Ranking of the best hand mixers for the kitchen for 2022

In the fast-paced age of time troubles and endless worries, time spent with the family becomes especially valuable. A homemade dinner or a small solemn feast is gradually becoming a vital necessity. The hostesses, using the richness of the choice of products, create true masterpieces of culinary art.

Important helpers in the kitchen are hand mixers, which are distinguished by:

• small size;
• functionality;
• ergonomics;
• easy care;
• affordable price.

The list of offers on the market is wide and varied, it is not easy to make a choice. The rating of the best models in several price categories is presented in this article.

How to choose the right hand mixer

In addition to compact size and pleasant appearance, you should seriously approach the individual parameters of the kitchen device.

There are 2 types of mixers:

1. manual;
2. stationary.

The manual version is not equipped with a stand and a specialized bowl, the control is carried out directly by a person without automation.

Material

Nozzles for all models are made of high-quality metal alloys based on stainless steel.
The case of manual structures is mainly made of impact-resistant and high-quality plastic. The composition of individual additives may differ, in particular, individual ingredients provoke the presence of odor when heated strongly.

Metal cases are more reliable, but do not have the necessary lightness, such bases are used both on stationary units and on manual ones. They are not afraid of chips, scratches, cracks. Their cost is higher than their plastic designs.

Power

The process speed, fast torque depends on the parameter. Every housewife dreams of a reliable, light and fast device. With a declared power of 700 W, you can count on a quick completion of the whipping or kneading process. The budget class is more often represented by devices with a power in the range of 300-500 watts.
Additionally, we can talk about the good ability to knead the minced meat in a short period of time at a high voltage of the mixer.

Speeds and modes

A few decades ago, 2 speeds were the ultimate dream. Today we can talk about 4.5 and up to 7 speeds, with the obligatory turbo mode. The higher the speed, the shorter the period of time in which the engine can run without overheating, and therefore without danger of failure. Omelettes, mousses, creams, pancake compositions, dough and minced meats - the whole range of possibilities depends on various speed settings and attachments. A smooth start with a gradual increase in speed has become a novelty. The density of the consistency increases as it is whipped or kneaded, so it is important to maintain moderation in the initial liquid medium of the composition and gradually increase the effort as the viscosity increases.

The conclusion is unambiguous: many speeds - more opportunities.

Turbo mode is supplied with many modern models. In fact, the function is classified as necessary at the completion stage in order to remove inhomogeneous residues of the mixture. Usually the mode is activated for 20-30 seconds, longer activity is dangerous for mechanics.

The pulse mode is started and controlled by one button. The intensity depends on the pressing force, when the key is pressed, the work stops.

Ergonomics

One of the decisive criteria is a comfortable position in the hand, as well as lightness. Since the whipping process sometimes drags on for a long period of time, the rubberized handle also acts as an important point. The hand will not slip, and partial damping of vibration will complement the comfort.

Price

The price range has wide limits from several hundred rubles to 100,000 rubles in the professional segment. For home options, the upper price bar can be set at 10-15,000 rubles.

Equipment

The minimum number of nozzles is a set of 4 elements - several beaters and two dough hooks. It is preferable to have a glass with risks for measurements and a container for mixing. Extended equipment includes a nozzle for chopping food, but professionals believe that for this purpose every kitchen should have a blender.

For the preparation of puree, nozzles made of plastic with holes are used.
Designs adapted to the needs of confectionery provide for the presence of blades. It is this nozzle that is needed to obtain shortcrust pastry. Housewives use spatulas for mashed potatoes, mousses.
Professional-level equipment is additionally equipped with a sieve for flour preparation. Planetary models with an additional shaft are equipped with a meat grinder, which makes it possible to produce spaghetti and sausages.

Which company is better

The latest review analysis identified more than 50 hand mixer manufacturers whose offers can be found online and in specialty retail stores. There is a well-manifested trend of growing sales of kitchen appliances from little-known brands, but at a reasonable price. Experts say that in this category there are also high-quality models, but their percentage is small. To save money, reduce the risk of an unsuccessful purchase, it is better to overpay a little, but choose a trusted manufacturer.
Premium class is designated by such brands as:

• Moulinex;
• Brown;
• Bosch;
• Philips.

In the mid-price segment attract attention:

• Polaris;
• redmond;
• scarlett;
• VITEK.

Errors when choosing

For everyday manipulations in the kitchen from kneading minced meat and whipping cream for cakes, it is not necessary to purchase expensive appliances with elements such as an LCD display or a timer. Depending on the needs of the hostess, options with Turbo mode and a nozzle ejection button can be considered. The presence of a metal bowl in the kit is not always a priority, but can significantly affect the final cost.
