Not only is the hand mixer a total time-saver, it’s also an affordable, easy to use and incredibly flexible cooking tool. Switch from whisking eggs to mixing cake batter with just the flick of a wrist. Coming in all shapes and sizes, today’s hand mixers have come a long way since the bulky electric beaters of the past. Which is best for you? Check out our buying guide below.

How to Find the Right Hand Mixer:

1. A good hand mixer should be lightweight with an ergonomic soft-grip handle, so you can avoid arm and wrist strain while you’re trying to mix up the perfect sponge cake.
2. The higher the wattage, the better your hand mixer will perform – a standard hand mixer has around 200-250w, but can go all the way up to 1000w – great for tackling thicker consistencies, like hearty vegetable soups.
3. Some hand mixers come with features that can make mixing ingredients easier , including digital displays and electronic mixing sensors, so you can adjust according to batter consistency.
4. Along with dough hooks and beaters, hand mixers have become even more versatile thanks to a wider range of attachments, including a slicer/shredder and even a pasta roller!
5. Trying to save on space? Find a hand mixer with a retractable cord or a storage case to safely pack away after use.
6. Who says hand mixers can’t be stylish? A sleek silver hand mixer is dynamic and adds timeless appeal to white surfaces and cabinetry. Classic cream or white hand mixers, as well as black, provide a good contrast with warm browns and earthier tones, while bold splashes of colour like red and blue can make a kitchen feel modern when paired with light, neutral tones.
7. Want modern appliances with a bit of a retro touch? A vintage-style hand mixer can help give your kitchen décor a bit of old-school flair and makes cooking fun. Mix things up in the kitchen!
