First, it is “made in USA”. Secondly, all the elements are executed simply hyper-quality. The mixer has nine speeds and with each according to the instructions you need to use your own nozzles. Yes, there are not two of them, but not nine either. Let’s count – a pair of Turbo whisks, a pair of dough hooks, a 16-wire whisk, a rod for whisking cocktails and sauces. To fit it all, the set includes a case.

10. Moulinex HM 411110

The device went to the people: they rightly say so when they start selling some household appliances even in supermarkets. This one is just one of those. For some reason, the brand positions it as an accessory for baking fans. But in fact, this is a full-fledged mixer for the home. In addition to the standard whisks and hooks, the kit comes with a nice bonus – the attachment of an immersion blender. So you can grind nuts, make a smoothie or puree soup. But we ask you not to experience illusions about the quality of this part of the device. The power for a handheld device is standard. It is regulated by the toggle switch on the top handle in five positions. Separately, there is a turbo button to immediately give maximum speed. It is enough to, for example, knead a thick dough for bread. There is also a measuring cup in the kit – a necessary thing in the kitchen, besides, you can work with an immersion blender in it.

12. Philips HR3745/00 Viva Collection

And again, a mixer for the home, in the marketing picture of which the manufacturer focuses on baking fans. Say, helps to prepare magnificent pies. Advertising aside: let’s figure out what kind of kitchen assistant we have in front of us. Strictly speaking, this is an economical version of the planetary mixer. Power — as manual. It can even be seen that he is essentially standing here, only fixed on a platform that rises up and down. Secondly, the volume of the bowl is three liters. For some it will be enough. Often in reviews of models with large volumes they write that the beaters do not reach the bottom and edges. The bowl itself is made of plastic, which, to be honest, does not look very presentable. Power is controlled by a five-speed switch. There is also a turbo mode. The local rims are slightly angular in shape. The manufacturer attributes to them the properties to saturate the dough with oxygen.

13. Smeg SMF01

If not for two significant “buts”, this planetary mixer would be a must-have. And so let him close our review. About the first nuance, we think, guessed from the title – the price. What to do: Italian brand. True, the assembly is now in China. Second is the weight. From place to place once again you will not drag. This mixer, as planned, should be placed in a large spacious kitchen and not moved. If it meets your conditions, then you can buy. We scolded, now we will praise. Just like a sophisticated retro design. Next, we note high-quality metal and plastic. The volume of the bowl is 4,8 liters. There is a cover. When the mechanism is raised, the switch-on lock is activated. That is, even if accidentally pressed, the blades will not start to rotate and do not spray the components. Ten speeds are available to users. What is interesting, whichever you choose, everyone starts with a smooth start and gradually rush to their limit. Buyers note the low noise level.

16. STARWIND SPM7161/7167/7169

Transition class device: at the junction of a mixer for the home and a professional unit. For those who are full of cooking and want to try a powerful device, but are not ready to pay for a cool device. This planetary mixer for the home is available in two colors: ivory and turquoise. The device has a bowl of increased capacity – 5,5 liters. Power is regulated by six speeds. The manufacturer adds a small bonus to the standard equipment in the form of hooks, whisks and a flat nozzle – a silicone spatula. In principle, this inexpensive accessory can be bought anyway, but a nice little thing. It will be convenient to scrape adhering ingredients from the walls of the bowl. By the way, the cover that is put on top to protect against splashes is not transparent here, but silicone. For some, it may be a minus that the content is not visible. At the bottom of the device are rubber knobs for fixing.

17. VITEK VT-1441

Another planetary mixer for the home in the list of the best, which compares favorably with competitors in two ways. The first is a really affordable price. The second one weighs only three kilos. And yes, he has the power. The complete bowl holds five liters of liquid. Like other models, it is made of stainless steel. The rotary mechanism on the side face is responsible for adjusting the speed. Six power modes are available. When the mixer is latched, on alert, there is a hole in the lid of the bowl for adding ingredients. But it is not very free – add a maximum of sugar, flour. The rest will be more difficult. Nozzles change at the touch of a button. The device is good, but not without reservations. Plastic draws attention – obviously inexpensive. Some buyers complain about an unpleasant smell that does not go away for months. Secondly, they scold him for his power. They say high is declared, but in fact it cannot cope with a thick dough and can completely burn out from overheating. But the problem is not massive, obviously the loss of power occurs from device to device.

How to choose a mixer

Hand or stand mixer?

Mixers are manual and stationary. Hand models have a compact size and low power (200-500 W). They are ideal for small portions and infrequent use. 

Stationary mixers – a great option for large families and lovers of home baking. They have high power (800-1000 W), but such devices usually cost several times more than manual ones.

Bowls and attachments

Mixer bowls and attachments can be made from a variety of materials. Ideally they should be made from thick stainless steel, then the parts will be easy to remove and wash. In addition, metal components will last much longer than plastic ones.

Number of speeds and attachments

Another factor that is important to pay attention to when choosing a mixer is the number of speeds and nozzles. The more of them, the more functional the device should be. But you also need to remember that the number of nozzles, as well as the declared high power, can only be advertising tricks: try to study reviews before buying or watch video reviews.

It is also necessary to check whether the mixer bowl closes tightly (we are talking about a stationary type) or not. If the lid is missing, the contents will slosh or spill out during operation, especially at high speeds.
