The Breville BSB510XL provides a professional and premium feel that you can't find in the Braun MultiQuick-5, but somehow its performance cannot match it and the difference is apparent when it comes to processing solid food. As proof of that, in our smoothie test, while their final outcomes share the same consistency, the Breville BSB510XL had a more difficult time powering through the frozen fruits, which caused it to be twice as slow as the competition.
The only minor annoyance of the Braun MultiQuick-5 is its stiffer buttons. Otherwise, this blender may be the easiest to use. So in conclusion, if you have to choose between these models, we definitely recommend the Braun MultiQuick-5.
