7 Best Hand Mixers for 2023
We updated this story in December 2022 to ensure all picks tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab were available, in stock and correctly priced.
If you love to bake but don’t have the space for a full stand mixer (or if you just don’t feel like pulling it out), a handheld electric mixer is just the thing for whipping up an easy baking recipe or your family’s favorite holiday dessert. A hand mixer is an important tool for home cooks and bakers because of its versatility: It’ll whip, blend and mix a variety of foods, including everything from mashed potatoes to buttercream frosting to egg whites. It can also make a great gift for a new baker looking to get into more serious recipes who might not want to splurge on a pricey stand mixer.
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab, we’ve tested 22 models of hand mixers over the years in the Lab and at home and run them through a range of tasks. While testing mixers, we assess their performance beating egg whites, whipping cream and mixing cookie dough, as well as how easy it is to use the mixers, change their attachments and clean them.

How we test hand mixers
During our most recent test in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab, we assessed the variety of speeds, the ease of attaching the beaters, the comfort level when holding the hand mixer and how easy it was the use the controls and clean the mixer.
We tested 22 hand mixers in the Lab and at home by mixing oatmeal cookie dough, beating yellow cake mix, kneading white bread dough and whipping egg whites and heavy cream.
We also consulted online reviews to see which hand mixers consumers love, in addition to which ones they have difficulty with. When making our picks, we also considered how intuitive each model was to use, as well as ergonomics and any useful features and included attachments.
What to look for when shopping for a hand mixer
✔️Comfort: Since you’ll be holding up the hand mixer for an extended period of time, a heavy mixer can tire your arm out quickly. Look for lighter mixers with a comfortable grip. We suggest shopping in person and lifting and holding the hand mixers on display, if possible.
✔️Accessories: All hand mixers come with detachable beaters, but only some models include other attachments, such as whisks or dough hooks.
Although additional attachments do usually increase the price of the model, they give your hand mixer more uses.
✔️Cord vs. cordless: If you’re short on outlets in your kitchen, or if they’re in inconvenient locations, you may want to consider a cordless hand mixer. You do have to remember to charge them regularly, but they allow for ease of use by both right- and left-handed people. If you’d rather not leave your hand mixer on a charger, you can look for a model with a swivel cord so it stays out of the way.
✔️Storage: Extra accessories are nice to have, but they can get lost in drawers easily. Then, before you know it, you only have one beater hanging around. Look for models with storage options, like a bag, to keep all of the pieces together. If you’re looking to save space, some models have snap-on storage cases to house the accessories with the mixer so they’re all in the same place when you need them.

The Best Hand Mixers of 2023
Serious Eats / Donna Curie
Straight to the Point
Our favorite hand mixer is the Breville Handy Mix Scraper Hand Mixer, which is powerful and easy to use and even has a built-in timer. We also liked the KitchenAid 9-Speed Digital Hand Mixer. It's more affordable and still performs pretty well.
We rarely recommend hand mixers at Serious Eats. Stella Parks says it best: "There's nothing hand mixers can do specifically that a stand mixer can't."
But stand mixers are expensive, an investment that not all home cooks can make, even if they want to. Hand mixers, on the other hand, are mostly affordable; they're also useful for simple tasks like whipping cream or egg whites and mixing cake batter. Plus, they’re lighter weight and easier to store.
We tested seven different hand mixers and compared their performance to a stand mixer's to find the very best.
The Winners, at a Glance

When it comes to hand mixers, you get what you pay for. The Breville was the most expensive of the lot, and with that price came a sturdy machine, sturdy accessories, and good performance.
The Best (More) Affordable Hand Mixer: KitchenAid 9-Speed Digital Hand Mixer

