As a high-priced blender, the Vitamix stands out from the crowd with its sturdy construction, multi-speed settings, and premium stainless steel finish. It’s among the few hand blenders on the market that can perform a wide variety of blending tasks, allowing you to explore new culinary possibilities. It’s even powerful enough to blend solid ingredients like frozen fruits, raw nuts, and whole ice cubes without too much effort.
In the opposite corner, the Muller Ultra-Stick stands out for its false advertising claims. We were very disappointed with itsflimsy blade housing and the copper motor that cannot withstand continuous use.
The only advantages the Muller has over the Vitamix are its lighter weight and inexpensive price tag.
