Top 5 Best Mixers

Mixers are the workhorses of the kitchen and should be viewed as an investment in your home.

Stand mixers can work blending and combining ingredients while you are working on other tasks in the kitchen ensuring you get your recipes made quickly and easily! We are going to cover the top five best mixers for use in your kitchen:

5. Starting off our list is the KitchenAid Classic 4-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer. This is a superb starter-mixer that will change the way you cook. It’s the lowest power model on our list but if you aren’t making bread on a consistent basis and budget is a concern, this is a great model. This mixer comes with a flat beater, a wire whip, and a hook. Many people across the country have bought this starter unit and it has served them well for decades.

4. Coming in at number four is the Cuisinart 5-1/2-Quart Stand Mixer. This 800 watt model has some premium features like a slow-start function and a tilt-back head for ease of use. However, the star features of this mixer are the multiple power outlets that it has. There are three outlets for high, medium, and low speed attachments ranging anywhere from a blender, food processor, juicer, meat grinder, to even a pasta maker. For someone who wants a multi-purpose machine that can still have the power and durability to bake double batches on a regular basis, this could be the mixer for you.

3. Number three is the Viking Professional 5 -quart Stand Mixer. This is, as it’s name implies, is a professional model that has an 800 watt motor – the highest on our list. It has 12 speeds which is, again, the highest on our list. This is a very versatile machine for many attachments. If you are a bread baker or make thick cookies like oatmeal raisin cookies – this may be the mixer for you. These are for those extreme bakers who are going to be using their mixers a lot. It’s a heavy duty unit, but thankfully Viking has thoughtfully placed wheels in the base that allow you to roll it around on the counter.

2. Coming in at number two is the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer. These are the standard and have been for years. Even better, they now come in a huge variety of colors. This is a powerful machine with 10 speeds, a tilt-back head, and a five quart stainless steel bowl. The principal package includes the flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip. For those who feel like they don’t need to step up to the 6 quart model at the top of the list, this is the best mixer choice.

1. At number one, the top best mixer is the KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer. This is for the folks who need a near-professional grade mixer to perform for them reliably every time. Again, this features 10 speeds but is backed by a very powerful 575 watt motor. The capacity sees a bump registering at 6 quarts for those times when your cakes, breads, and cookie batches are for the whole family. The extra large capacity and soft start mixing function also helps to limit spills out onto the counter. For protection of your mixer, this model also automatically shuts off when overload is detected to preserve the motor which will keep this unit running for a long time. This model is the perfect combination of power, durability, and price. You can’t go wrong with the KitchenAid 600 6 quart mixer.
