the 5 Best Hand Mixers for Airy Desserts

The PHM 3018 from Polaris is a plastic mixer with 3 speeds and a good power of 300 watts. Included with the device you will find 2 whisk for whipping and a pair of dough mixing hooks for making uncool dough, for example, sponge cake. The device is equipped with a short cord, slightly less than 1 m, which may limit the mobility of the device. The weight of the small creation of Asian engineers is only 800 grams: your hand is unlikely to get tired of holding the mixer while you beat the whites or knead the dough for a few minutes.

The mixer at first glance seems mediocre, but there are small differences. For example, the mode switch button has a special non-slip surface, which is very important when working in the kitchen without gloves.

Despite the simple execution and poor equipment, this is what you need for a novice cook or hostess who occasionally realizes her culinary talent. With this model, you will not overpay for extra nozzles and unnecessary functions. Cheap and angry — that's how I would like to characterize this kitchen device.

A miniature and lightweight (1.1 kg) mixer is a godsend for a small kitchen. It takes up a minimum of storage space, so it will fit on almost any shelf. The main function of the mixer is standard — the preparation of mousses, cocktails, creams or uncool dough. This assistant will be a great help to an inexperienced cook who is just trying his hand at the art of cooking.

The mixer motor is designed for only 200 watts, but this did not prevent the manufacturer from providing 5 different speeds for mixing mixtures of different consistency — from milkshake to sponge dough. There are no other modes like "turbo", but this is an important plus for many — you will not have to overpay for unnecessary options.

Complete with a mixer, you will find a pair of beaters and hooks for kneading dough, and, according to experienced users, pancake batter is not the only thing this low—power kitchen device can handle.

It is worth paying tribute to the manufacturer for a sufficiently long 170 cm power cord — you do not have to be "tied" to the outlet — move the mixer over the work surface at a decent distance: convenient and practical.

As for the production, despite the fact that Panasonic is a well—known Japanese company, the assembly of the mixer is Chinese. Considering that now even such giants as Bosch or Siemens are moving their production to Asian countries without loss of quality, it would be unbiased to consider this a minus. Moreover, the manufacturer gives 12 months of official warranty.

A light mixer weighing 1 kg from the Slovenian company Gorenje is designed for 4 speeds and has a significant difference from the "fellow soldiers" — in addition to the dough kneading nozzles and whisk beaters, there is a blender leg. Thus, this device is a full—fledged 3-in-1 device, with which you can not only prepare cocktails, mousses, creams and uncool dough, but also grind products into puree or make smoothies. The average power of 275 watts makes it easy to cope with any of the tasks.

The control panel is equipped with an ON/OFF switch, a speed selection button and a mode start button "Turbo". The latter allows you to accelerate the motor speed to maximum values in order to beat, grind or mix the product to a homogeneous state.

The handle is as ergonomic and technically thought out as possible — it is convenient to take it even when using a blender leg. Another positive point is that all the nozzles can be washed in the dishwasher (plastic and stainless steel, from which the parts are made, easily tolerate the effects of various temperatures and detergents).

The HM 3000 model from the German company Braun has a distinctive feature — a power of 450 watts, which allows you to solve many culinary issues many times faster: whip up fluffy protein foam or cream, make dough or mix delicious and healthy cocktails from milk or fruit.

At the user's disposal there are 5 speeds with a smooth choice, including turbo mode, which is needed to bring any composition to uniformity, be it cream, mousse, sauce, dough or milkshake. For these purposes, you will have a pair of beaters and dough hooks.

The case is made of plastic, but this is by no means bad — it only facilitates the design, which weighs only 900 grams. The handle is soft and pleasant to the touch, so it is perfectly fixed in the hand even when working at high speeds.

The model is notable for the presence of several proprietary technologies of the company at once. Among them we note ComfortClick for stability and ease of use of the mixer and EasyClick for quick and easy change of nozzles. And SmartMix, which is based on the vertical position of the motor correctly distributes the weight of the device, reducing the load on the arm.

The model is equipped with a 130-centimeter cord with a soft and flexible attachment for convenient operation with it. And I want to put a separate plus sign for the design, for which HM 3000 is chosen by most buyers.

A sample of German quality — the MFQ 4070 mixer from Bosch with an impeccable design is worthy of becoming the dream of any hostess or self-confident cook.

An excellent power indicator for a household appliance of 500 watts is complemented by 5 speed modes and pulse operation.

The kitchen device is equipped with everything you need: two beaters for whipping fluffy foam or cream, hooks for kneading dough (and, judging by user reviews, they do a great job not only with liquid, but also with a fairly thick dough) and a blender leg. It should be given special attention: unlike competitors' offers, the blender is made of stainless steel, hence the excellent performance: durability and wear resistance. There is an additional drive for connecting the leg.

Speaking of corollas, it is impossible not to pay attention to their design — there are small metal FineCreamer balls at the bottom, which create even more air bubbles to achieve a better whipping result.

Also in the kit, in addition to the nozzles, you will find a container with a lid.

The ergonomically designed case is complemented by special Soft-Touch inserts, so it is pleasant and convenient to hold the device in your hands. The weight is slightly more than analogues — 1.4 kg, but thanks to the design idea, the load on the arm is minimal.

The power cord with a lock has a length of 140 cm — perfect for comfortable work at a distance from the power source. The only thing that can stop the user when buying is the price of the product, but it is customary to pay twice for German quality.