There’s a lot about this mixer to like. With its single large whisk it was marginally faster than our top pick at whipping cream, and did a decent job creaming butter and sugar.
The Criteria: What We Look for in a Good Hand Mixer
Serious Eats / Donna Curie / Grace Kelly
- 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. More speeds make the transition from lowest to highest smoother. 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.
- Attachments: Some mixers included whisks, frothers, dough hooks, and other attachments for added versatility.
While some of them are useful, we do not recommend using the dough whisk attachment with any mixer. - Storage: Some of the mixers had cases or pouches for easier storage, which we liked.
- Wattage: Wattage is a measurement of power. 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.
- Comfort: You'll want a machine that's comfortable to grip and hold for long periods of time.
- Noise level: Motors can be noisy or whiny (or even shriek-y). The best hand mixers are quieter.
Hand Mixers vs. Stand Mixers
Our favorite stand mixer from KitchenAid.Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik
A hand mixer is never going to be a substitute for a stand mixer, any more than a toaster oven can do everything a home oven can do. Some people will want a hand mixer and a toaster oven.
Others won’t.
Stella explains it well. “Perhaps because of my background in restaurants, I see stand mixers as performing a fundamentally different task and enabling a different style of baking. They allow bakers to work with ratios of sugar to egg or butter to sugar that aren't practical to work with by hand, or with a hand mixer. They also allow bakers to work with larger batch sizes overall.”
This Is the Best Stand Mixer You Can Buy
Even though she doesn’t like hand mixers in general, she does admit they have their uses, “I don't see hand mixers and stand mixers performing the same task, philosophically. Hand mixers, to me, are convenience devices that make the work we might traditionally do by hand a bit easier, like whipping a French meringue, making mayo, or whipping cream.”
How We Picked the Products in the Review
To determine which machines we wanted to test, we looked at brands we already know and trust, while taking into account testing and reviews from other reputable publications.
Why You Should Trust Us
Tests were performed using precise measurements in a controlled environment. Everything was measured, evaluated, tested, and examined without any bias toward brands or models.
The Testing
Test 1: Whipping Cream
Serious Eats / Donna Currie
In this test, I mixed a cup of cream with a tablespoon of granulated sugar and whipped the mixture to soft, medium, and stiff peaks. I checked the cream to see if the sugar was entirely incorporated or if the mixture was gritty. The best models whipped cream to soft peaks in one minute 20 seconds or less, while one of the lower performing models took nearly three minutes.
| Model | Time to Soft Peaks | Time to Medium Peaks | Time to Stiff Peaks |
| Runner Up: Breville BHM800SIL Handy Mix Scraper | 1:20 | 1:42 | 2:11 |
| Hamilton Beach Soft Scrape | 2:50 | 3:10 | 3:30 |
| Winner: KitchenAid 9- Speed | 1:12 | 1:39 | 2:00 |
| KitchenAid 5-speed | 2:37 | 2:59 | 3:41 |
| Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-speed | 2:00 | 2:20 | 2:40 |
| Braun Multi Mix 9-speed | 1:25 | 1:46 | 2:04 |
| Black and Decker Helix | 1:46 | 1:57 | 2:04 |
Test 2: Making Cookies
Serious Eats / Donna Curie
This test offered multiple scenarios where a mixer could succeed or fail (spectacularly).
First, I checked to see if the mixer could cream butter and sugar well. Did it merely mix or did it aerate the ingredients to produce a light and fluffy texture? Then I noted how well the mixer could handle the mixture after adding flour and large chunks of chocolate. Did it slow down or burn out? Finally, I baked the cookies and examined their final texture.
The top models in this test were capable of creaming butter and sugar well (though no hand mixer was able to get the mixture very light and fluffy, as a stand mixer could) and did a good job of mixing big chunks of chocolate into the dough. However, only our top pick from Breville was able to thoroughly scrape down the sides of the bowl, incorporating all of the ingredients, thanks to its rubber-bottomed beaters.
| Model | How well does it cream the butter and sugar? (From 0-5, 5 = very light and fluffy. ) | How does it manage the bigger chunks of chocolate? (From 0-5, 5 = excellent job.) | Is the beater scraping the sides and getting everything incorporated? (From 0-5, 5 = mixer scraped sides without issue.) |
| Winner: Breville BHM800SIL Handy Mix Scraper | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| Runner Up: Hamilton Beach Soft Scrape | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| Runner Up: KitchenAid 9-speed | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| KitchenAid 5-speed | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| Runner Up: Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-speed | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| Braun Multi Mix 9-speed | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| Black and Decker Helix | 2 | 2 | 3 |
Test 3: Making Meringue
Serious Eats / Donna Currie
The final challenge was making Swiss meringue, testing the mixers’ ability to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.
Spoiler alert: None of them succeeded. I looked up troubleshooting instructions online, and I was still unable to get anything beyond soft peaks.
Some of the mixers achieved soft peaks after about five minutes, but then the progress stopped and the volume and texture began to decline. After each failure, I transferred the mixture to the stand mixture to verify that it was the mixer and not the mixture. The stand mixer had no problem getting each mixture to stiff peaks.
User Experience
| Model | Comfort (From 0-5, 5 = most comfortable) | Easy to add/remove attachments (From 0-5, 5 = very easy) | Can it stand up on its own? (Yes/No) | Easy to store (From 0-5, 5 = very easy) | Noise level measured in decibels |
| Winner: Breville BHM800SIL Handy Mix Scraper Hand Mixer, Silver | 4 | 5 | yes | 5 | 90-105 |
| Hamilton Beach | 3 | 3 | yes | 5 | 90-95 |
| Runner Up: KitchenAid 9-Speed | 4 | 4 | yes | 4 | 70-75 |
| KitchenAid 5-speed | 4 | 3 | yes | 3 | 95-102 |
| Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-speed | 4 | 4 | yes | 3 | 94-98 with whining sound |
| Braun Multi Mix 9-speed | 0 | 4 | yes | 4 | 95-107 with squealing sound |
| Black and Decker Helix | 4 | 3 | yes | 5 | 95-105 high-pitched sound |
I assessed each hand mixer for how easy and comfortable it was to use while also taking into consideration whether they were easy to store.
Our top two picks outperformed all their competitors, especially the Braun and Black and Decker mixers, which both produced loud, irritating sounds while operating.
The Best Hand Mixer: Breville Handy Mix Scraper Hand Mixer
Buy on Amazon Buy on Walmart Buy on Breville.com
What we liked: If you compare the charts above, you'll see that the Breville blew away most of the competition, whipping cream and creaming butter and sugar with ease. Along with great power, the mixer has a few other features that make it stand out from the crowd. First, it has a light that shines into the mixing bowl. While my kitchen is well lit, the focused light is nice. Second, and probably my favorite feature, is the pause button. It let me stop the mixer to check progress, and then it restarted at the same speed, but with a soft start. Third, it has a timer, so I could see how much time had elapsed. Fourth, it comes with a case for easily storing its attachments. Finally, the mixer has sturdy wires on the beaters with soft scrape bottoms for less noise and better bowl scraping.
What we didn’t like: This was the second-heaviest mixer of the bunch, despite its compact size. When attempting Swiss meringue, this never got further than soft peaks.

