Design Engineer Tests $600 & $25 Blenders | Epicurious

Today product design engineer Vincent Valderrama joins Epicurious to pit a $25 Oster blender against a top-of-the-line $600 Vitamix blender in a series of common kitchen tasks. Vincent breaks down precisely how and why the high-priced option outshines the budget brand (and where it doesn’t,) whipping up smoothies, crushing ice, and even making fresh mayonnaise in both a $600 and $25 version of a common kitchen appliance.
