What the testers found
Rated Highly Recommended by America's Test Kitchen, with the same blending score as the Breville (2.5 of 3) and full marks for controls, comfort and durability. "Its lightweight construction and comfortable grip made it a breeze to maneuver around any vessel." Its two speeds are two buttons you can work with one hand, and "It blended 25 smoothies in a row without breaking a sweat." It comes with a whisk and a blending jar but no chopper.
