12 best kitchen mixers according to customer reviews

Kitchen mixers belong to the class of small household appliances, and for the most part their construction is quite simple. However, they are just as different in quality, usability, durability and other parameters, like any other household appliances. Expertex leading experts analyzed the market and prepared a list of the best models according to a set of characteristics. For you, we submit the conclusions of experts in the context of subclasses, form factors and purpose.

Mixer which company choose

First, we will briefly go through the manufacturers of those models of mixers that fell into the rating.

  1. Bosch is a famous German brand of home appliances that does not require presentation. Mixers are assembled at Bosch factories in China or Slovenia, depending on the specific model.

  2. Panasonic is a famous Japanese brand with a century of history. Mixers, like the rest of the small household appliances going in China.

  3. Moulinex is a prominent and actively advertised French manufacturer of household appliances. Production facilities are located in France, China and Russia.

  4. BORK is one of the most successful Russian trademarks with German registration. It belongs to the well-known company "Technopark". The overall high quality of the equipment allows forgiving not quite honest branding. Most products are made in China.

  5. KitchenAid is an American manufacturer of home appliances. Included in a large holding Whirlpool. Some products are manufactured in the USA, and some in China.

  6. Stadler Form is a Swiss trademark of household appliances. Successfully exists on the market since 1998. Products are manufactured in South Korea and China. Most of the equipment that is shipped to Russia is a Chinese assembly.

  7. Gemlux is a very young Russian brand that appeared on the market in 2015. The company claims that its products are made in a number of countries (Italy, China, South Korea, India, Taiwan, Indonesia and Russia), but it is more likely that skeptics say that most of the assembly is in China.

  8. Ankarsrum - Swedish brand specialized household appliances, founded in 1940. Mixers, food processors and dough mixers are made in Sweden itself.

  9. Rohaus - one of the most conspiratorial trademarks, carefully posing as Dutch. It really belongs to the Dutch company ATCP Group B.V., which is only 5 years old (registered in 2013). Full site only in Russian, English version with heavily trimmed content. It is not difficult to understand that the brand is actually Russian.

Top Hand Mixers

Let's start with the rating of portable handheld mixer models, which our experts considered optimal for the combination of price and quality. Those were Bosch MFQ 4020 and MFQ 36480, KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU and Panasonic MK-GH1.

Bosch MFQ 4020

Rating: 4.9

Bosch MFQ 4020

The Bosch MFQ 4020 hand mixers are manufactured at the Bosch plant in Slovenia. The device is quite convenient, high-quality and reliable, as stated in the vast majority of independent reviews.

Power of 450 watts covers 5 speeds of rotation of the rims. And here lies one drawback. For those who need the most airy whipping cream with “peaks”, this model will not work, since even at maximum speed the mixer copes with this task every other time. If long continuous work or thorough mixing of the “heavy” dough is needed, here the Bosch MFQ 4020 is just at its height.

From the pleasant and useful options, users allocate a rubberized handle and convenient extraction of the rims using the button. The corollas, by the way, are inserted into each of their holes. Comes with hooks for mixing dough.

Virtues

  • European assembly;

  • sufficient power;

  • relatively quiet operation;

disadvantages

  • does not always cope with whipping.

Bosch MFQ 36480

Rating: 4.8

Bosch MFQ 36480

The model of the Bosch MFQ 36480 mixer is made in Slovenia, like the Bosch MFQ 4020 “younger brother”. It is already a much more multifunctional device capable of performing the functions of a mixer, grinder, blender and kneader. For each of these functions, different nozzles are provided and, if necessary, special containers - a glass for a grinder and a bowl for a blender.

Power Bosch MFQ 36480 is similar to the previous model - 450 watts. Provides 5 speeds with optional turbo mode.

As in the Bosch MFQ 4020, this model has a convenient rubberized grip and a button to detach the nozzles. Some users complain that there is no storage device for attachments.

Hardly the only serious disadvantage of this model is the complete lack of spare parts, and in case of problems with the engine, it must be completely changed, and this is comparable in price to the purchase of a new mixer.

Virtues

  • European assembly;

  • power and reliability;

  • quiet work;

disadvantages

  • not repairable;

  • fragile plastic cup and bowl.

KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU

Rating: 4.8

KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU

The KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU mixer is manufactured in the USA. Perhaps this explains more than a weighty price, both for a device of this class and functionality. But this is almost the only drawback of this model.

The power of the device can cause confusion, especially against the background of solutions identical in class - only 85 watts. But in fact, according to users, this mixer copes without problems with all the tasks for which it was designed.

As for the tasks themselves, they are quite wide - mixing, beating, kneading dough, making cocktails. For each action there are separate tips. There are 9 speeds of rotation. As a nice bonus in the kit is a bag specifically for storing attachments.

The KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU has better ergonomics than the previous two “Germans”. Here, too, there is a rubberized handle and a button for detaching nozzles, but there is still a device for winding the cord.

Users all appreciate the exceptionally low level of noise and vibration of this model.

Virtues

  • made in the USA;

  • there is a bag for attachments.

  • highly reliable;

  • energy saving;

  • very quiet;

disadvantages

  • high price.

Panasonic MK-GH1

Rating: 4.7

Panasonic MK-GH1

The mixer Panasonic MK-GH1 is made in China. This is the cheapest model of the four best hand mixers, but quite worthy in performance.

The power of the device is 200 watts, but the lion's share of reviews suggest a subjective impression of much more power. Probably, Panasonic engineers managed to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

There are 5 speeds with an additional pulse mode. The model is expected to be very laconic in terms of functionality - only two types of nozzles are included: a whisk for beating and hooks for the dough.Disconnect button.

A big plus is a long power cord of 1.7 m. Some drawback - the minimum speed is not so minimal, and users regret that there is no one more division “down”.

Virtues

  • quality and durability;

  • affordable price;

  • subjectively more powerful than nominal 200 W;

disadvantages

  • inconvenient switching speeds (horizontal);

  • no minimum speed.

Top Stationary Mixer Rankings

Now consider the rating of more impressive devices - stationary mixers. Our experts came to the attention of the Bosch MFQ 36460, Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330, Gemlux GL-SM600B and Moulinex HM 4121 models. General characteristics for all four options: plastic case, rotating bowl, button for disconnecting nozzles.

Bosch MFQ 36460

Rating: 4.9

Bosch MFQ 36460

Bosch MFQ 36460 mixer produced in Slovenia. In general, users respond positively about the quality of the European assembly in this case. Many also like the snow-white case of high-quality plastic.

As for the power and speed of rotation of the rims, there is already a significant percentage of the discontented. With a power of 450 W, the mixer produces relatively low revs even at maximum 5th speed. This increases the preparation time of the mixtures But this impression is compensated by a very quiet operation, with the exception of the same 5th speed.

Included are two types of nozzles - a whisk for beating and hooks for kneading dough.

Virtues

  • quality materials and assembly;

  • silent work (except the 5th speed);

  • affordable price;

  • soft-touch soft grip;

disadvantages

  • very noisy at maximum speed;

  • low revs at high power ratings.

Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330

Rating: 4.8

Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330

Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330 is a Swiss brand mixer that is assembled in China. This is the most high-tech model of the four considered stationary mixers due to the presence of an LCD display and a number of design solutions.

Actually, the design implies the ability to remove the working part and use the mixer as a manual. It is also important that different engines are used for these transformations, since this model is equipped with two motors.

The rated power of the mixer is 500 watts, provided for as many as 12 speeds, plus turbo mode. From the nozzles there is only a whisk for beating and hooks for the test. This users point out as a disadvantage for such an expensive model. Stainless steel bowl capacity - 3.6 kg.

Virtues

  • high-quality assembly;

  • many speeds;

  • removable working part;

  • reliability and durability;

disadvantages

  • high price;

  • few tips.

Gemlux GL-SM600B

Rating: 4.7

Gemlux GL-SM600B

The Gemlux GL-SM600B planetary stationary mixer is a product of a Russian brand and Chinese assembly. The materials are quite good, as well as the assembly - this characteristic of complaints in reviews from real users is not observed.

Power of the device makes 600 W, 6 speeds of rotation and the pulse mode are provided. The metal bowl (stainless steel) is quite spacious - 4.5 liters.

