Our Verdict

Breville the Fresh & Furious

Calphalon ActiveSense

The Breville the Fresh & Furious is better than the Calphalon ActiveSense for most purposes. It's sturdier and has a better blending performance, so it can make silkier smoothies with fibrous fruits and vegetables. It's also much easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter. However, you might prefer the Calphalon because it has a bigger 64oz capacity in its main jar and comes with a personal jar and to-go lid for single-serve smoothies.
