HAND WHISK PLUS
HAND WHISK PROFESSIONAL

It also created a meringue while whipping egg whites in five minutes flat. The mixer revved right up for the whipped cream test and got us to medium peaks in five minutes and stiff peaks 30 seconds after that. The brushed chrome design is stylish, modern and timeless, and would look great in any kitchen.

We were impressed with this appliance right out of the box. It features a fan that blows hot air (like a hairdryer) over the beaters so you can start mixing with cold butter, which sounds kind of helpful, but the mixer’s overall performance was lacking (it even struggled to whip cream).Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account Oster HeatSoft Hand Mixer: This model was extremely heavy and required two hands to keep it steady.Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer: This model struggled while mixing cookie dough.Smeg Hand Mixer: While it performed well, this mixer didn’t measure up to our top picks and was more expensive than both.Hamilton Beach Magnolia Bakery 5-Speed Hand Mixer: This model was underpowered and couldn’t mix cookie dough as well as our winners.

Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9 Speed: This one was almost a winner.

Kitchenaid 5-Speed: This machine struggled throughout most of the tests and even started making weird sounds when I tried to make Swiss meringue.

The lowest speed wasn't all that low, making it a splatter hazard with the cream.

Hamilton Beach Soft Scrape: This mixer came in last place in the whipped cream test.

Noise level: Motors can be noisy or whiny (or even shriek-y).

Comfort: You'll want a machine that's comfortable to grip and hold for long periods of time.

However, higher wattage does not necessarily mean the mixer is more powerful or of better quality, as the machine's motor might not use that power efficiently.

Wattage: Wattage is a measurement of power.

Storage: Some of the mixers had cases or pouches for easier storage, which we liked.

While some of them are useful, we do not recommend using the dough whisk attachment with any mixer.

Attachments: Some mixers included whisks, frothers, dough hooks, and other attachments for added versatility.

Some machines also have Turbo mode, which can give you a boost of speed at the touch of a button to whip chunkier or thicker ingredients. More speeds make the transition from lowest to highest smoother.

Number of speeds: It’s often wise to start at a slow speed, then ramp up to a high speed to reduce the chance of splatters.
