Choosing a mixer most often turns into choosing a brand. We pay attention not so much to the characteristics of the model as to the reputation of the company. Here KitchenAid is yes! And Polaris - well, mediocre. Is this approach correct? Oddly enough, yes. If you know what pitfalls may be in a product you like.
In expensive brands, the declared power of the mixer is most often close to the real one, in contrast to cheap counterparts. A plastic bowl is not as cool as a metal one. It is better to check the speed switch on the spot so as not to suffer later from flying graduations or a stuck handle. In inexpensive models, the corollas fly out of the grooves during the whipping process much more often than in the top ones. In a small kitchen, a stationary mixer will take up half of the kitchen unit. Too lazy to remember all this? Then read our list of the best kitchen mixers and choose the model for you.
