Our Verdict
Vitamix A3500
Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance
The Vitamix A3500 is better than the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance. The two blenders perform similarly, but the Vitamix makes better-blended nut butter and crushed ice with a more uniform texture. Some may also prefer it because it has a digital blending time indicator and a programmable timer. The Wolf has dull-edged blades that make it easier to clean by hand. It also comes with an 'Emulsion Cup' that fits into the lid and helps with adding liquid gradually.
