How to choose
Whisks for powders and froth
Whisk shape decides what a frother mixes well. The New England Stories hook whisk mixes powders such as protein, while its spring whisks froth milk and its balloon whisk beats eggs and cream. The Colarlemo gives the same three whisk types, spring, balloon and hook, for frothing, whipping and stirring. The SHEANLAH immersion blender uses a 4-blade head instead of whisks, for blending with 25 speeds.
Rechargeable wands or corded power
The Colarlemo charges by USB-C with a battery indicator, and the New England Stories battery charges in under 6 hours. The SHEANLAH gives 1000 watts and 25 speeds, so choose a wand for quick drinks and corded power for longer blending.
Cleanup and storage
Cleanup differs across this list. The New England Stories set includes a stand and a travel case, so the whisks stay together at home or on the road. Start at the lowest speed with the whisk submerged to prevent splashing.
