Soon­er or lat­er, every per­son who is pas­sion­ate about cook­ing pays atten­tion to a home mix­er. One of the old­est house­hold appli­ances that has gone through many changes, but which is still pop­u­lar all over the world. Although ini­tial­ly it was not the most afford­able thing — bulky and expen­sive. Today, this device is made as ergonom­ic as pos­si­ble, and its price is quite ade­quate.

Kom­so­mol­skaya Prav­da has pre­pared a rat­ing of the best home mix­ers and shares it with read­ers. We talk about pop­u­lar mod­els, pub­lish aver­age prices and give advice on choos­ing a device.

Top 18 best home mixers in 2022 according to KP

1. KitchenAid 5KHM9212E

Maybe for some­one it will be a dis­cov­ery, but among the mix­ers there are pre­mi­um prod­ucts. This one is bold­ly placed in the rank­ing of the best for the home. Although its price seems too high, we assure you that you have not yet seen prices for the plan­e­tary form fac­tor mod­el — six times more! Let’s fig­ure out what that kind of mon­ey is for. First, it is “made in USA”. Sec­ond­ly, all the ele­ments are exe­cut­ed sim­ply hyper-qual­i­ty. The mix­er has nine speeds and with each accord­ing to the instruc­tions you need to use your own noz­zles. Yes, there are not two of them, but not nine either. Let’s count — a pair of Tur­bo whisks, a pair of dough hooks, a 16-wire whisk, a rod for whisk­ing cock­tails and sauces. To fit it all, the set includes a case.

The speeds here are not just for des­ig­na­tion on the body. Buy­ers write that the dif­fer­ence is real­ly notice­able. That is, suit­able for dis­cern­ing culi­nary spe­cial­ists.

4. Gemlux GL-SM5.2

Anoth­er plan­e­tary mix­er for the home. Very sim­i­lar to the pre­vi­ous mod­el, only cheap­er. There are mod­els in black or gray plas­tic ele­ments. It kneads yeast and yeast-free dough, mashed pota­toes, minced meat, eggs and oth­er culi­nary sets. There are six speed set­tings on the con­troller. If the mode is “pulse”: the device beats at a fran­tic speed, for short seg­ments. Also includ­ed is a remov­able 5 liter stain­less steel bowl. It is pos­si­ble to close the lid made of plas­tic. The man­u­fac­tur­er assures that the coat­ing will not fade over time. This is impor­tant so that each time you do not open the mech­a­nism, but see the con­sis­ten­cy through the glass. The dri­ve and noz­zles are made of met­al, with­out the addi­tion of plas­tic ele­ments, which in the­o­ry should extend the ser­vice life. At the bot­tom there are rub­ber noz­zles so that the mix­er does not jump on the coun­ter­top.

ten. Moulinex HM 411110

The device went to the peo­ple: they right­ly say so when they start sell­ing some house­hold appli­ances even in super­mar­kets. This one is just one of those. For some rea­son, the brand posi­tions it as an acces­so­ry for bak­ing fans. But in fact, this is a full-fledged mix­er for the home. In addi­tion to the stan­dard whisks and hooks, the kit comes with a nice bonus — the attach­ment of an immer­sion blender. So you can grind nuts, make a smooth­ie or puree soup. But we ask you not to expe­ri­ence illu­sions about the qual­i­ty of this part of the device. The pow­er for a hand­held device is stan­dard. It is reg­u­lat­ed by the tog­gle switch on the top han­dle in five posi­tions. Sep­a­rate­ly, there is a tur­bo but­ton to imme­di­ate­ly give max­i­mum speed. It is enough to, for exam­ple, knead a thick dough for bread. There is also a mea­sur­ing cup in the kit — a nec­es­sary thing in the kitchen, besides, you can work with an immer­sion blender in it.

11. Pioneer MX322

Pio­neer’s ele­gant Plan­e­tary Mix­er is a state-of-the-art device for the home cook. Three noz­zles — three main func­tions: the whisk whips the cream to a thick cream, the hook even­ly kneads the yeast and yeast-free dough, and the spat­u­la thor­ough­ly mix­es the ingre­di­ents. To change the noz­zle, the head of the device must be tilt­ed.

