Smoothie Blenders in Comparison

The Vitamix E310 is the inexpensive entry into the Vitamix world and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of its application possibilities. The container is compact and handy, handling is very simple. The E310 enjoys a lot of sympathy in our team, because it is reduced to the most important features and got rid of all comfort features in favor of an attractive price. All this with the usual performance and workmanship of Vitamix.

The Vitamix TNC 5200 is the absolute classic among high-performance blenders. It has proven itself over many years and is regularly used in the catering industry as well as by many nutrition experts. With 250 km/h under load, it ranked 3rd, behind the newer Vitamix models Pro 300 and Pro 750, in our speed test. For us, this means it achieves the perfect balance between being a pure smoothie blender and an all-purpose blender. In terms of versatility, no blender can beat it. The price/performance ratio of the TNC 5200 is very good, if you use the blender for a variety of purposes and love creamy smoothies.

After all, you can not only blend with the Vitamix TNC 5200, but much more: chop, grind, puree, make ice. The included container is already fully equipped. Due to the narrow shape, small and large portions can both be prepared easily.

The TNC 5200 is a high-quality device that is absolutely robust and reliable in use. This is also reflected in the 7-year warranty, which includes the container and all parts.

The manual operation works intuitively and steplessly. Due to its low initial speed, even the preparation of coarse pesto succeeds without any problems.

In any case, the Vitamix TNC 5200 is an excellent choice for long-lasting blending pleasure that convinces with intuitive usability, versatility and robustness.

The Vitamix Pro 750 holds the speed record in our test. It reaches about 300 km/h under load, which you can taste especially in green smoothies. No other blender, we have tested, is capable of making raspberry seeds so fine. The Pro 750 is the è"Crème de la Crème"è. One reason for that: vegan soups become so creamy - you could swear cream was added.

It also holds the record when it comes to the noise level. It is the quietest Vitamix.

In addition, it has 5 very thought through time programs, including a cleaning program. The blender's workmanship meets the highest standards and pleases haptically and visually. The heart of the blender, the container, enables convenient filling, blending without a tamper, and quick cleaning. Thanks to its low profile and wide opening, Sinks that are not particularly deep are not a problem either.

The total package is rounded off by the 7-year Vitamix full warranty, which also includes parts such as the container.

The best of the latest at a "minimal" price. The A2300i/A2500i is for discerning users who can live with the high minimum preparation portions.
4 color variants make sure that every taste is met. In terms of features, the A2300i/A2500i offers almost as much as the deluxe model A3500i. The stainless steel cladding, the handling via touch buttons and an endless dial have been omitted. Those who are always looking for a good deal and appreciate haptic feedback of toggle switches and rotary dials will enjoy the A2300i/A2500i even more.

Unfortunately, the 1.4-liter container is not available in Europe, which is why we prefer to recommend the Vitamix TNC 5200 or Pro 750. (As of 12/2021)

The Vitamix A3500i is Vitamix's ambitious attempt to integrate blending into the digital world. It comes with innovative improvements that are new to the industry. The blender can only be activated when the container lid is closed. Containers are dishwasher safe. 10-year warranty means a maximum of € 90 per year usage cost. In daily use, the cost is also quickly reached with the regular wear and tear of mid-range blenders. With the Vitamix service we know from experience: You can rely on it! However, the technical innovations also come at a price: no more haptic feedback due to the touch panel. That is not everyone's cup of tea, even if the touch panel responds quickly and reliably.

Unfortunately, the "1.4-liter container", which we consider the most important additional container, is not available, which is why we currently recommend the Vitamix Pro 750 (as of 12/2021).

The Wartmann blender is very easy to handle, can work with portions between 250 ml and 2 liters (Standard) or 1.4 liters (Compact), it also delivers excellent blending results. The overall package is even more impressive when you take a closer look: At under 1 kg, the container is very light. The reason for that is the comparatively thin material, which also allows the heat to evade. Smoothies stay cool during the blending process, hardly any other blender keeps smoothies cool for such a long time. The lid is easy to close and locks into place. A lot of attention to detail, we would have guessed the Wartmann to be priced over €400...

In technical terms, the Primo S leaves a very strong impression. Its large blade diameter puts it in first place among the Bianco di Puro blenders in our speed test with 248 km/h and thus closes the gap to the Vitamix models in terms of performance for green smoothies.

Additional advantage: The lowest speed level starts at 1,500 revolutions. This level is great for starting the blending processes slowly when desired. Especially for chunky preparations, such as ice cream, pestos, dips and hummus, which can be easily prepared with the optionally available Uno container, low speed is optimal.

What's more, the Primo S is significantly smaller in height than most high-performance blenders. Therefore, it fits easily under any wall cabinet.

The Primo S is a high-performance blender that meets all the expectations that can be placed on a smoothie blender of this class. And it does so at an excellent price. For the first time, the Primo S is a compact and affordable high-performance blender that we can recommend without reservation!

The Bianco di Puro Attivo - the slimmest high speed blender in our store. It takes up relatively little space and can be easily stowed when needed. 4 color variations and Bianco-di-Puro-typical appearance make it hard to stow him away, though smaller kitchens will be grateful. In terms of performance the Attivo can't quite come up to its big brother "Originale". If you are particularly keen on creaminess, you can achieve a similarly fine consistency by blending for 2 minutes in the 1-liter container. However, a longer blending time will lead to a slight rise of temperature, which can be counteracted by replacing water with ice cubes.

Unlike the larger models, the Bianco di Puro Attivo requires the blade base to be unscrewed for cleaning after each blending process. This prevents anything from sticking to the thread. The blade base can be cleaned very easily, therefore the Attivo is unbeatable in the overall package.

The Volto N offers a good overall concept. The motor is state of the art with intelligent speed control. The container has proven itself over years already on other models from Bianco and the handling is clear and intuitive. Optionally, the Volto N can be supplemented with the Tri-Set or the Uno container to produce even smaller quantities, such as fresh dips, salsas, sauces or dressings.

The Bianco Gusto convinces in many respects: It comes with 2 containers to enable a maximum of preparations. The operating volume is comparatively quiet, even without a clunky acoustic hood. In addition, the durable DC brushless motor convinces with its low-wear technology, which is also expressed in the long warranty period. Last but not least, the touch panel is both pleasant to use and easy to clean. An all-around premium mixer!