The Best (More) Affordable Hand Mixer: Kitchenaid 9-Speed
Buy on Amazon Buy on Walmart Buy on Build.com
What we liked: A solid performer, this KitchenAid model did a great job with whipped cream and a decent job with cookie dough. It comes with a storage pouch instead of a case, which will save a little bit of space. Along with the usual accessories, it came with a frother that worked well to create a frothy hot chocolate. It was also the quietest of the bunch, measuring at just 70-75 decibels.
What we didn’t like: When attempting Swiss meringue, the mixer could only produce a thick goo. While making cookies, it bucked a little when it encountered large chocolate chunks.

The Competition
- Hamilton Beach Soft Scrape: This mixer came in last place in the whipped cream test. The lowest speed wasn't all that low, making it a splatter hazard with the cream.
- Kitchenaid 5-Speed: This machine struggled throughout most of the tests and even started making weird sounds when I tried to make Swiss meringue. It also includes beaters, not whisks.
- Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9 Speed: This one was almost a winner. It was comfortable to use, but a bit slow with whipping cream.
Plus, it was hard to fit all the parts in the storage case. - Braun Multi Mix 9 Speed: This mixer was uncomfortable to hold, and squealed noisily when in use.
- Black and Decker Helix: This mixer tended to fling and splatter ingredients. It was also quite noisy and failed to scrape the sides of the bowl.
FAQs
What's the quietest hand mixer?
In our tests, the KitchenAid 9-speed hand mixer was the quietest mixer.
What's the difference between a hand mixer and a hand blender?
Hand mixers are great for whipping cream, mixing cake batter, and similar tasks, while a hand blender is, well, a blender, but without a base or jar. It’s used for blending soups right in a pot, for blending refried beans, and for making mayonnaise or emulsifying salad dressings. You can read our review of the best hand blenders (also called immersion blenders) here.
What's the difference between a hand mixer and a stand mixer?
A stand mixer is a countertop appliance that’s heavy and powerful.
It can knead bread and mix dense cookie dough, and it can also whip egg whites and cream. A hand mixer is small, lightweight, and easier to store. It can do some of the same things as a stand mixer, but won’t hold up to the most heavy duty tasks.
Can I use a whisk instead of a hand mixer?
For certain applications, like whipping whipped cream, a balloon whisk can absolutely be used instead of a hand mixer. For others, like creaming together butter and sugar for cakes or cookies, you really want the power a hand mixer or stand mixer offers.

