KOIOS 4-In-1 vs. Breville BSB510XL Control Grip Side-by-Side Comparison
KOIOS 4-In-1 vs. Breville BSB510XL Control Grip. One is high-cost but doesn’t deliver as well-rounded a blending experience as the other. Find out which is which.
Specifications
Design
Nothing is particularly unique in the KOIOS 4-in-1’s design, but common features like the stainless steel blades and control buttons are built well enough to make the blender itself stand out.
The Breville BSB510XL received plentiful praise from our testers for its overall design. It has an aesthetic appeal that very few others match. They’ve also commended its high-quality materials, which add to the visual attractiveness and make it feel more solid than most other blenders out there.
Usability
Despite utilizing the same key design features as other low-range blenders such as the Muller Ultra-Stick, the KOIOS 4-in-1 manages to provide a better blending experience.
The Breville BSB510XL really impresses us with its cleanability and an easy-to-assemble blade. Its height didn’t dominate our blending experience, but we did have a hard time maneuvering it due to the tight suction it created.
Performance
The KOIOS 4-in-1 wasn’t designed for powerful performance, but it passed all of our tests without much difficulty. As you might assume, a low-range hand blender won’t churn out velvety results, but all the blends were definitely better than we expected.
The Breville BSB510XL is slow to blend frozen foods, grind raw nuts, or emulsify sauces, but the products it produces are well worth the extra time.

Conclusion
Simple design and advanced convenience features make the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip a great balance of comfort and durability. Overall performance didn’t quite live up to our expectations for a premium immersion blender, but at least, it is capable of blending frozen fruits, emulsifying sauces, and whipping egg whites.
The KOIOS 4-In-1 isn’t as appealing as the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip, but we think highly of this blender. It shares the same capabilities as the competition but works quicker and more efficiently. Overall, it is a niche immersion blender for people who want something more versatile than a typical one but don't have the budget to get a luxury all-arounder.
