Wirecutter's top pick: the only mixer in its test to handle chunky cookie dough without strain, and quieter than the rest, with a soft start. It comes without dough hooks or a case, and some owners find it underpowered.
Top complaints
- No dough hooks or storage case
Wirecutter notes it comes only with beaters and one whisk; dough hooks cost extra (about $24) and there is no case.
Source: Wirecutter - Fiddly buttons and switch
Wirecutter says the speed buttons are hard to press because of a raised metal divider. Amazon's summary says some owners find the speed control hard to change and the on/off switch awkward with one hand.
- Power and mixing split owners
Amazon's summary says speed, power and mixing performance get mixed feedback, with some owners finding the power insufficient.
What owners love
- Strong on chunky cookie dough
Wirecutter says it was the only model to cream butter and sugar and fold in all the mix-ins without slowing down or warming up.
Source: Wirecutter - Quiet, with a soft start
Its DC motor ran with a low whir where others shrieked, and it ramps up gently so dry ingredients don't fly (Wirecutter). Amazon owners praise the quiet operation and slow start.
- Light and comfortable
About 2 lb, among the lightest Wirecutter tested; Amazon owners like the light weight and ergonomics.
