Our Verdict

KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender

Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion

The KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender is a better blender than the Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion for most uses. The KitchenAid makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. It's much quieter when running and comes with a jar you can use for blending. However, the Vitamix has a much better build quality.
