Mueller Ultra-Stick vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1 Side-by-Side Comparison

Mueller Ultra-Stick vs. Chefman Vegetable Slicer 6-in-1: How These Mid-Range Immersion Blenders Stack Up

Overall Verdict

The two are average-performing immersion blenders with no standout capability, but if you require something more efficient, the Mueller Ultra-Stick has a little bit more to offer. The Chefman 6-in-1 is not a bad choice, but in our tests, its end products were mostly not as smooth, nor as quick, as those of the competition.

We were really impressed with their extra blending attachments. It’s nice to have such niceties for the price. However, it’d be better if they focused on quality over quantity. Their overall constructions still leave a lot of room for improvement. They are built well enough to get the job done, but at the same time, they’re somewhat flimsy and do not look as sleek as you may expect.
