Which is better for frozen fruit and ice?

The Breville has more power at 1800 watts. The Vita-Prep 3 includes a tamper, which helps push frozen mixtures into the blades without stopping. Both can do it; the Vita-Prep 3 is easier for very thick loads.

Which has the bigger jar?

The Breville jug holds 68 oz versus 64 oz for the Vita-Prep 3. The Breville also adds a 24 oz personal cup for single servings.

The Breville carries a 10-year limited warranty. The Vita-Prep 3 listing states no warranty, so its lifespan depends on the commercial-duty motor and cooling fan.

Is the Vita-Prep 3 worth the extra?

Only if you need the tamper and the commercial start/stop switch. At its high of $540.55 it costs far more than the Breville, and its wattage is lower.

Can I make single-serve smoothies?

Yes with the Breville, using the included 24 oz personal cup and blade assembly. The Vita-Prep 3 only comes with its 64 oz container.

Which is easier to move?

The Vita-Prep 3 weighs 12.2 lb. The Breville weighs 7.02 kg, about 15.5 lb, so the Vita-Prep 3 is lighter.
