Which is better for large family smoothies?

The Breville Super Q. Its 68-ounce jug holds more than the X4's 48 ounces, and its 1,800-watt motor handles big frozen loads.

Is the Vitamix worth the extra money?

Only if the full 10-year warranty and the self-detect attachment system matter to you. On power and capacity, the Breville wins at about $485 less.

Which one is quieter?

The Breville. It uses noise suppression with a cooling system. Vitamix does not market the X4 as a quiet blender.

Can I blend a single serving in either?

The Breville includes a personal blending cup. The Vitamix X4 needs a self-detect personal container, sold separately.

Which is easier to fit on a counter?

The Vitamix X4. It is 7.75 inches wide versus 10.5 inches for the Breville, though it is taller at 17 inches.
