Overall Verdict
In our tests, the extra whisk attachment that comes with the LINKchef gives this blender an edge over the Vitamix in aeration tasks. However, the Vitamix's ability to handle tougher blending tasks does balance the scales. Indeed, the Vitamix's power and efficiency are notably evident in tasks that demand a heavy-duty motor, such as creating restaurant-quality purees and processing dense, frozen ingredients for smoothies.
In contrast, the LINKchef is best suited for basic kitchen tasks like pureeing soft vegetables, tackling fresh fruits, emulsifying sauces, and whisking eggs. Its struggle with frozen fruits in smoothie preparation also reveals a motor that is less capable compared to its counterpart.
Design-wise, the Vitamix boasts a high-quality stainless steel build, which imparts a professional feel and ensures top-notch durability. Meanwhile, the LINKchef leans more towards mid-level quality, with a construction that is more prone to wear. Its ergonomic handle design and lightweight provide comfort, but they don't fully compensate for the challenges posed by its strong suction and motor vibrations during operation, unlike the Vitamix.
