Breville BSB510XL Control Grip vs. UTALENT 5-In-1 Side-by-Side Comparison

Breville BSB510XL Control Grip vs. UTALENT 5-In-1: Where Good Design Makes a Difference

Overall Verdict

If you're looking for something that can handle basic tasks consistently, the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip is a better choice than the UTALENT 5-in-1. Although it isn’t the best in the segment, it is a nice all-arounder, passing all of our tests with above-average results. Before you buy, just note that it costs twice as much and the fact that all its niceties are exclusive but probably not life-changing.

Apart from performance, the overall build quality of the UTALENT 5-in-1 doesn’t match the Breville BSB510XL Control Grip, either. Its motor body is mostly made of hard plastic, which feels cheap and doesn’t look as solid as the Breville’s stainless steel construction. 

The only disadvantage of the Breville BSB510XL over the UTALENT 5-in-1 is the head of its blending wand which is too large to easily find itself a compatible blending container.
