Our Verdict

Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance

Vitamix Ascent X2

The Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance is better than the Vitamix Ascent X2. It's better for ice crushing and blending fibrous ingredients like fruit and kale. Its blunt blades help make it easier to clean by hand. It also has a bigger capacity. That said, the Vitamix also performs well for all kinds of blends, and its 48oz jar is easier to use for recipes like nut butter.
