Breville BSB510XL Control Grip
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Hamilton Beach 2 Speed
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
As a high-end immersion blender, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip is decently equipped with premium materials. It has a rich feature list that strives to increase competition in every segment. Compared with the Hamilton Beach 2-Speed, it performed better in all of the tests, and most impressively, it didn’t heat up during a heavy-duty blend like its peer did.
In terms of usability, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip is easier to use and more comfortable on longer operations thanks to a soft touch finish. The Hamilton Beach 2-Speed often feels a bit vulnerable during even simple tasks. It is also a pain to maneuver due to the violent shaking motor and unresponsive controlling buttons.
