Hello-
Looking for the best hand mixer to buy? Want to make sure you get the best one without spending hours searching online through comparison shopping sites? Food and Wine magazine just did the hard work for you. Here’s their reviews of the best hand mixers:
The Winner
KitchenAid 9-Speed Professional ($90)
Feels as powerful and as easy to control as a stand mixer. Folded flour into dough on low speed without spraying ingredients out of the bowl. The keypad is smooth, so there’s no cleaning between buttons.Runner-Up
Braun M880 3-Speed ($60)
It’s nicely balanced and comfortable to hold. The beaters are extralong, so they work well in deep bowls but are harder to maneuver. Just three speeds, so it keeps things simple.Honorable Mentions
Cuisinart 7-Speed PowerSelect ($50)
The thin blades are sturdy enough to handle thick dough and are easy to clean. Machine has a lot of power; slowest speed is still relatively fast. LED display and buttons are small yet readable.Dualit 5-Speed ($80) Chrome Hand Mixer
Beautiful retro-chrome design with a retractable cord for easy storage. The lowest speed is still quite fast, making it tricky to use with thick doughs (www.target.com).
You can buy a hand mixer on eBay for much lower than the retail price you see quoted above.
