I am trying to decide between this Breville BGR820XL and Cuisinart GR-150 Griddler Deluxe. Do any of you have any suggestions how to decide?

Breville had the options I wanted. More plate inserts, temp control, cook like the George Forman grill did.

We gave our George Foreman grill away. It was too small, too difficult to use, didn't produce grilled meat that looked like it was barbequed. The Breville is facile, you can grill on one side and cook veggies on the other. Do pancakes. Or just grill and by closing the top accelerate the cooking time. We are awed by it and have given at least three gifts of it to friends.

Buy both then return the one that is inferior. If you like them both equally, then flip a coin and the loser goes home!

I just bought mine a couple months ago, and, as it sounds, you are a kitchen gadget lover, too. I had a Cuisinart that I used it to death in less than 2 years. I hoped by the Kitchen-Aid reputation (and you can't beat nearly half price) that it will take the use at least as well if not better. There's a bit more to this set, too. I'm thrilled with it so far, and I'll bet you would be, too! Happy Holidays!

We have tried a couple different ninja's (because they have scored well in other ratings). We couldn't stand them. They are very loud. Much louder than the Brevilles. The Breville is much easier to clean. The Breville is also more stable and secure on the countertop. The ninja's required two hands holding them at all times. The Breville is very solidly built and well engineered to last.

I actually have one of each and prefer the handle of the Mauviel but really like the French Cuisinart ... so, basically, I like them both!

I tried both. I actually bought the cuisinart first but found the quality not so good. I ordered the fager and my DH likes it much better. The cleanup is a lot easier (the lid is easier to clean and the gasket to reinstall) and it browns meat before cooking. Another great feature is being able to cook in it. If things seems like they are not cooking you can just use brown and it cooks as if it were a pot on the stove. Love the fager!!!

I just spoke with Cuisinart, and got some good info. First off, thank you, Swidgen, for noticing that the 10S comes with a flat lid whereas the 2007N doesn't - - Cuisinart confirmed this. (For those who don't know, the flat lid comes in handy when making things like hummus or pesto, that don't need the push-chute). Also, the additional weight of the 10S is due to a 600w motor, compared to a 500w motor in the 2007N. Knowing this, will get the 10S, especially since it will sit next to my white Vitamix, and they will make a perfect-looking pair. :-)

I got the thermal Breville because is allow you to use less water from the tank. The glass brewers the entry tank.

Sorry - can't help. I returned it and got a Breville, which I love. I would contact the company if you haven't already. Good luck.

Breville 800xl's are the best there is at the price point. Invariably in my experience the output suddenly drops and no amount of cleaning or adjusting resolves the issue. Sometimes its a year or more-sometimes nine months. Customer service is all but useless. Answer has been to buy or exchange for a new machine--I'm on my fourth.

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I have the Breville too (as well as the Calphalon). It's capacity is the same and works just as well.

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

I was not happy with the hand blender and ended up purchasing the Breville stand mixer. I felt the Bamix was difficult to clean and change attachments. My honest opinion,

I just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.
