When it comes to kitchen gadgets, there's none we love using more during baking marathons than a hand mixer. With a smaller footprint than a traditional stand mixer, hand mixers are not only way more compact and versatile, they’re also generally much more affordable. Whether you're whisking eggs, mashing potatoes, or kneading dough for a batch of homemade treats, a hand mixer makes those repetitive tasks way easier.

What to Consider

Just like a good blender or coffee maker, a hand mixer should make your life in the kitchen easier, not more complicated. These are the main things to consider before you decide on the best hand mixer for you:

Weight

A hand mixer will spare your arm from the soreness of repetitive whipping, and may even result in a more thoroughly mixed batter. However, using a heavy mixer to work a tough dough may be just as arduous. Look for a hand mixer that's around 2 pounds, as it will likely have the power level that you'll want while also being less of a pain to maneuver.

Wattage

This number indicates the max amount of power that the mixer can provide. If you've ever experienced the painful sound of stuck beaters trying to churn through sticky batter, you'll know how much of a difference a powerful model can make. While not all manufacturers list this spec, you'll want a mixer that's in the range of 220 watts and above — especially if thick bread doughs and chocolate chip-loaded cookies are your specialties.

Storage Ease

The fact that hand mixers are relatively small kitchen devices makes them great for kitchens of pretty much any size. However, some actually come with snap-on covers that allow you to store their beaters and other attachments in one easy-to-find place. It may not be a dealbreaker if a model doesn't have these things, but it definitely sweetens the deal if you're trying to stay on top of your kitchen organization.

Nearly all hand mixers now come equipped with multiple speed controls, so this isn't something you need to worry too much about. The models in this guide have between five and nine settings.

How We Chose

Several of the hand mixers in this guide are longtime favorites of our team, and we've whipped up countless cookies, peanut butter brownies, focaccia, and banana bread batches with them. Other models are included because they've garnered rave online reviews from users who tout their design, power level, and special attachments as major plusses.

In our team’s testing, we focused on in-hand comfort, noise level, and general ease of use with each model. We’ve highlighted design features in these hand mixers that may not be immediately apparent when comparing specs online. To us, it’s important that any user can pick up one of these hand mixers and be able to immediately start using it. We also know that many people prefer hand mixers because they’re lightweight and easy to maneuver and store, so these were important criteria when considering which hand mixers to include in this guide.

8 top-rated hand mixers to upgrade your kitchen in 2022

If you do some light baking as a hobby or make the occasional treat while entertaining house guests, a hand mixer can be a useful kitchen gadget that lets you mix, combine and whip everything from cookie batter to icing and bread dough. And you’re not just limited to baking with a hand mixer: Like stand mixers — which are larger appliances that can withstand heavy duty mixing jobs — these tools can be used to shred chicken, mash potatoes and more. While these kitchen tools aren’t usually as strong as stand mixers, they’re an affordable and lightweight alternative that can perform similar functions.

SKIP AHEAD Best hand mixers

“Hand mixers are a great place to start for beginner bakers — they are low investment and they’re compact, which means they’re easy to store, travel with, and use compared to a much larger and heavier stand mixer,” said Katie Stymiest, a recipe developer and founder of Caked by Katie.

Most hand mixers have many of the same functions, though specific speed settings, attachments and other key features may vary. To help you find the right one for your baking needs, we’ve compiled some highly rated options from Select reader favorite brands at a variety of price points.

How to shop for a hand mixer

When shopping for a mixer, your first consideration should be the types of tasks you’ll be performing regularly. From there, you can determine whether you’ll need a simple hand mixer or a more advanced stand mixer. As Michelle Lettrich, a food blogger and creator of Brown Eyed Baker, pointed out in our guide to stand mixers: “If you don't anticipate making large batches of things, there is no reason to spring for a large mixer.”

Stymiest noted that hand mixers are best used for single batches of batter, such as cake, cupcakes and homemade whipped cream. However, if you’re stuck between a hand mixer and a stand mixer, she recommended considering how much physical labor you’ll want to dedicate when baking: A hand mixer needs to be held, while a stand mixer doesn’t need to move from the counter to do its job and can be left running while you do other activities in the kitchen.

According to Consumer Reports’ “Mixer Buying Guide,” there are a few key features you should pay attention to when shopping for a hand mixer:

• Speed: Hand mixers can have as many as 12 speed settings, with slow, medium and fast settings available depending on the mixture you’re making.
• Stability: Some hand mixers feature an indentation under the motor so it can easily rest on the edge of a bowl.
• Beaters and attachments: Typical types of beaters that come with a hand mixer include straight wire beaters and twisted wire beaters, while other attachments may include dough hooks and whisks.
• Storage: Some hand mixers offer built-in storage compartments that’ll let you store the beaters, attachments and the cord, making it even more compact for small settings.

