher-powered motor so it blends solid foods more evenly than the Muller Ultra-Stick. Because it doesn’t come with extra blending attachments, however, it is unable to emulsify mayonnaise or beat eggs like the competition.
Design-wise, the Mueller Ultra-Stick is built to the price, with almost all features being of a fairly standard quality. The whole construction is mostly plastic so it is not the best choice if you want something with an elite level of firmness. On the contrary, as a premium model, the All-Clad is styled and equipped for people seeking an upscale and luxurious vibe. Its materials are top-notch and its look is very sleek.
Before you buy, however, note that it is pricey, and you can get more versatility from the Muller Ultra-Stick for less money.