The steel bowl holds up to five liters of prod­ucts, it is cov­ered with a lid on top with a hole for adding ingre­di­ents. The mix­er sup­ports six modes of oper­a­tion.

12. Philips HR3745/00 Viva Collection

And again, a mix­er for the home, in the mar­ket­ing pic­ture of which the man­u­fac­tur­er focus­es on bak­ing fans. Say, helps to pre­pare mag­nif­i­cent pies. Adver­tis­ing aside: let’s fig­ure out what kind of kitchen assis­tant we have in front of us. Strict­ly speak­ing, this is an eco­nom­i­cal ver­sion of the plan­e­tary mix­er. Pow­er — as man­u­al. It can even be seen that he is essen­tial­ly stand­ing here, only fixed on a plat­form that ris­es up and down. Sec­ond­ly, the vol­ume of the bowl is three liters. For some it will be enough. Often in reviews of mod­els with large vol­umes they write that the beat­ers do not reach the bot­tom and edges. The bowl itself is made of plas­tic, which, to be hon­est, does not look very pre­sentable. Pow­er is con­trolled by a five-speed switch. There is also a tur­bo mode. The local rims are slight­ly angu­lar in shape. The man­u­fac­tur­er attrib­ut­es to them the prop­er­ties to sat­u­rate the dough with oxy­gen.

13. Smeg SMF01

If not for two sig­nif­i­cant “buts”, this plan­e­tary mix­er would be a must-have. And so let him close our review. About the first nuance, we think, guessed from the title — the price. What to do: Ital­ian brand. True, the assem­bly is now in Chi­na. Sec­ond is the weight. From place to place once again you will not drag. This mix­er, as planned, should be placed in a large spa­cious kitchen and not moved. If it meets your con­di­tions, then you can buy. We scold­ed, now we will praise. Just like a sophis­ti­cat­ed retro design. Next, we note high-qual­i­ty met­al and plas­tic. The vol­ume of the bowl is 4.8 liters. There is a cov­er. When the mech­a­nism is raised, the switch-on lock is acti­vat­ed. That is, even if acci­den­tal­ly pressed, the blades will not start to rotate and do not spray the com­po­nents. Ten speeds are avail­able to users. What is inter­est­ing, whichev­er you choose, every­one starts with a smooth start and grad­u­al­ly rush to their lim­it. Buy­ers note the low noise lev­el.

14 Polaris PHM 3013

The case if you need a mix­er for the home, but not that often, and it’s a pity for the mon­ey for it. Then you can buy this inex­pen­sive device. Avail­able in cream and white. Retro-inspired design. Com­plete set is quite stan­dard — beat­ers, dough hooks. The device is not very pow­er­ful. But once again we repeat that beat­ing eggs or a not very tight dough will be enough. Users are offered two main modes of oper­a­tion. First man­u­al: clas­sic speed selec­tion from first to fourth. The sec­ond is tur­bo mode, just imme­di­ate­ly turn­ing on at full pow­er. Corol­las are pulled out of the nests at the touch of a but­ton.

15. Braun HM 1010 MultiMix 1

The Braun Hand Mix­er is a com­pact yet func­tion­al kitchen assis­tant. It is very sim­ple and easy to use. The pack­age includes a min­i­mal­is­tic plas­tic case and two pairs of inter­change­able stain­less steel noz­zles.

Whisks help to beat liq­uid prod­ucts to a dense con­sis­ten­cy, and hooks help to knead elas­tic dough. The device sup­ports four speeds that can be adjust­ed with a light touch. The device does not take up much space in the kitchen and fits well into almost any inte­ri­or.

