Which is better for smoothies?

Both handle smoothies well. The Super Q adds two smoothie presets and a personal cup, which suits single servings. The Vita-Prep's dial and tamper give you manual control for thick mixes.

The Super Q carries a 10-year limited warranty against 1 year for the Vita-Prep. That is the clearest durability signal between them.

Is the Super Q worth the extra $36?

Yes if you want presets, pulse, a personal cup and the longer warranty. If you just want strong blending at the lowest price, the Vita-Prep is enough.

The Super Q lists noise suppression with a cooling system. The Vita-Prep lists no noise feature, so expect the Breville to be the quieter of the two.

Which has the bigger jar?

The Super Q jug holds 68 oz versus 64 oz for the Vita-Prep. The Breville also includes a 24 oz personal cup.

Which is easier to use?

The Vita-Prep is simpler: one variable dial and a tamper. The Super Q offers more options but needs more learning.