Comes with a whisk for beating, a dough hook and a paddle. When kneading dough, the mixer reel is minimal due to its considerable natural weight - 11.7 and special suction cups with which the device can be additionally fixed on the table top. By the way, due to the weight and power, some experts tend to rank this model as a semi-professional technique.

An important point - if you accidentally turn the lever for removing the bowl during operation, the rotation immediately stops automatically.

Virtues

  • attractive design;

  • sufficient power;

  • good build;

disadvantages

  • suspiciously frequent cases of factory marriage;

  • very young manufacturer with vague prospects in terms of warranty.

Moulinex HM 4121

Rating: 4.6

Moulinex HM 4121

Another mixer-transformer of the French brand Moulinex HM 4121, produced in China.The quality of materials and workmanship is at a height that is typical for all the household appliances of this brand.

The model is rather laconic in terms of functionality - it is equipped only with a whisk for beating and hooks for kneading dough. But the working part can be removed from the base and the stationary mixer “with a flick of the wrist” turns into a manual one.

Power consumption of the device is 450 watts. There are 5 speeds and an additional turbo mode.

Moulinex HM 4121 has been produced for many years, and the feedback slice shows the exceptional reliability and durability of this model.

Virtues

  • sufficient power;

  • affordable price;

  • removable working part;

  • power and durability;

disadvantages

  • angular bottom of the bowl (you need to separately remove the sticky dough residues).

Ranking of the best professional mixers

Now we turn to the rating of an even more serious category of this type of household appliances - professional mixers. These are high-performance devices with an increased resource, the power of which for the most part exceeds the devices for home use. Our experts have identified three of the most notable reviews from users of the model: KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE, Rohaus RM910S and BORK E800.

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE

Rating: 5.0

KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE

A rare example of a truly overseas quality equipment - American mixer made by KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE. Its power in a number of consumers raises doubts about professional use, but it is in vain. Designers managed to "fit" in the nominal 300 watts of power consumption is quite a serious resource.

The model is very weighty - 10.6 kg, the body is made of metal, the bowl of 4.83 l is made of stainless steel. To the cup comes with a protective cover.

10 rotational speeds and planetary mixing are supported. It is completed with three types of nozzles: a whisk for beating, hooks for the test, a shovel

Despite the fact that the characteristics of this model clearly indicate the power of 300 W, for some strange reason, customers complain about this point. In fact, there is no deception.

With this model, there is one problem in which it is not the manufacturers that are to blame, but unscrupulous sellers in Russia. Some smart dealers have adapted to rework models of this mixer, which are produced for the US domestic market with its 110-volt sockets, under the domestic 220V. It's all about the price - "internal" models are much cheaper. Everything would be fine, but the “master” for the most part is not aware that the screw, which presses the speed selector lever, should be processed with a lock of threaded connections. When reworking the screw is unscrewed, and collecting the mixer back, do not put a retainer. From vibration, this screw unscrews over time and the speed ceases to be fixed. Hence, numerous complaints about problems with fixing the gearshift lever. Therefore, deciding to buy KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE, it is highly desirable to check the model by serial number.

Virtues

  • solid American assembly;

  • reliability and durability (applies only to units that have not been converted to 220 V);

  • strong metal case;

  • original vintage design;

disadvantages

  • insufficient power;

  • problems with fixing the gearshift lever (the manufacturer is not to blame);

  • high price;

Rohaus RM910S

Rating: 4.9

Rohaus RM910S

The high-performance planetary mixer Rohaus RM910S of the pseudo-Dutch trademark is produced in China. Despite the geography of production, he deserved a lot of positive assessments from independent users by the build quality and sturdy metal housing. The 4.5 liter bowl is also made of stainless steel.

The power of the mixer corresponds to the class of professional equipment - 1000 watts.There are 12 speeds of planetary rotation.

Comes with a whisk for beating, dough hooks, a spatula nozzle, a molded mixing nozzle and a protective lid on the bowl.

Of the ergonomic "bonuses" in this model there is an LCD display with a timer, a device for winding the cord, the function "Pause". Protection against an overheat is provided at long continuous work.

In general, the mixer copes well with its functions except for kneading dough with low hydration. The only thing where one can clearly see a sharply negative consumer reaction is service.

