Our Verdict

Breville Control Grip

Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender

The Breville Control Grip is better than the Cuisinart Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender. The Breville is better built and has a better blending performance for most uses, especially for tougher tasks like ice crushing or making nut butter. It's also quieter when it's running. However, the Cuisinart is just as good at processing fibrous ingredients for smooth soups and sauces, and it's lighter, so it's less tiring to hold.
