The best...kitchen mixers
KitchenAid Artisan, Breville Scraper Mixer, and more
KitchenAid Artisan
KitchenAid’s standing mixers remain the benchmark—“beloved” as wedding gifts and highly rated in consumer testing. The Artisan series features a head that tilts side to side.

Breville Scraper Mixer
We liked this Breville even better than the KitchenAid. Its “primo mixing performance” is enhanced by a beater whose flexible edge scrapes the bowl clean as the beater turns.

Bodum Bistro Electric Stand Mixer
This good-looking mixer offers useful extras: a feeding chute, a splash guard, and suction cups on the base. We just wish the paddle reached the sides of the bowl.

KitchenAid 9 Speed Architect Series
The best hand mixer around is pricier than many alternatives, but it “powered through dense cookie dough and whipped cream in a jiffy.”

Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus
We prefer this “very user-friendly” Cuisinart, for both its price and its power. It also has a handy case for storing all attachments together.
