Our verdict
The Super Q is the closest like-for-like alternative to a full-size Vitamix in this list: an 1800 W motor, a 68 oz jug, 12 speeds and five one-touch programs (two smoothie settings, pulse/ice crush, frozen desserts and soup). A tamper and a 24 oz personal blending cup come in the box, so one base covers family batches and single smoothies.
On durability, the main evidence is the warranty: 10 years on parts and labor, comparable to the long cover Vitamix and Blendtec buyers pay for. We found no pattern of motor failures in owner reports; the complaint that keeps coming up is a lid that is stiff to remove and fiddly to clean.
It stands 18 in tall on its base, so measure under your cabinets first. It suits buyers who want a quieter-running premium machine and like preset programs as well as a speed dial.
