The hand mixer is a minor piece of household kitchen appliances in the home, but the demand is high. Sometimes it is needed in daily use. But besides demand, there is also competition. Competitive manufacturers are trying to improve this device, equipping it with new accessories and various new functions. After analyzing customer reviews and expert opinion, I'm ready to present my rating of the best hand mixers in 2019.
Marta MT-1509
TOP-12 hand mixers are opened by the model of the budget segment - Marta MT-1509. Power - 350 W: it is enough for stable operation at 5 set speeds. Equipped with 4 attachments - hooks for kneading dough, whisk for beating. The button for removing the attachments will simplify the maintenance of the equipment after the end of work. The mixer is available in five body colors, does not take up much space, but always remains at hand.
Benefits:
- 5 speed modes;
- large selection of colors;
- small price.
Disadvantages:
- low power;
- flimsy, often breaks;
- a housing made of cheap plastic;
- overheats quickly.
The device is of rather low quality, made of cheap plastic. When kneading the dough, it often overheats, it gives off a burning smell. It only works well with low-density foods or liquids. Price - 690 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market, 75% of buyers recommend this product.
Lumme LU-1815
The compact mixer with a set of attachments is suitable for mixing liquids, beating eggs or cream, making puree. The mixer is convenient and easy to use, it has an ergonomic design of the case, made of high quality plastic. Unlike Marta, this model has 7 speed modes: you can choose the optimal speed of rotation of the attachments for any product. In terms of power, Lumme is inferior to Marta - only 250 watts. A low-power mixer will often overheat when mixing dense foods. The kit comes with only 2 attachments. The nozzles eject button makes it easy to clean the mixer after work. The mixer is produced in eight body colors, will easily fit into the design of any kitchen, does not take up much space.
Benefits:
- 7 speed modes;
- 8 body colors.
Disadvantages:
- low power;
- when working at high speeds, it overheats: you can smell plastic;
- lack of a dough attachment;
- short power cord.
The model is of the same low quality as the previous Marta MT-1509. Lumme LU-1815 has a weak power, quickly overheats, begins to emit a smell of burnt plastic during operation. There are only 2 attachments included, which is too little. Price - 730 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market, this product is recommended by 60% of buyers.
Scarlett SC-HM40S03
Lightweight, convenient hand mixer Scarlett SC-HM40S03 has an ergonomic design, simple construction. The model has 7 high-speed modes, like the Lumme LU-1815, but in terms of power the Scarlett is inferior - only 200 watts. The set includes a whisk, hooks for kneading dough, which was not in the Lumme model. As in the previous ones, there is a button for removing the attachments.
Benefits:
- good quality;
- 7 speeds of work;
- 4 nozzles included;
- no plastic smell when heated.
Disadvantages:
- low power;
- overheats at maximum speed.
Compared to previous models, the quality of this device is better. It is less powerful - only 200 W, it gets very hot when working at high speeds, but there is no smell of burnt plastic when kneading the dough, and this is already a plus. Price - 800 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market this product is recommended by 93% of buyers.
Polaris PHM 7016
Convenient hand mixer Polaris PHM 7016 has a power of 700 W, which is higher than that of Scarlett SC-HM40S03 and Lumme LU-1815. 5 speed modes, including special (Turbo). The set includes dough hooks made of durable stainless steel, whisk for whipping (they are convenient for making cake cream, fluffy mousse, whipping eggs and cream). All attachments are easily changed at the push of a button.
Benefits:
- high power;
- special turbo mode;
- good quality.
Disadvantages:
- does not correspond to the declared capacity;
- short nozzles.
In terms of quality and power, this model clearly outperforms the listed competitors. When operating at maximum speed, it does not heat up, the device does not emit an unpleasant smell of burnt plastic. But the mixer does not give out the declared 700 watts of power. This figure is clearly overestimated by the manufacturer. Price - 1200 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market, this product is recommended by 89% of buyers.
Bosch MFQ 3010
The review continues with a 300 W mixer from the German company Bosch - this is 2 times less than stated in the Polaris PHM 7016, but Bosch copes with its duties no worse. The device can operate at two speeds, a pulse mode is provided. The set includes 2 hooks for kneading dough, 2 stainless steel beaters for whipping, i.e. a standard set. Separation of the nozzles from the body is done with a button.
