8 Best Hand Mixers for 2022
We updated this story in August 2022 to ensure all picks tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab were available, in stock and correctly priced.
Less expensive and more compact than a stand mixer, a handheld electric mixer is just the thing for whipping up an easy baking recipe or your favorite holiday dessert. A hand mixer is an important tool for any home cook or baker because it will whip, blend and mix a variety of foods — everything from mashed potatoes to buttercream frosting to egg whites.
While an immersion blender, food processor and blender can perform similar tasks to a hand mixer, like whipping eggs or emulsifying a dressing, there are still plenty of tasks that a hand mixer does best.
Beating up light and fluffy frosting is just the beginning of what you can do with this tool. With a hand mixer, you can whip heavy cream and coconut milk into a fluffy coconut whipped cream to top coconut cream pie, create glossy soft peaks of egg whites for rainbow meringue sandwiches or cream butter and sugar for pumpkin spice cupcake batter.

How we test hand mixers
During our most recent test in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab, we tested 22 hand mixers in the Lab and at home.
We mixed oatmeal cookie dough, beat yellow cake mix, kneaded white bread and whipped up egg whites and heavy cream. We assessed overall quality, variety of speeds, the ease of attaching the beaters, the comfort of holding hand mixers, the ease of using the controls and the cleanability.
We also consulted online reviews to see which hand mixers consumers were loving or having difficulties with. When making our picks, we also considered how intuitive each model was to use, as well as ergonomics and any useful features or included attachments.
What to consider when shopping for a hand mixer
✔️Comfort: A heavy hand mixer can tire your hand quickly. Look for lighter hand mixers with a comfortable grip if you intend on hand mixing a lot of recipes. We suggest going to a store to try lifting and holding the hand mixers on display, if possible. We recommend lightweight models like KitchenAid Cordless Hand Mixer or Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Handheld Mixer.
✔️Accessories: All hand mixers come with detachable beaters, but only some hand mixers include with detachable whisks, dough hooks or even an immersion blender attachment. While additional attachments may make a model more expensive, they will give your hand mixer additional uses. It's also helpful to look for a hand mixer that comes with a storage container to house all the accessories so that you don’t lose any of the attachments between uses.
✔️Cord vs cordless: If you don’t have easy access to outlets in your kitchen, you may want to consider a cordless hand mixer. While you do have to remember to charge it regularly, a cordless model (or a swivel-cord model) allows ease of use by both right-handed and left-handed people.

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 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 kitchen mixer
Choosing a kitchen mixer that will do its job well for a long time, you should study the main technical parameters of the models and determine the purpose of use.
Type
📌 The hand tools are effective for whipping small volumes of mixtures or liquids. They are distinguished by lightness, compactness, low power consumption, ease of use. The advantages will be the presence of 1-2 nozzles in the configuration, as well as the low price, and the disadvantages are low power and narrow functionality.
📌 Stationary models require no user intervention. You need to place the products in the container, insert the nozzles and press the button.
Such a device is distinguished by high power, as well as the ability to cope even with steep dough. Among the shortcomings - noise during operation, heavy weight, rather high price.
📌 In planetary mixers , the nozzle not only rotates around its axis, but also moves in a circle - like the Moon around the Earth. This helps to whip products almost perfectly. Such models often perform the functions of a meat grinder, grater, vegetable cutter. They are distinguished by power, reliability, speed. However, they are expensive, need a separate space in the kitchen and are very noisy.
Power
This parameter characterizes the quality and speed of processing different products. The more powerful the device, the longer it can work without overheating . In addition, more powerful mixers cope with more solid and viscous products, because it's one thing to beat egg whites, quite another to knead the dough. Stationary models, in comparison with manual ones, are more powerful (for manual ones, this characteristic does not exceed 400 W, for stationary ones - 1000 W).
Number of speeds and switching method
The mixer can have 2-10 operating modes. Best option for domestic use will be a manual model with 3-4 working speeds . You should also focus on speed control - it can be discrete or smooth. In the second case, the regulator rotates smoothly, and the speed can be fine-tuned to suit your needs.
A convenient option is the gradual start. The mixers equipped with it do not accelerate the whisk instantly, but smoothly and gradually, which prevents products from splashing.
Attachments and their number
The more attachments in the set, the more tasks the mixer performs. A great option would be to buy a device with 4 nozzles that have a different shape. The most reliable, stainless steel models are durable and easy to clean. Interacting with products, the material will not emit harmful substances.
Protection functions
For safe application, the design is complemented by the option of soft start of the motor and protection against splashing of products.
Overload protection in auto mode turns off the mixer in case of overheating and eliminates engine damage. In addition, most models provide protection against voltage surges, from children.
Control
Modern developers offer 2 types of control - electronic and mechanical. The second option is reliable and convenient. The touchpad is easier to care for, has a modern and stylish look, but if it breaks, it will cost more to repair.
Bowl included
The mixer bowl makes the job much easier. It is possible to load products for mixing into it, turn on the device, and it will work by itself. When choosing the volume of the bowl, the needs of the family should be taken into account. When you have to cook in small volumes and infrequently, then a 2-3 liter model will do. For a large family, a 5-6 liter bowl would be better. The best are stainless steel bowls: they are distinguished by durability and strength. They can also be washed in the dishwasher.
Plastic models will cost less. You can also find bowls made of glass. They are stylish and eco-friendly, but have a lot of weight and low strength.
Rotary bowl
An appliance with this function ensures high-quality mixing of products. This will allow you to quickly and efficiently mix the ingredients of a liquid and viscous consistency, which are necessary for the preparation of dishes with a complex composition.
Housing material
It affects the durability of the entire structure, so it is important to choose carefully. The best option is metal, aluminum or stainless steel. However, good plastic is not inferior to metal in its performance characteristics, but it costs and weighs much less. The plastic case is prone to deformation, but if it is supplemented with metal inserts, this will extend its service life.
Equipment
The simplest models are usually equipped with only a couple of nozzles: spirals and whisks.
This is enough to knead the dough and beat the eggs. A set of expensive products can include whisks, spirals, cutting knives, hooks, and a rotating bowl. You can also buy circular knives, cutting for vegetables, a knife for meat.
FAQ
Why is the planetary mixer called that?
The Planetary Mixer is a professional kitchen tool that effectively whips and kneads ingredients. Unlike manual and stationary devices, such a model can effectively cope with any test.
The principle of its functioning determines the name. If in conventional mixers only whisks rotate around the axis, thanks to which mixing / whipping occurs, then everything is different. In the planetary, the nozzles rotate around the axis, as well as the entire platform. The planets revolve around the Sun in a similar way, which determined this name.
Can a kitchen mixer be used instead of a construction mixer? For mixing paint, for example?
The mixer is an electrical appliance designed for mixing dissimilar masses.
By appointment, such devices are kitchen and construction. A building model will be required to mix the paint, but those available on the market can be oversized and costly. Of course, the whisk will not cope with too thick mixtures, but with compositions of medium density - yes. Therefore, if you have a worn out whisk that you were going to throw away, you can safely use it to mix a small amount of paint. But for any global construction work, a kitchen mixer is definitely not suitable.
What is better to buy for the kitchen: a mixer or a blender?
Blender and mixer - devices that are designed to solve similar, but at the same time different tasks. The mixer will help you beat the thick cream for the cake, mix the products for homemade mayonnaise, and knead the dough.
The blender, with its rotating blades, first grinds and then mixes the food. However, he is also able to beat eggs, but it is the mixer that makes the mixer work much better.
It is desirable, of course, to have both devices and choose the one that is more needed.
