Mueller Ultra-Stick vs. Breville BSB510XL Control Grip comparison. Let’s find the one that is best for you and your needs.
Mueller Ultra-Stick
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Breville BSB510XL Control Grip
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
Both offer a versatile blending experience, but their performance is just adequate, not great. Despite being higher priced, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip wasn’t quite as good as the Mueller Ultra-Stick in our tests. While we appreciate the extra convenient features of this fancy blender, we haven't found such goodies contribute much to the texture’s quality. Nonetheless, we still recommend the Breville BSB510XL if comfort is a priority for you.
The Mueller Ultra-Stick did perform a particularly better job of preparing frozen fruit smoothie and pureeing hot soup, but we weren’t comfortable maneuvering it. If you use this blender continuously for more than one batch, your fingertips may begin to feel a bit fatigued.
