Instant Pot Ace 60 Blender vs. Vitamix, Reviews: 2018

To find out the difference between the new Instant Pot Ace 60 blender, which cooks and blends, and the Vitamix Ascent 2500, I put them in a series of head-to-head tests, making nut milk, smoothies, and hot soup..
For a blender that costs just $99, the Instant Pot Ace is an impressive piece of gear. Though I was initially skeptical about the functionality of the hidden heating element, the butternut-squash soup that I made far exceeded my expectations, and I would be curious to learn how to cook in the blender itself. The cold blending programs I tested were just as solid, and I especially liked that I could let the blender run unsupervised, walking away to clean up or brush my teeth while my nut milk whirred around. There were some issues with grittiness, especially in my smoothie-making test, but it’s got a lot of power for a $99 blender, certainly more than any other comparably priced blender I’ve ever tried.
