How to choose
Speeds and controls
Speeds differ across this list: the Cuisinart offers 9 speeds, the LILPARTNER offers 7 speeds, the Hamilton Beach offers 6 speeds, and the KitchenAid and OVENTE offer 5 speeds each. Controls also differ: the Cuisinart uses a one-step power switch with an LED display, the KitchenAid uses a single-handed release button, and the OVENTE uses a beater eject button. Match the speed count to the recipe, since slow speeds stir chunky ingredients and higher speeds whip cream and egg whites.
Attachments and cases
Attachments differ by what is in the box: the Hamilton Beach includes 2 beaters and a whisk, the Cuisinart includes extra-long beaters, a whisk, dough hooks and a spatula, and the LILPARTNER includes 1 whisk, 2 beaters and 2 dough hooks. Cases also differ: the Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart and OVENTE include snap-on cases that hold the attachments in one place. Check the box contents before you buy, since attachment counts change what one mixer covers.
Weight and warranties
Weight differs across this list: the Cuisinart weighs 4 lb, the Hamilton Beach weighs 2.87 lb, the KitchenAid weighs 2 lb and the OVENTE weighs 1.8 lb. Warranties also differ: the Cuisinart carries a 3-year warranty, the LILPARTNER carries a 2-year warranty, and the Hamilton Beach, KitchenAid and OVENTE carry 1-year warranties. Check the weight before you buy, since a lighter mixer tires the hand less during long mixing sessions.
