7 Best Hand Mixers of 2020 For Your Kitchen

This hand mixer includes the features you need, plus some extras—and a clip-on case to hold everything for storage. The powerful motor operates with a simple on/off switch and a one-touch speed control lets you select one of the nine speeds.

This comes with two extra-long beaters, one whisk, two dough hooks, and a spatula that all store in a clip-on case that you can also tuck the cord into. Rather than a button to release the beaters, this has a latch, so you’re less likely to accidentally release the beaters.

While this has a slow-start function, reviewers have said that it’s not quite as slow as some other brands with the same feature. Still, it’s slower than a full-power start.

The soft-start means that even if you choose a high speed, the mixer will start slow and build up, so you won’t fling ingredients out of the bowl. The cord locks into place on the left or right side of the mixer to keep it out of the way, no matter which way you face or where your outlets are.

It also includes a storage bag so you can keep all the parts neatly together when it’s not in use. Available in five different colors that you can use to match or accent your kitchen.

This comes with two scraper beaters, two dough hooks for denser doughs, and two balloon whisks for whipping cream or making other light, fluffy mixtures. All the parts store in a case that clips onto the bottom of the mixer, and the cord tucks in there as well.
