Breville Control Grip vs Smeg HBF02

The Breville Control Grip is better for making soups than the Smeg HBF02. The Breville has a much better build quality and makes a smoother blend with common additions like leafy greens or broccoli. However, the Smeg is much quieter when it's running, and it's very good at crushing ice for an immersion blender, which is nice if you want to use it for smoothies with ice cubes or to whip up crushed ice for cocktails.
