Our Verdict
Braun MultiQuick 5
Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion
The Braun MultiQuick 5 is better than the Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion. The Braun has a better build quality and makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, making it more suitable for pureed soups or fruit smoothies. It's quieter when running and comes with a beaker and whisk attachment for making whipped cream or salad dressing.
