The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is the brand's top-of-the-line full-size blender. It's more expensive than the Breville The Q and the Breville the Fresh & Furious and has a wider range of speed settings. It also comes with a 24oz personal jar in addition to its 68oz main pitcher. Like other Breville blenders, it has several programs for automatic blending.
Our Verdict
The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is fantastic for multi-purpose use. This full-size blender comes with a 68oz main pitcher and a 24oz personal jar for single-serve drinks. It performs very well for most recipes. It can make smooth blends with fibrous ingredients like kale and fruit and easily processes thicker mixtures like nut butter. While it's not meant to process more than 10 ice cubes at once, it quickly makes snow-like crushed ice as well. It's easy to clean overall.

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is superb for single-serve smoothies. It comes with a 24oz personal jar that you can use for single-serve smoothies and other drinks. If your recipe includes fibrous ingredients like kale, you must run a couple of 30-second 'Green Smoothie' cycles, shaking the jar in between for the best results. That said, overall, it's an easy process, and it makes very well-blended smoothies with ingredients like fruit and leafy greens.

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is incredible for multiple servings of smoothies. Its 68oz pitcher has enough capacity for big batches. The 1-minute 'Green Smoothie' cycle isn't quite enough if your recipe includes fibrous ingredients like kale or fruit, but if you blend manually for around 30 more seconds, it makes a nearly perfectly smooth blend. It has no problem crushing ice, either.

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is fantastic for ice-crushing. The manual says it can process at most 10 ice cubes at once, but aside from that limitation, it's very well-suited for making crushed ice. Using a smaller batch of about six ice cubes, it quickly makes snow-like crushed ice with its 'Ice Crush' blending program. It's also very well-built, which is particularly important if you blend a lot of hard ingredients like ice cubes.

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is incredible for soups. This blender can blend hot ingredients or heat ingredients with its roughly 5-minute 'Soup' blending program. The 68oz main jar has enough capacity for most recipes. It makes a mostly smooth blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for well-blended soups with ingredients like broccoli and kale.

The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is incredible for professional use. It's very well-built, has a big 68oz capacity in its main jar, and works very well for most recipes. It can hot blend, easily process difficult ingredients like nuts and ice, and smoothly blend fibrous ingredients like kale and fruits. It's decently quiet, although you can find quieter full-size blenders that perform similarly.

Compared To Other Blenders
The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is a high-end full-size blender with a versatile performance. It's fantastic for recipes like smoothies and soups, although some blenders like the Vitamix A3500 make a slightly smoother blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. It's decently quiet, although the Vitamix Ascent X5 and Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance are a bit quieter. However, unlike a lot of higher-end blenders, you don't have to purchase a personal jar separately if you want one since it comes with one included.
If you're looking for a recommendation, check out the best blenders, the best smoothie blenders, and the best blenders for frozen drinks.
The Vitamix A3500 is a little better than the Breville The Super Q BBL920. It offers a better performance for blending fibrous ingredients, making smoother soups and smoothies faster. It can handle a bigger batch of ice cubes and crush ice more quickly. Its controls also let you make smaller speed adjustments, while the Breville has 12 preset speeds. However, the Breville is easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter. It comes with a 24oz personal jar for single-serve drinks like smoothies.
The Breville The Super Q BBL920 is better than the Breville The Q. The Super Q has a better build quality and comes with a personal jar, which helps it blend single-serve smoothies more efficiently. It has more automatic blending programs. However, the Super Q's lid is a bit tricky to clean, and, as a result, the Q is easier to clean overall. The Q is also better for ice-crushing.
The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is better than the Breville the Fresh & Furious. The Breville is a higher-end model and has a better build quality and a bigger 68oz capacity in its main jar. It comes with a 24oz personal jar for recipes like single-serve smoothies. It's easier to use for thicker mixtures like nut butter and blends fibrous ingredients quickly. That said, the Fresh & Furious makes a slightly smoother blend with fibrous ingredients.
The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is a bit better than the Vitamix Ascent X2. Its metal motor body gives it a better build quality overall, and it comes with a 24oz personal jar in addition to its 68oz main pitcher. It blends big batches of smoothies or soups more efficiently, has more blending programs, and is easier to clean by hand. However, the Ascent X2 performs quite similarly overall and has a more compact design with a 48oz jar. The design of its controls allows you to make smaller speed adjustments, while the Breville has 12 preset speeds.
Test Results
The Breville the Super Q BBL920 is a big, full-size blender best stored on your counter instead of in a cupboard.
It has a fantastic build quality. The motor base is made of stainless steel, with rubber gaskets and seals and premium-feeling plastic accents. The base's gears are made of metal, while the gears on the jar have some plastic components. There are rubber feet under the motor base that help keep it from moving around on your counter.
The display is simple and easy to understand, with round buttons for different blending programs, like the Breville The Q. Its small blue LED screen displays more information compared with the Breville The Q's. The jars feel sturdy and are easy to place on the motor base. It's also easy to assemble the personal jar and blades.
There are a few downsides: the main jar's lid seals with friction and is very difficult to remove, which is annoying. The main jar wobbles slightly, as does the speed dial, although it's not that noticeable. There is storage for the cord, but you have to feed the cord in manually.
The main jar has a big 68oz capacity. There's also a personal jar included with a 24oz capacity.
The main jar, personal jar, and lids are dishwasher-safe. The personal jar is compatible with the 'Vac Q,' an air pump that draws air out of the jar, which is advertised to help make smoother blends. This accessory is sold separately on Breville's website.
The main jar's blades are fixed in the jar, which is dishwasher-safe. There's also a second blade assembly for the personal jar which is also dishwasher-safe.
The main jar has a two-part lid, so you can remove the center piece and add ingredients mid-blend. The lid seals with friction, and the large gaskets make it very hard to remove.
There's also a to-go lid included for the personal jar.
The power cord is quite long. The blender has a storage compartment for it, but you must push it in yourself; it's not automatically retractable.

