How to choose

Speeds and power for cakes

Speeds set how fast the beaters turn, and a slower first speed helps keep flour in the bowl when you start a cake batter. The Lord Eagle and the BAIGELONG each have 5 speeds, while the Hamilton Beach has 6 speeds plus QuickBurst for an extra burst of power at any speed. Wattage states motor power: the Lord Eagle runs on 400 watts and the BAIGELONG on 150 watts. For cake batter, look for a slower first speed and enough speeds to move from folding to whipping without changing tools.

Attachments and storage

Attachments decide what a mixer can do: beaters mix batter, a whisk whips cream and eggs, and dough hooks work dough. The Lord Eagle and the BAIGELONG each include 2 beaters, 2 dough hooks and 1 whisk, while the Hamilton Beach includes 2 beaters and 1 whisk. All three store attachments in a snap-on case or storage base, so check that the case fits your drawer or counter space.

Weight, cleanup and cord

Weight matters because you hold a hand mixer through the whole mix. The Lord Eagle weighs 2.9 lb and the Hamilton Beach weighs 3.4 lb, so compare those figures with how long your mixes run. The Hamilton Beach has a 5 ft cord, so check cord length against where your outlet sits.
