Breville BSB510XL Control Grip Immersion Blender

Our 20 year old immersion blender conked out and when I did some research for a new one, this was at the top of the list based on features and reviews. We already have an excellent Breville blender so we didn’t need anything more powerful than this. But, it has more than enough power for our needs. Note: anything that requires serious ice crushing power goes in the blender! I really love the design, in that each type of use has a separate attachment. That makes it easy to disassemble for compact storage. Our old immersion blender did not disassemble in the same way + the attachments on this Breville made our 20 a year old Cuisinart mini-chopper redundant. So this one product replaced 2, works better than the older products, and we’ve gained storage space! All good!

Genial mucha potencia y los accesorios de calidad la verdad buena marca y lo uso a diario para hacer jugo verde

I am on a liquid diet. I have been for the better part of the last year and that may never change. Most of what is easily available for such a diet is sweet -- ice cream, pudding, juice, jello, etc. One thing that has become a staple for me is Pacific Organic Tomato Soup. I love it. But the same thing could get tiresome after a while, and to prevent that from happening, I needed some good alternatives. Soup is a logical place to begin, but I can't eat any soup with lumps, chunks, or solids in it. I've tried other soups by Pacific and I don't much like them. Typical canned soups are out of the question, and while one local supermarket offers a couple of delicious soups in their deli section -- a Thai coconut soup and an Indian curry -- they are very expensive and not edible in their for-sale form. (But they're great when this blender finishes with them.) That is where the Breville hand blender comes in. After getting out of the hospital in December 2023, I did some research and narrowed the choice down to two hand blenders. One is made by Ninja and the other is this Breville model. I chose the Breville and although I have no idea how good the Ninja is, I am 100% happy about my choice. Among other things, the mixing container of the Breville appears to be a much better design than the Ninja's bowl. The handle and the no-skid lid that fits under the bowl for blending is very nice. Since that is what I do with my blender, I don't care about any other features of the Ninja, which is Amazon's "Choice." I have had mixed results with "Amazon's Choice" products. I don't find that "label" entirely reliable. I can take a canned soup or one from the deli and very quickly puree it to the point where it is safe for me to consume. I usually add a little hot water to the mix before I finish blending to make it a bit thinner for easier passage through my intestines. I have been impressed with how quickly and effectively the Breville blender reduces the lumps, chunks, and solids to a uniform liquid that is as thin or thick as I desire. This hand blender is easy to assemble after cleaning, comfortable to hold, and feels solid in every way. I have found cleaning it is simple and offers no problems. The original package included not just the blender but a mixing container with a well-thought out lid that the container can slip into and create a no slip base. The container is high quality, very useful, and, again, easy to clean. There is also a 3-Cup Chopper Bowl with stainless steel chopping blades and a whisking attachment. So far, I haven't used either one, but I might try the chopping bowl in the future if I come up with larger items that need to be chopped before they are blended. Given the quality and how well the blender works, I'm going to assume the other two accessories will also work well, but, not having used them yet, I can't rate them in this review. As I wrote above, I am completely happy with this purchase. I don't write many reviews. The majority of products today are nothing special and hardly worth commenting on. I did write an unfavorable review for a Denon CD player that is as overpriced as it is mediocre. Because I didn't begin to use it immediately after its purchase, by the time I was in a position to rate it, it was already too late to return it. However, I waited four months to write this review after starting to use the blender immediately and I feel comfortable giving this five stars across the board. At $129.00 it isn't inexpensive, but if someone needs a powerful, efficient, hand blender, I can't see them going wrong with this one.

Estupenda construcción para ser duradero. De veras vale la pena

We initially had cheaper Oster Immersion Blender. The major issue was it was difficult to clean especially near blade. There was food collecting inside shaft where shaft goes inside the unit. Also it was creating splatters. This is totally a non-issue with Breville. We ordered the Breville Immersion Blender primarily for quick kitchen tasks such as making baby food, paste, milk shakes and chopping. The blender is fast and powerful and variable speed makes job much easier. We must say this blender is designed very well and works exceedingly well. It looks beautiful aesthetically and designed very well ergonomically. Handle and trigger switch are quite ergonomic and easy to hold. We were so amazed at how neatly the blender works without splatter or splashing due to the design of the blending blades and shroud. The plastic mixing container is nicely designed and has nice handle for securing the container while blending. Top when inverted and placed underneath acts as a skid proof cushion to prevent the container from moving around while blending. The whisk attachment works great for making buttermilk etc. Clean up is pretty easy. Blades are protected by a shroud which is great safety feature. We are using it for general kitchen tasks, but using Vitamix for all heavy dedicated tasks as well as smoothies. Though this little immersion blender can not produce as good results as Vitamix, it is good for quick tasks and can do most tasks pretty good. Basically it is "Jack of All" kind of little machine. This Immersion blender is expensive, but very well worth it. We are using it now for last 3 years and very pleased with it. We are very glad that we bought it and also gifted to two of our friends who are equally delighted. We are so pleased with Breville kitchen appliances and now we have 5 appliances from Breville. Highly Recommended!