Highly rated hand mixers to shop in 2022

To recommend the below hand mixers, we compiled a few highly rated options from Select reader favorite brands that we’ve previously covered. In line with our experts’ guidance, each of the following options includes multiple speed settings and attachments like beaters, dough hooks and whisks.

KitchenAid 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer

This KitchenAid hand mixer can be a good option for beginners who want to avoid the bells and whistles of a high-end mixer. It features five speeds ranging from a slow stirring motion to a speed fast enough for whipping heavy cream, according to the brand. It also comes with dishwasher-safe stainless steel beaters, and you can choose from multiple colors, including Aqua Sky and Empire Red. This mixer boasts a 4.7-star average rating from more than 13,300 reviews on Amazon.

Cuisinart 5-Speed Hand Mixer

Another good option for beginners, the Cuisinart 5-Speed Hand Mixer — which has a 4.6-star average rating from over 13,500 reviews on Amazon — offers easy-to-use speed control buttons and a heel rest to comfortably position the mixer on your counter, according to the brand. This hand mixer includes two extra-long beaters that are dishwasher-safe, and it also features a rotating swivel cord for both right- and left-handed use, Cuisinart says.

Breville Handy Mix Scraper

This high-tech option from Breville is equipped with electronic sensors that automatically adjust the speed based on the attachment you’re using to ensure consistent mixing, the brand says. It features nine speed settings and comes with two scrape beaters with a silicone tip for a quieter mixing experience, as well as pairs of dough hooks and balloon whisks for various mixing needs. It also includes a quick-release trigger to remove the included beaters, as well as a storage box to keep the attachments and cord in one place. The mixer earned a 4.7-star average rating from more than 2,100 reviews on Amazon.

Hamilton Beach Power Deluxe 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer

This affordable option from Hamilton Beach features six speeds, along with the brand’s “QuickBurst” function that adds extra power when needed. For storage, the hand mixer comes with a snap-on case in which you can store the attachments, which include two beaters and a whisk. The built-in groove also allows you to rest it on the bowl so there’s less mess, according to the brand. The mixer currently has a 4.6-star average rating from over 51,500 Amazon reviews.

Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Hand Mixer

Cuisinart’s nine-speed hand mixer is equipped with the brand’s “SmoothStart” function, which has three low-start speeds that can prevent splatters and messes when combining or whipping ingredients, the brand says. Like several other options on this list, the included attachments — two beaters, a chef's whisk, dough hooks and a spatula — can be stored in the clear, snap-on storage case, while the LED display allows you to adjust the speed at the touch of a button, Cuisinart says. This mixer currently has a 4.6-star average rating from over 13,500 Amazon shoppers.

KitchenAid Cordless 7 Speed Hand Mixer

If you’re looking for an electric hand mixer that won’t require you to untangle a cord, this one from KitchenAid has a rechargeable battery that allows it to be used multiple times before a light signals it’s time to recharge — the brand says the battery can recharge from empty to full in two hours or less. It offers seven speeds, including a slow stir for larger ingredients, medium for creaming butter and sugar, and a high speed option to whip heavy cream, according to KitchenAid.

Braun MultiMix Hand Mixer

The Braun MultiMix has nine speed settings to choose from, plus a Turbo option that can help mix tougher ingredients — and all speeds can be easily adjusted using a thumb-operated dial at the top of the device, according to the brand. It also comes with a pair of dough hooks and the brand’s MultiWhisk attachment, which Braun says works as both a whisk and a beater in one. The attachments are all dishwasher-safe and can be put away in the included storage bag.

Dash Smart Store Compact Hand Mixer

Another budget-friendly pick, this three-speed option from Dash is lightweight — weighing in at a little over 2 pounds — and compact enough to fit inside a standard kitchen drawer, according to the brand. It equips a one-touch eject button to remove the stainless steel beaters for easy clean-up, and the beaters clip to the side of the base once you’re done for simple and compact storage, Dash says. The mixer has a 4.5-star average rating from over 9,200 reviews on Amazon.

How to choose a hand mixer for your home?

To find out which kitchen hand mixer is best, our tips will help you. 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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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 while mixing. Speed ​​controls range from digital indicators with buttons to quick modes and lever mechanisms. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

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. nine0003

Manual models are usually guaranteed for a maximum of 1 year.