16. STARWIND SPM7161/7167/7169

Tran­si­tion class device: at the junc­tion of a mix­er for the home and a pro­fes­sion­al unit. For those who are full of cook­ing and want to try a pow­er­ful device, but are not ready to pay for a cool device. This plan­e­tary mix­er for the home is avail­able in two col­ors: ivory and turquoise. The device has a bowl of increased capac­i­ty — 5.5 liters. Pow­er is reg­u­lat­ed by six speeds. The man­u­fac­tur­er adds a small bonus to the stan­dard equip­ment in the form of hooks, whisks and a flat noz­zle — a sil­i­cone spat­u­la. In prin­ci­ple, this inex­pen­sive acces­so­ry can be bought any­way, but a nice lit­tle thing. It will be con­ve­nient to scrape adher­ing ingre­di­ents from the walls of the bowl. By the way, the cov­er that is put on top to pro­tect against splash­es is not trans­par­ent here, but sil­i­cone. For some, it may be a minus that the con­tent is not vis­i­ble. At the bot­tom of the device are rub­ber knobs for fix­ing.

17. VITEK VT-1441

Anoth­er plan­e­tary mix­er for the home in the list of the best, which com­pares favor­ably with com­peti­tors in two ways. The first is a real­ly afford­able price. The sec­ond one weighs only three kilos. And yes, he has the pow­er. The com­plete bowl holds five liters of liq­uid. Like oth­er mod­els, it is made of stain­less steel. The rotary mech­a­nism on the side face is respon­si­ble for adjust­ing the speed. Six pow­er modes are avail­able. When the mix­er is clicked into place, ready for action, there is a hole in the lid of the bowl for adding ingre­di­ents. But it is not very free — add a max­i­mum of sug­ar, flour. The rest will be more dif­fi­cult. Noz­zles change at the touch of a but­ton. The device is good, but not with­out reser­va­tions. Plas­tic draws atten­tion — obvi­ous­ly inex­pen­sive. Some buy­ers com­plain about an unpleas­ant smell that does not go away for months. Sec­ond­ly, they scold him for his pow­er. They say it is declared high, but in fact it can­not cope with thick dough and can com­plete­ly burn out from over­heat­ing. But the prob­lem is not mas­sive, obvi­ous­ly the loss of pow­er occurs from device to device.

18. CENTEK CT-1106

The mix­er of sta­tion­ary type CENTEK CT-1106 copes with a large num­ber of tasks. It can whip and bring to a homo­ge­neous con­sis­ten­cy var­i­ous ingre­di­ents, such as dough, cream, eggs. On the han­dle of the device is a spe­cial speed con­troller that allows you to set the desired pace of work.

The whisk attach­ment is great for whip­ping, while the extra pair of hook attach­ments are great for knead­ing dough. The rotat­ing bowl of the mod­el is made of durable plas­tic. It holds up to three liters of the mix­ture.

How to choose a mixer

Hand or stand mixer?

Mix­ers are man­u­al and sta­tion­ary. Man­u­al mod­els have a com­pact size and low pow­er (200–500 W). They are ide­al for small por­tions and infre­quent use.

Sta­tion­ary mix­ers — a great option for large fam­i­lies and lovers of home bak­ing. They have high pow­er (800‑1000 W), but such devices usu­al­ly cost sev­er­al times more than man­u­al ones.

Bowls and attachments

Mix­er bowls and attach­ments can be made from a vari­ety of mate­ri­als. Ide­al­ly they should be made from thick stain­less steel, then the parts will be easy to remove and wash. In addi­tion, met­al com­po­nents will last much longer than plas­tic ones.

Number of speeds and attachments

Anoth­er fac­tor that is impor­tant to pay atten­tion to when choos­ing a mix­er is the num­ber of speeds and attach­ments. The more of them, the more func­tion­al the device should be. But you also need to remem­ber that the num­ber of noz­zles, as well as the declared high pow­er, can only be adver­tis­ing tricks: try to study reviews before buy­ing or watch video reviews.

It is also nec­es­sary to check whether the mix­er bowl clos­es tight­ly (we are talk­ing about a sta­tion­ary type) or not. If the lid is miss­ing, the con­tents will slosh or spill out dur­ing oper­a­tion, espe­cial­ly at high speeds.