Benefits:
- pulse mode;
- high build quality;
- works quietly.
Disadvantages:
- only 2 speeds;
- plastic inserts on the nozzles;
- need power adjustment. At minimum speed, it sprays everything around.
A German company has launched a very high-quality, powerful mixer on the market. I think that 2 power levels are too little, but even for them, power regulation is needed: at low revs, drops very often fly out, splatter everything around. Price - 1490 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market, this product is recommended by 96% of buyers.
Philips HR3705 / 00 Daily Collection
The next rating model from the world-class manufacturer Philips with a power of 300 W, as in the Bosch MFQ 3010 model. But unlike Bosch, this model has 5 speed modes, there is a turbo mode. The set includes stainless steel hooks for dough, whisk for beating. Tapered beaters perform 20% more movement, covering more area in less time and kneading air into the dough for an even lush texture. The device itself is covered with a non-slip coating, which makes it very comfortable to hold in your hand. The beaters and dough hooks can be removed at the push of a button. A cord retainer is provided for neat storage: it can be wrapped around the device and secured with a retainer.
Benefits:
- conical rims;
- turbo mode;
- non-slip coating;
- cord clamp.
Disadvantages:
- lack of a pulse mode;
- inconvenient button to switch at the top.
Very high quality functional model, with almost no flaws. The device perfectly whips and kneads thanks to 5 speeds and turbo mode, which is not available in Bosch and Scarlett SC-HM40S03, for example. It does not get warm, it is comfortable to hold it in your hand. Of the useful "chips" - a cord clamp, non-slip coating. Price - 1890 rubles. On the Yandex. Market this product is recommended by 100% of buyers.
REDMOND RHM-M2104
Modern powerful mixer from Redmond: very durable, lightweight, made of stainless steel and sturdy plastic. Maximum power - 550 W, 5 speeds, Turbo mode, as in the Philips HR3705 / 00 Daily Collection and Polaris PHM 7016 models. The set includes 2 whisk, 2 dough hooks. All attachments are easily changed at the push of a button. Protection against overheating, electric shock is provided: even Philips HR3705 cannot boast of such technologies.
Benefits:
- stainless steel body;
- power - 550 W;
- turbo mode;
- protection against overheating, electric shock.
Disadvantages:
- short power cord;
- vibrates strongly at maximum speed;
- heavy.
The model is externally distinguishable from the rest, since it is made of stainless steel. It is practical, looks nice, but if you keep the mixer in your hand turned on at maximum speed, your hand will quickly get tired of its weight and strong enough vibration. In all other respects, this is a good device, with an excellent power reserve, five speeds, overheating protection. Price - 2100 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market this product is recommended by 91% of buyers.
Moulinex HM 4101
The elegant hand mixer of the world brand Moulinex is very convenient to use due to its compactness and high power. Power - 450 W, which is slightly less than the competitor REDMOND RHM-M2104. In terms of the number of speeds, the device does not lag behind Redmond and Philips - there are 5 of them, there is a turbo mode. The set includes 2 whisk and 2 hooks for kneading dough. All attachments are easily changed with a button.
Benefits:
- compact, lightweight;
- very powerful;
- good build quality.
Disadvantages:
- lack of power regulation;
- ventilation holes on the front of the model;
- the cord is not attached in any way, it very much interferes with the work;
- quite noisy.
The device is very powerful, although in terms of power it is inferior to REDMOND RHM-M2104 and Polaris PHM 7016. But this does not prevent it from coping with any task. Even at low speeds, it shows excellent results, although it makes a lot of noise. I also did not like that the ventilation holes are in front: if you bring the working mixer, for example, to the flour, it will fly in all directions. I think this is a design flaw. The price is 2300 rubles. On the Yandex. Market this product is recommended by 100% of buyers.
Bosch MFQ 4020
Another model in the ranking from Bosch. The mixer of the Styline series with a power of 450 W, like the Moulinex HM 4101. They are identical in the number of speeds (there are 5 of them). But in the Bosch MFQ 4020 model, as in the Bosch MFQ 3010, there are 2 useful "chips" - a pulse mode and protection against overheating. The package includes 2 metal beaters for beating and 2 hooks for kneading dough. The attachments can be easily changed with a button, as in all models.
