Our Verdict

Calphalon ActiveSense

Brentwood 12-Speed Pulse Blender with Glass Jar

The Calphalon ActiveSense is better than the Brentwood 12-Speed Pulse Blender with Glass Jar. The Calphalon is sturdier and has a bigger capacity. It has a better overall blending performance since it can crush ice, make nut butter, and make a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients. However, the Brentwood has a glass jar, which is less prone to scratches and discoloration. It's significantly quieter when it's running as well.
