5 Best Stand Mixers of 2022

We updated this article in April 2022 to ensure all pricing is accurate and all picks recommended by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab are in stock.


Using an electric mixer ensures light and airy cake layers, stretchy dough for homemade pizza and fluffy frosting that's velvety smooth — you can even use a stand mixer to shred chicken or make guacamole. Plus it's speedier (and easier on your arm!) than stirring a whisk around a bowl umpteen times. Unlike hand mixers, stand mixers free you up to do other tasks while they do the work. Some models even include handy stand mixer attachments you can buy separately that let you grind meat, roll pasta and spiralize vegetables.

The Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab has been reviewing stand mixers for decades. To put together this list of our top stand mixer recommendations, we spent more than 80 hours testing 13 models. When testing each stand mixer, our pros evaluate how well it can mix cake batter and cookie dough, knead bread dough and whip cream and egg whites. We also look at ease of use, checking the thoroughness of the owner's manual, how you assemble the beaters and mixing bowl, whether the controls are simple and, of course, how easy each mixer is to clean. Our picks include the top performers in our most recent Lab tests.