Benefits:
- pulse mode;
- overheat protection;
- very quiet.
Disadvantages:
- the power cord is short;
- very sensitive power button, be careful.
The Bosch model is almost flawless, save for a few minor caveats. In all other respects, this is an excellent mixer that copes with its duties, does not overheat, and works quietly. Price - 2950 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market this product is recommended by 93% of buyers.
Bosch MFQ 36480
The model provides everything that is possible for convenience and comfort. The ergonomic shape of the handle with the rubberized SoftTouch coating ensures comfort and safety in work. And the proximity of the controls will make using the mixer easy. All elements have been carefully thought out, the principles of noise reduction are fully followed. With a power of 450 W, the mixer has 5 speed modes, quickly switches to the "Turbo" mode with maximum power. Equipped with 2 whisks for whipping air cream, 2 hooks for kneading dough. Chops meat, nuts, chocolate for aromatic homemade baking with one universal chopper. Can work like a blender. The foot of the appliance is made of high quality stainless steel, there is a convenient measuring cup with a lid: can be used to store and cool drinks in the refrigerator.
Benefits:
- chopper function;
- blender function;
- good build quality;
- low noise level.
Disadvantages:
- plastic sleeves at the corollas;
- not repairable. If a part of the engine breaks down, the entire motor has to be replaced.
A very functional Bosch model works as a mixer, chopper, blender. This is a versatile 3-in-1 device that copes with all its functions. It's quite powerful but quiet. After about a year or two of use, problems arise with the engine parts: it will not work to replace them, you will have to change the entire motor. Price - 4000 rubles. On the Yandex. On the market, this product is recommended by 95% of buyers.
Braun HM 3135 WH
Model of the German engineering company Braun with a power of 500 W with 5 operating speed modes, "Turbo" and pulse mode. Thanks to SmartMix technology, the mixer is very convenient to work with. The motor is located directly above the attachment of the attachments, so the weight of the device is distributed correctly, the device is easy to hold while working with it. This model is versatile, has an excellent complete set, works as a mixer and blender. The set includes dough hooks, beaters, a blender leg, a chopper with knives, a 0.5 liter measuring bowl. The ComfortClick system guarantees a simple and intuitive attachment of the attachments, while the EasyClick system is responsible for the quick removal of the attachments by pressing one large button on the body. The design, ergonomic non-slip handle with Soft Grip coating make the mixer comfortable to hold in hand.
Benefits:
- modes "Turbo" + pulse;
- SmartMix technology;
- convenient system for attaching and removing attachments;
- good equipment;
- blender and chopper functions.
Disadvantages:
- heavy;
- high price;
- plastic blender attachment.
The Braun mixer turned out to be very technological, modern, with many functions and technologies. For all this, you will need to pay 4400 rubles. For this money, you will receive a powerful device with 5 speed modes, turbo and pulse modes. Even Bosch MFQ 36480 does not have such functionality. Considering the scope of delivery of this mixer, I can conclude that it is worth the money spent. On the Yandex. On the market this product is recommended by 91% of buyers.
KitchenAid 5KHM9212E
The youngest in the KitchenAid family of mixers, the 5KHM9212E Hand Mixer, delivers faster and more thorough beating than comparable models from other brands, thanks to its specially shaped whisks and 85W direct current motor that delivers high rotation power with minimal electricity consumption. 9 speed settings, soft start function that prevents splashing, LED speed indicator, soft non-slip grip, cord lock during storage, 2 versatile stainless steel turbo whisk for mixing and whipping, 2 steel kneading nozzles, 1 large 16-wire whisk for whipping, 1 rod mixer for cocktails, sauces, salad dressings, fabric case with branded logo for storing accessories.

- special design of rims;

Disadvantage:
- high price.
This model is assembled by hand, the service life is up to 25 years. The highest quality mixer in the ranking, but also the most expensive. Price - 13,200 rubles. I think it is very overestimated: for a smaller amount you can take a device no worse - for example, Braun HM 3135 WH or Bosch MFQ 36480. They are practically not inferior, and in many respects even win, because they are more technological and functional than the KitchenAid 5KHM9212E ... On the Yandex. On the market this product is recommended by 80% of buyers.
