Our Verdict

Breville Control Grip

Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion

The Breville Control Grip is better than the Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion. The Breville is sturdier and better at processing fibrous ingredients, meaning it can produce a smoother fruit smoothie or vegetable soup. It has various accessories, including a beaker for blending, a whisk, and a food-processing bowl. The jar and blending arm are dishwasher-safe.
