Breville Control Grip Immersion Blender

Overview

The Breville BSB510XL Control Grip is a stainless steel immersion blender with a trigger-grip design, an anti-suction blending base and an 8-inch shaft, sold with a 42-ounce jug, a 25-ounce chopping bowl and a whisk attachment for soups, smoothies and small chopping jobs.

The trigger-operated switch and bell-shaped anti-suction base are the features owners call out most, since they cut down on splatter compared to a simple on-off button.

• Anti-suction, bell-shaped blending base
• Trigger-grip switch for one-handed control
• Includes 42 oz jug and 25 oz chopping bowl
• 1-year limited warranty

Who it's for

Fits buyers who blend soups or smoothies often enough that a cheaper blender has already failed once, and who want a sturdier motor and grip. Less of a fit for anyone who only blends occasionally and does not want to pay a premium over basic models.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The trigger grip runs the motor only while held, which several owners found comfortable even during longer sessions, including one who has hand issues and expected difficulty. The anti-suction base is designed to reduce the vacuum effect that pulls liquid up around the blade, and the 8-inch shaft reaches into taller pots than a standard hand blender. One reviewer put it through years of near-daily use as their main kitchen tool before rating it.
