How to choose
Battery power versus rechargeable power
Power decides how you keep a frother running. The Zulay and the Paris Hilton run on AA batteries, with 4 AA batteries included for the Zulay and 2 AA batteries required for the Paris Hilton, while the Bonsenkitchen, the Maestri, and the CIRCLE JOY run on built-in rechargeable batteries, with USB-C charging on the Bonsenkitchen and the Maestri. Choose disposable batteries for a wand you use away from an outlet, and choose a rechargeable wand to avoid buying batteries.
Speeds and whisks
Speeds change how fine and thick the foam gets. The Bonsenkitchen has 3 speeds, the Maestri has 2 speeds at 5500RPM and 8000RPM, and the CIRCLE JOY has low, medium, and high speeds. Whisks change what you mix: the Paris Hilton uses a double coil head, the Bonsenkitchen uses a dual spring whisk, and the CIRCLE JOY includes a double-ring spring head, an egg beater, and a powder hook.
Cleaning and storage
Cleaning is a rinse for most of these wands, so check the care steps before you buy. The Zulay whisk rinses under hot water, the Bonsenkitchen cleans with a quick rinse and a button press, and the Maestri whisk rinses under running water. The CIRCLE JOY heads rinse under running water, but do not rinse its main body. Stands and boxes keep wands ready: the Zulay and the Bonsenkitchen include stands, the Paris Hilton includes a gold metal stand, and the CIRCLE JOY includes a storage box.
