CONS

Braun MQ9137XI Hand Blender
Vitamix E320 Explorian Blender
Yes

• May not be ideal for heavy-duty use. • Terrible at crushing ice. • Most of the included accessories are made of plastic material which can be easily scratched and broken. • The plastic cups stain and hold smells just like any plastic food container. • No timer so you have to watch the clock to make sure you're not over-blending. • Quality/robustness of accessories not totally consistent • Some of the recipes in the books call for amounts/proportions of ingredients that are hard to totally fit in the containers. • If you do not put it on really tight, the screw-on the blade part can easily come unscrewed from the container mid blend, making a huge mess.

Yes

• This is uncommon, but food bits can get in between the switches • Louder than most Vitamix blenders • If you get the personal cup attachment, there’s an extra adapter you’d need (a cup within a cup). It may use up more space than necessary.
