Our Verdict

Breville the Super Q BBL920

Vitamix Ascent X2

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is a bit better than the Vitamix Ascent X2. Its metal motor body gives it a better build quality overall, and it comes with a 24oz personal jar in addition to its 68oz main pitcher. It blends big batches of smoothies or soups more efficiently, has more blending programs, and is easier to clean by hand. However, the Ascent X2 performs quite similarly overall and has a more compact design with a 48oz jar. The design of its controls allows you to make smaller speed adjustments, while the Breville has 12 preset speeds.
