Score: 76/100Rankings
The Cuisinart CSB-175 Smart Stick provides a 300-W motor and two speed settings in a compact, ergonomic design with a 24-ounce mixing cup and dishwasher-safe parts. With only two speeds and no extra attachments, its versatility is limited for more complex tasks. Suited for users who want straightforward, powerful blending for everyday soups and sauces.
The Breville BSB510XL Control Grip offers a robust 280 W motor, 15 speed settings and a versatile accessory kit, excelling at hot blends and low-splash operation. Its drawbacks are the heavy weight, louder noise and limited ability to crush ice. Best for users who prioritize durability and control for soups and smoothies over ultra-light portability.

Professional reviewers commend the Breville BSB510XL for its robust construction, low-splatter anti-suction design, and versatile accessory set that handles soups, fibrous smoothies, and hot blends with ease. However, they note its mediocre ice-crushing ability, heavy weight, and louder operation, and point out that the chopper and whisk are less powerful than dedicated tools.
Everyday users appreciate the smooth purees, ergonomic grip, and durability that lasts years, while praising the easy cleanup and useful attachments. Recurring complaints focus on the unit's weight, suction in narrow containers, slower performance with ice or frozen items, and a louder motor.
Professional editors and retailer listings highlight the upgraded 300-watt motor for faster blending of tough ingredients, an improved blade guard for safety, and the inclusion of a 24-ounce mixing cup with an optional 3-year warranty, positioning it as a strong mid-range immersion blender.
No consumer reviews or direct user feedback were found in the research, so everyday user sentiment cannot be determined.