It's fantastic for processing small batches of fibrous ingredients using the personal jar. You get the best results by running two Green Smoothie programs, shaking in between. The final result has a couple of tiny bits of kale leftover, but overall, it makes a very smooth blend without much effort on your part.
It's also fantastic for processing fibrous ingredients in its main jar at full capacity. If you use its Green Smoothie preset followed by about 30 seconds of manual blending, it makes an almost perfectly smooth blend with ingredients like kale. It's an easy process, and the results are smooth enough to please most people, but the Breville The Q makes an even smoother blend.
We also checked how it performs when you use the manual blending mode and a high speed instead of the Green Smoothie program. You can see a video of that process. However, the results are similar.
It's fantastic for crushing ice. However, it's only intended for crushing a smaller batch (10 ice cubes), and if you keep within that limit, it easily makes snow-like crushed ice. You can simply press start and let the Pulse/Ice Crush preset do all the work. However, it loses points because many full-size blenders perform similarly with a bigger batch.
We also tried it with our usual batch of 12 ice cubes and found you have to follow the Pulse/Ice Crush preset with manual blending and use the tamper. This method produces snow-like but clumpy results. You can see a video of the process with 12 ice cubes and a photo of the results.
It's superb for making nut butter. If you vary the speed, sticking with speed settings 3-6 (Mix or Chop) and using the tamper to keep the ingredients moving, it makes nut butter in less than three minutes. The texture is fantastic overall, although even if you blend for longer, it leaves some unprocessed bits left over, so it doesn't quite achieve the same perfectly smooth texture as the Vitamix Ascent X5.
The manual recommends using higher Puree speeds (settings 9-10) for nut butter. However, that procedure resulted in a longer blending time compared with using lower speeds. Here's a video of making nut butter using the manual-recommended settings.
It's not particularly loud for a full-size blender, but if noise level is a big concern for you, there are quieter models, such as the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance.
It has a wide range of speed settings, so you have plenty of options for adjusting the speed for different recipes. The same speed settings are available whether you're using the main pitcher or personal jar.
This blender has six automatic blending programs and 12 speed presets for manual blending. The speed presets are named for a suggested use (like Stir and Chop). There's a dedicated Pulse/Ice Crush button and a Timer button that you can use to change the default time of a blending program. There's a reset button on the side of the blender as well.
You can use any manual speed setting when using the personal jar, but some blending programs have a different duration or aren't available.
| Program | Main Pitcher | Personal Jar |
| Pulse/Ice Crush | 1 minute | Hold button |
| Smoothie | 45 seconds | 30 seconds |
| Green Smoothie | 50 seconds | 30 seconds |
| Frozen Dessert | 50 seconds | Not available |
| Soup | 5 minutes and 35 seconds (heats ingredients) | Not available |
| Clean | 1 minute | 30 seconds |
It's easy to clean. Using the Clean program with soap and water in the jar helps remove sticky ingredients from the jar and blades. While the blades are sharp, there's lots of space under them, and it's not difficult to clean them properly. However, the lid gasket tends to trap bits of food, and it's tricky to properly clean without a brush.
