Stand Mixers
The most notable name in
stand mixers
is the
KitchenAid
,
which controls about 50 percent of the stand mixer market. This large market share is not because of clever marketing or bargain prices, but due to years as a superior product. Not everyone needs a heavy duty Kitchen Aid mixer, but if you are a serious baker or mashed potato eater, it is the best machine on the market for you.

Types of Stand Mixers
|
|
|
|
Rotating Disc Stand Mixers
-
The technology that distinguishes
KitchenAid.
-
Beaters are mounted on a rotating disc.
-
The "planetary movement" of the beaters keeps ingredients from getting stuck on the side of the bowl.
-
Shorter mixing time.
-
Set it and go -- no need to watch this mixer, it will be fine on its own.
|
Fixed-Beater Stand Mixers
-
The technology often found in professional models and by
Sunbeam
and
Hamilton Beach.
-
Beaters are fixed.
-
Rotating bowl.
-
Takes as much as twice the time as rotating disc model.
-
Must watch mixer and stop frequently to clean unmixed ingredients on the sides of bowl.
|
Features To Consider
-
Bowl Size
-
Bowls come in different sizes, ranging from 4-7 quarts. For extra convenience opt for a model in which the bowls have handles.
-
Mixing Attachments
-
Depending on your baking and cooking needs, you may simply prefer to have more options when it comes to add-on attachments.
-
Dough hooks, wire whisks, and blending rods are just some of the options that will typically come with a Kitchen Aid mixer.
-
Look for attachments that are non-stick or stainless steel.
-
Power
-
The wattage of a stand mixer is more important when it comes to speed than the number of speed settings. So if that's a feature that you are particularly concerned about, do not compare models by speed, but by watt capacity.
-
Typical power ranges from 300-900 watts.
-
Speeds
-
3-15 speed models are available.
-
Remember that a model with 15 speeds isn't "one faster" than a model with 14 speeds. More speeds just allow for smoother transitions between speeds.
-
In fact, having the variety of 15 speeds is nice because the lowest speeds will really be very low. That means mixing flour or other dry mixtures will not cause a cloud of powder because the speed is too high.
-
Warranty
: The longer the warranty, the better the chances are that the mixer will last
-
Weight
: The heavier the stand mixer, the less chance of it moving during operation
