What the testers found
The closest thing to a Vitamix dupe: America's Test Kitchen says it "looks like a near-duplicate of our favorite model," and its tall, narrow jar made smoothies "that rivaled those made in our favorite models." Rated Recommended, not a top pick: its low and high speeds were so similar that mayo took two attempts, and almonds got stuck under its blades, needing frequent help from the tamper and a spatula.
