How much milk can each handle?

The Breville takes up to 740 ml, about 3 cups. The Zulay froths one mug at a time, so a batch of drinks means repeated whisking.

Which is easier to clean?

The Breville, since the jug is dishwasher safe. The Zulay's whisk head needs rinsing by hand, and you should keep the battery handle dry.

Does the Breville work in the US?
