Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender: What to Know
Breville's Control Grip uses a 280-watt motor across 15 speed settings, giving finer step-by-step control than the fixed-dial Cuisinart or the trigger-pressure Braun and KitchenAid designs. The stainless steel shaft has an 8-inch immersion depth, and Breville's bell-shaped blending base includes internal ribbing that the company says reduces suction against the side of a pot or bowl, a detail specific to this model among the five compared here.
The kit includes a 42-ounce jug with a dual-purpose lid that doubles as storage, an anti-slip base mat, a 25-ounce chopping bowl with its own mini blade system, and a whisk attachment, plus a 6-foot cord. Breville also designed the jug to nest the chopper bowl inside it for more compact storage, which none of the other four models in this guide specifically call out as a feature.
Breville backs the BSB510XL with a 1-year limited warranty, shorter than the 3-year coverage Vitamix and Cuisinart list for their comparable models. The trigger-switch operation (squeeze to run, release to stop) is closer in feel to the Braun and KitchenAid designs than to Cuisinart's dial, so buyers who specifically want a twist-dial control should look at the Cuisinart instead.
