KOIOS 4-In-1 vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 Side-by-Side Comparison

KOIOS 4-In-1 vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1:  Comparison of Specs, Features, and Efficiency

Overall Verdict

The two are basic, mid-range immersion blenders. In our efficiency testing, however, the KOIOS 4-in-1 outperformed the other. Compared with the Chefman 6-in-1, it blended frozen fruits faster and produced more silky pureé. It also ground nuts more evenly, churning out a serving of milk that was apparently richer in almond flavor.

Design-wise, they are pretty evenly matched, with reliable build quality for daily use. Still, we mostly agree the KOIOS 4-in-1 looks more catchy. Its design also allows the motor to run smoothly and is more comfortable to use on tough blends. In conclusion, if you have to choose between these models, we’d like to recommend the KOIOS 4-in-1 over the Chefman 6-in-1.
