Our Verdict

Breville Control Grip

Braun MultiQuick 5

For most purposes, the Breville Control Grip is better than the Braun MultiQuick 5. The Breville has a better overall blending performance. It's better for processing fibrous ingredients, which is important for well-blended smoothies and soups. It makes smoother nut butter in less time and can crush ice. It comes with more accessories, including a food processor. However, the Braun is quieter and lighter.