Virtues

  • impressive metal case;

  • high-quality assembly;

  • relatively affordable price;

  • attractive design;

  • fairly quiet work;

disadvantages

  • poorly established service and warranty service;

  • weakly kneads "strong" dough.

BORK E800

Rating: 4.9

BORK E800

The high-performance stationary mixer BORK E800 is made in China. Like most of the pseudo-German (Russian trademark) BORK equipment, this model is characterized by high-quality assembly and overall “impressiveness” of both the appearance and fitting of parts. Unit weight - 7.9 kg.

Users positively evaluate the materials of the body and the bowl - stainless steel. Bowl volume - 4.70 l.

The power of the mixer is 1000 W, it is designed for 12 speeds of the planetary rotation of the nozzles. There are four nozzles themselves: pastry nozzle, spatula, whisk, dough hook. To the bowl comes with a protective cover.

The engine is controlled by sensor electronics, which is designed to protect the motor from overheating. Nevertheless, there are many reviews about the strong heating of the mixer up to the tangible smell of burning.

In terms of noise, users' opinions were divided, but those who dealt with several professional models claim that the BORK E800 works much louder than the American KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE, which was discussed above.

Virtues

  • power;

  • metal case;

  • design;

disadvantages

  • relatively noisy;

  • high price for this class;

  • strong heat and burning odor during intensive work;

The best mixer for kneading dough

And at the end of the rating, we will consider a highly specialized mixer model, designed specifically for kneading dough. Although it is positioned as a combine, its main purpose is still the preparation of dough. This is the Ankarsrum AKM6230 series of Swedish home appliances Ankarsrum Original Assistent.

Ankarsrum AKM6230

Rating: 5.0

Ankarsrum AKM6230

Combine testomes Ankarsrum AKM6230 is produced in Sweden itself. We emphasize once again that this is still a dough mixer, since it does not perform the functions of a juicer, a mill, or a meat grinder.

The dimensions of the device - 40x26.8x36 cm, weight - 8.6 kg. Thanks to its high power of 1,500 watts, it is able to cope with even the most difficult test with low hydration.

The main bowl has an impressive volume of 7 liters. Included is an additional bowl in half - 3.5 liters. Both the bowl and the device itself is made of stainless steel.

It is completed with four nozzles for kneading dough and whipping.

It is controlled by mechanical regulators with a smooth switching speeds. Provides protection against overload during prolonged operation.

This is one of the rare models of household appliances, in which there is practically nothing to “cling to” objectively. And it can be seen also on independent reviews, in which there are no complaints even to a rather big price. The unit is definitely worth the money.

Virtues

  • Swedish assembly;

  • performance;

  • reliability;

  • power;

disadvantages

  • no pronounced.

Which mixer to buy

And now let's make a squeeze from all of the above, and determine the "best of the best."

  1. From hand mixers, if there is no shortage of funds, the American KitchenAid 5KHM9212ECU would be the best choice. But he is really expensive. If, on the contrary, the budget is very limited, you can get the cheapest of the four described model - the Panasonic MK-GH1 - in general, it is quite good. Both Bosch models are also decent, but in the event of a breakdown beyond the warranty period, it will be almost impossible to repair the mixer. Bosch MFQ 36480 has a significant advantage due to its wide functionality.

  2. A group of stationary mixers can also be divided on the basis of transformability. So, the Stadler Form Mixer Two SFM.330 and Moulinex HM 4121 models easily “turn” into manual ones, but the Stadler Form is much more expensive. He, like the Gemlux GL-SM600B, is closer to the semi-professional class. Bosch MFQ 36460 is not particularly remarkable - the usual stationary mixer.

  3. In the group of professional mixers, the situation is as follows. If you are not going to knead up the septic and heavy dough, and it is more important for you that the mixer worked for 100 years - take KitchenAid 5KSM150PSE and spare no money. Only without fail check the model by serial number, whether it was originally produced for the European market. If you need guaranteed power, and you are ready to go through significant heat - the BORK E800 will do. Finally, if in the first place is the minimum price, and you are not afraid of disgusting service in case of a breakdown - take the Rohaus RM910S.

  4. As for the dough mixer, there’s nothing to choose from - the Ankarsrum AKM6230 is out of competition.
