Best Hand Mixers Of 2021
The 9 Speed Cuisinart HM-90BCS Hand Mixer comes with beaters, dough hooks, a snap-on storage case, and more. In addition to staying organized, it keeps kitchen’s clean with the SmoothStart feature for less splatter or dry ingredient bombs. The 3-year warranty is as good as you’re going to get in this category and is one or two years more than other competitors. The unplugged hand mixer and power cord need only be wiped down with a damp rag. Speaking of the 5-foot power cord, this is actually the biggest complaint of the hand mixer. While the length is good, and it kinda-sorta swivels out of the way for left and right-handed use, it’s cumbersome when it comes to setting down the hand mixer.
With extra-long beaters, this Cuisinart 220-watt mixer does a phenomenal job of mixing an array of ingredients together. This 7-speed Cuisinart hand mixer enables you to set the speed of functionality as per your requirements. From whipped cream to dense cookie dough, the Cuisinart HM-70 does it all for you in a nick of time. Operate this Cuisinart 220-watt mixer with ease as it boasts a one-touch operating facility. This Cuisinart hand mixer comes with SmoothStart feature which has three low mixing speeds, helping you eliminate splattering.
We didn’t notice this kicking in during testing, but the Handy Mix was sufficiently powerful to handle all of the doughs and batters we made. It seamlessly transitioned from slow to high speeds without splashing ingredients around. Use lower speeds for thicker or harder recipes, such as creamed butter or biscuit dough.
The “quick burst” button speeds up the mixing, which helped finish off the meringue really nicely, giving it lots of peaks and that fluffy stiffness bakers look for. The attachments ejected easily — the button is intuitive and worked smoothly — and cleaned up without any difficulty. The style, versatility, power and speed of the Breville BHM800SIL Hand Mixer make it akin to a sports car of the small-appliance world. For those whose budget allows, that all adds up to a mixer well worth the premium you’d pay in comparison to the Cuisinart. A-1 item for a kitchen that does not have limitless countertop space, or for the chef who has cut back on the frequency and grandeur of feasts. While this is a great option for those who only bake occasionally, you do get what you pay for.
We really fell for the Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer as a simple, hard-working mixer that gets the job done for less. It was also the only lower-priced mixer with a storage case and attachments. The Cuisinart may be quieter than the hand mixers of 20 years ago, but it gets loud at the higher speeds. The Cuisinart was on par, noise-wise, with another hand mixer that cost half the price.
This mixer scored the maximum points for speed, never slowing down even with heavy ingredients. Beating ability for the oatmeal cookies was powerful and fast, clocking the quickest bowl-to-cookie-sheet time of all the mixers we tested. The Breville also has dough hooks, which are sturdy and solidly built and worked the dough with serious power, creating a workable, non-sticky dough that made a perfectly crispy crust pizza. Not only does cuisinart griddler elite the Breville look gorgeous out of the box with clean lines and a modern design, but this mixer is a true powerhouse. We first used it to make whipped cream and meringue with the double whisk attachments, a departure from the single-whisk mixers that made up the bulk of our testing pool. This was a little difficult to manage on the first try, as the two whisks worked with a lot more might and speed than the other mixers’ single whisk.
The Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus does everything it promises to do. However, it’s louder and shakes more than a comparably priced model. You get a few extra perks like more speeds and the LCD display.
