KOIOS 4-In-1 Immersion vs Mueller Ultra-Stick

Overall Verdict

The Muller Ultra-Stick is similar to the KOIOS 4-in-1 in appearance, operation, and versatility, but not as good in other aspects. It’s more awkward to use and we weren’t really comfortable during operation. Our hands felt tired every single time we used this blender for more than a single batch.

In terms of its overall construction, it looks flimsier with substandard blades. We also felt that there was a possibility of the coupler that attaches the removal parts to the motor body being irreparably broken. 

Most importantly, the textures it produced in our tests weren’t as smooth as those of the KOIOIS.
