Today, more and more manufacturers are trying to hide cheap materials and modest technical characteristics of their faucets behind interesting names for unusual technologies and functions. It is important to understand that such devices have a simple design and perform a narrow list of functions – whipping and mixing products. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the best household faucets of 2021 that have positive reviews from real buyers. Conventionally, all these devices can be divided into several types:
- Hand mixers are inexpensive models that require you to hold the device in your hand while cooking. The design of such products is based on low-power, often unpretentious materials.
- Stationary mixers are the most common solutions, equipped with a stand and a special container for attaching products. In this way, user work can be minimized. The disadvantages of such devices include size, higher price and difficult cleaning of food debris.
- Planetary mixers – originally designed for confectioners who have to perform large amounts of work. Today, such products are used not only for thick mixtures, but also at home. This is explained by the more efficient operation of the technique, since in the process of work a double rotation is performed (the nozzles rotate around the axis and the base itself).
There are also combined models that provide for the separation of the rims from the stand.

How to choose a good mixer for home use?
Conventionally, all mixers can be divided into three types: household, professional and semi-professional. Based on the requirements, experts provide various features and recommendations for those who do not know how to choose a faucet on their own. We consider the optimal standards of household appliances:
- Power: in other words, the higher this characteristic, the more dense and complex mixtures the device can handle. For soft products, about 150 W is enough, but for dense dough it is better to choose up to 300 W (we are talking about manual models). For stationary analogues, the norm is 300-400 W (rated power). For combined mixers, the optimal range is from 250 to 500 W, respectively.
- The volume of the bowl is one of the main parameters in terms of performance. Here it is necessary to increase the number of family members. For 2-3 users, up to 2.5 liters is enough, for 4-5 – up to 3.5 liters. Planetary mixers tend to have larger bowls than stand mixers because they have a wider range of applications. For domestic needs, more than 7 liters is rarely required.
- Mode – for modern devices, the turbo mode is already considered the standard, which greatly simplifies the work with dense products. For stationary models, bowl rotation is a useful mode. Some mid-range and premium models support the slow start feature.
- The package is good if the device supports overload protection, a rubberized handle, legs and a button for detaching accessories. For ease of use, some manufacturers equip their devices with a cable compartment, a control panel and a separate button for adjusting the speed.
- Weight: depends on the material, design complexity and internal elements. The lower the indicator in the presence of a solid structure, the better. In the case of portable devices, you often have to opt for plastic so that your hands do not get too tired during work.
What is the best mixer to buy for home in 2021?
