Our Verdict

Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender

Vitamix Immersion Blender

The Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender is a bit better than the Vitamix Immersion Blender. The Cuisinart makes a smoother blend with fibrous fruits and vegetables, which is important for smooth pureed soups and sauces. It comes with a beaker for blending, which is nice if you want to blend something like a smoothie. However, it's not very well-built, and the Vitamix is sturdier, as well as much quieter when it's running.