How to choose a hand mixer and what to look for?
The main selection criteria are as follows:
- Equipment and accessories . All hand mixers are equipped with whipping attachments and a central stand for attaching beaters. In addition, current 2022-2023 models contain double and single whisks that are suitable for whipping egg whites or puree.
- Power . The more powerful the hand mixer, the less effort you need to make to whip the products. That is, you need to accurately determine the scope of the device. The average power of hand mixers is considered to be the range of 200-350 watts. Devices with less power are impractical and are practically not found on sale.
- Body material . Most hand mixers for the kitchen are made of durable plastic. When choosing, pay attention to the quality of the coating and impact resistance. High-quality case material will be resistant to scratches and mechanical damage. It should not leave fingerprints or water stains.
- Speed and control . The standard range of speed of rotation of the working elements is considered to be from 5 to 10. It should be borne in mind that a high speed combines the ability to control the intensity of mixing the product, while for a small one this possibility is limited. Control is usually represented by indicator lights, buttons, quick modes or digital gears.
- Weight and comfort . Hand mixers are designed specifically with lightweight motors and gears. Such devices always have a convenient design for manual grip. Some models can be stable on a flat surface. Other modern mixers are equipped with curved, curved handles, pads, and more.
- Storage space . Manufacturers provide for the possibility of careful storage. Since the device is compact, this does not create problems. Bags, ergonomic cases with hard walls or snap-on bases are popular.
- Colors and Warranty . Standard colors of hand mixers are black, white, grey. But, sometimes there are multi-colored models on sale, bright, dark or other trendy options. The warranty period for hand mixers is approximately 1 year for all devices.

How to choose a hand mixer for your home?
Find out which hand mixer is best for your kitchen with our tips. Here's what you should know and consider.
Accessories and accessories
All hand mixers are supplied with beaters. Classically, nozzles of this type have a central rack around which beaters are attached. Now most whipping elements are made of wire, so they are easier to clean.
Some whisking elements can be reinforced with nylon or coated with silicone so that they can be conveniently mixed near the edges without scratching the bowl in the process. Some models are also equipped with a whisk for whipping cream or egg whites. There is usually one whisk attachment included, although there are also kits that come with double whisks for faster whipping.
Many hand mixers come with dough attachments. But it is definitely not the best option when it comes to kneading dough. Yes, they can make a tiny amount of soft cinnamon bun dough, but be careful not to dip the nozzles too deep into the thick dough.
Power
The average power of hand mixers is between 200 and 350 watts. Devices less than 200W are not powerful, so they are likely to fail much sooner than more powerful counterparts.
The more powerful the mixer, the less effort you will need, so think carefully about what you are going to use the mixer for.
Speeds and controls
Mixer speeds vary from 5 to 10. The more speeds your mixer has, the wider the range of adjustment you will get when mixing. Speed controls range from digital indicators with buttons to quick modes and lever mechanisms.
Mixers with low or slow start (or multiple low speeds) are incredibly useful. A cloud of flour or cocoa powder flying out of your bowl the moment you turn on the mixer is not the best way to start cooking something. For a little extra power, many mixers come with a "Turbo" button that helps you break through tight spots in the dough or quickly bring the mixture to a smooth consistency.
Whisks and attachments are usually released with a button or lever. Some mixers are equipped with a timer or counter for easy tracking of mixing time and accurate results.
Comfort and weight
The comfort and weight of a hand mixer is as important as any other feature - after all, you keep the device on the weight.
Hand mixers are specially designed with lightweight motors and gears. These mixers are also ergonomically designed for a comfortable and secure grip. Curved handles with non-slip, soft or silicone grips make it easy to use. Some can also stand securely on a flat surface when you need it.
Storage
Almost all quality hand mixers these days have storage accessories. The most popular consists of a snap-on base that houses all the attachments and the power cord, with the body on top. This saves us from the hassle of finding lost attachments and allows us to store everything in a more convenient way. Other solutions offer a bag or case.
Color and Warranty
Usually hand mixers come in white, black or silver, but some brands also offer a variety of bright color options to match your kitchen.
Manual models are usually guaranteed for a maximum of 1 year.
