UTALENT 5-In-1
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Mueller Ultra-Stick
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
Even though the Mueller Ultra-Stick garnered a higher rating than the UTALENT in our tests, we just couldn’t warm to it. Sporting a 500-watt motor, this blender comes in handy for small batches of soups, smoothies, or baby food, and its whisk attachment proved to be efficient in certain whisking tasks.
However, using it was a real pain. Like the UTALENT, the Mueller Ultra-Stick shook and sucked tightly to the beaker’s bottom when running at the highest speed, causing our hands to feel very tired. Its buttons also weren't comfortable to press, and this put it among the most frustrating blenders we’ve ever tested.
