How to choose
Battery type and charging
Four picks run on disposable batteries and one recharges over USB-C, so start with the power source you prefer. The Zulay runs on 4 AA Duracell batteries, the SIMPLETASTE and Bonsenkitchen run on 2 AA batteries each, and the VOMELON runs on 3 AAA batteries. The CIRCLE JOY recharges over USB-C and runs for weeks of daily use on a single charge, so it suits buyers who dislike buying batteries. Check which battery size you already keep at home before you pick.
Hot and cold froth
Hot and cold froth means one wand handles both a hot latte and cold foam for iced coffee. The CIRCLE JOY and the VOMELON both froth hot and cold drinks, and both have whisk parts that go in the dishwasher. The other three picks froth hot drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos and hot chocolates. If you drink iced coffee, pick a wand that makes cold foam: the CIRCLE JOY makes cold foam for iced coffee.
Cleaning and storage
A whisk that rinses clean under running water is easier to keep up after daily use. The CIRCLE JOY whisk head goes in the dishwasher, the VOMELON whisk goes in the dishwasher, and the Zulay whisk rinses under hot water. The CIRCLE JOY, Zulay and Bonsenkitchen each include a stand that keeps the wand upright on the countertop, while the VOMELON comes with a storage tube. Pick the storage style that fits your counter space.
