The Stand vs. The Hand

The Stand Mixer Buying Guide

Fans of stand mixers, such as the classic Kitchen Aid love their more expensive machines because:

  • It can handle thick mixtures like cookie dough   and mashed potatoes.
  • Uses a large mixing bowl that can handle double batches.
  • Features numerous speeds for various tasks.
  • Many attachments turn the mixer into much more (even a meat grinder   and pasta maker   ).
  • Can be left to mix on its own without any supervision.

What is not so great is the heavy-duty weight and the bulkiness, which might not be a problem if you leave the mixer out because you use it so often.

The Hand Mixer Buying Guide

Meanwhile, fans of hand mixers counter:

  • They are light and small making them easy to store, use, yet accessible.
  • Perfect for lightweight use.
  • Lower price.
  • Ease of cleaning. Throw the beaters in the dishwasher and you are done.

Most hand mixers   don't pack the punch to get through peanut butter cookie dough like the stand mixer They also require that you keep a constant hold on it so you can't get anything else done while mixing.

If you are in the market for a new mixer you should have an idea of how you want to use your mixer before you buy. If you are leaning more towards an everyday whipping and stirring machine then a handheld mixer is probably a better and cheaper choice. If you are looking for a machine to mix cookies, mashed potatoes, and viscous foods, the stand mixer is probably the better option for you. The winner of the debate is really decided by you and your mixing needs.
