Our Verdict

Vitamix A3500

Breville the Super Q BBL920

The Vitamix A3500 is a little better than the Breville The Super Q BBL920. It offers a better performance for blending fibrous ingredients, making smoother soups and smoothies faster. It can handle a bigger batch of ice cubes and crush ice more quickly. Its controls also let you make smaller speed adjustments, while the Breville has 12 preset speeds. However, the Breville is easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter. It comes with a 24oz personal jar for single-serve drinks like smoothies.
