Our Verdict
Vitamix 5200
Breville The Q
You might prefer either the Vitamix 5200 or the Breville The Q. Both offer good blending performance for a variety of recipes. The Vitamix has a much better build quality and a speed dial that gives you more control over the blending speed. On the other hand, the Breville can crush more ice at once. It's also less noisy and has a few automatic blending programs.
