What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Midpriced Blender, rated Highly Recommended (the Super Q was Recommended). It "makes smoothies and almond butter that are just a touch less fine-textured than our top choice’s but still impressively smooth" (ATK's top choice is the Vitamix 5200), and "It’s reasonably quiet and compact." TechRadar gave it 4.5 stars, the same as the Super Q: "This blender aced every task we gave it." Its jar is smaller (50 vs 68 oz), its base is plastic rather than stainless steel, and its warranty is 3 years against the Super Q's 7.
