Hand Mixers & Stand Mixers

A high-quality mixer is an important addition to any kitchen. Even if you're not a baker, a hand mixer or stand mixer will help you beat eggs for scrambling, make salad dressings, or pizza dough. Hand mixers are lightweight and convenient for low-maintenance home chefs or those with smaller kitchens, whereas stand mixers are powerful and double as a decor piece in your kitchen. These appliances are both for mixing but they have distinct differences that will help you decide if you only need one or if you'd rather add both to your collection of kitchen gadgets. Hand mixers are great for small or quick tasks like quickly beating eggs for breakfast or making a quick batch of homemade whipped cream. They're less powerful than stand mixers, but typically feature multiple speed settings to create a variety of dishes. Hand mixers are also portable and easy to store. Stand mixers are larger and more powerful. One of their biggest benefits is that you can lock the mixer and turn it on so you can multitask in the kitchen. However, stand mixers can be quite pricey so a hand mixer may be better for consumers on a budget. Our mixer offering includes the iconic KitchenAid mixer, known for its looks as much as its quality. Available in a rainbow of colors like pink and turquoise blue, you can buy a stand mixer that perfectly matches your microwave, toaster, or other kitchen appliances. KitchenAid stand mixers also have a plethora of attachments (sold separately) for making pasta, churning ice cream, shredding cheese, and so much more. With the right attachments, you can prepare multiple dishes with a single appliance. KitchenAid stand mixers also come in multiple lines including Artisan, Pro Line&re;, Professional 6500 and more. Their mixers come in tilt-head and bowl-lift styles. Tilt-head models are well suited for casual home use whereas bowl-lift is great for professional bakers or those looking to turn their passion for baking into a career.

While KitchenAid stand mixers are arguably the most popular product in this category, other brands like Breville have high-quality offerings as well. Each brand makes products with their own benefits, from Breville's hand mixer with beaters that also feature a rubber scraper to Bosch's stand mixers that place the motor underneath so you have unobstructed access to the mixing bowl. Smeg mixers have a retro look that fits perfectly in a mid-century modern kitchen. Whether you're an aspiring pastry chef or a casual home cook who's sick of whisking, introducing a mixer into the lineup will make cooking and baking easier and more enjoyable. The right mixer will quickly become an essential part of your appliance arsenal.
