How to choose
Match bowl capacity to batch size
A 12-cup bowl suits family-size portions and a 16-cup bowl with a 14-cup working capacity suits big batches. Check the working capacity, not just the total bowl size, since the Homtone gives both figures. All three picks have dough blades, so capacity and motor power separate them for pizza dough: 550W for the GE, 240W for the KitchenAid and 600W for the Homtone.
Compare motors and speed controls
All three picks have 3 speeds. The GE has high, low and pulse controls, and the Homtone has low, high and pulse speeds for whipping, shredding and chunky salsa. The GE runs a 550W motor, the KitchenAid runs a 240W motor and the Homtone runs a 600W high-torque motor. For pizza dough, look for a dough blade first, then a motor and bowl size that match your usual batch size.
Cleanup and storage after kneading
The GE stores its cord in built-in cord storage, the KitchenAid wraps its cord in an integrated cord wrap in the base and stores blades and discs in the bowl, and the Homtone sends all removable parts to the dishwasher top rack. Suction cup feet on the GE hold it in place during use, and the Homtone has a double-lock system.
