9 best planetary mixers

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Professional equipment is now available for home use. It makes cooking easier by shortening the time spent in the kitchen. The advent of the household planetary mixer was a revolution. Now you can easily mix the required ingredients, whipping cream or kneading dough for all types of baked goods.

Planetary mixers were originally used only in production. The devices are a container for products, a kneading nozzle and a motor installed inside the structure. Ease of use lies in the fact that the participation of the cook is required only at the very beginning. A person just needs to load the necessary ingredients inside, turn on the device, and you can continue to do other things. The name of the mixer comes from the rotation system, where the movement is carried out not only around the axis, but also around the circumference.

Experts analyzed the household appliances market and studied consumer reviews. Based on this information, today's rating has been prepared, including the 9 best planetary mixers.

How to choose a planetary mixer

1. Tasks. The device performs two main tasks: kneading and whipping. Any additional functions, if any, should not affect the quality of these tasks. It is better to choose conventional planetary mixers, without unnecessary options, then the purchase amount will be much less.
2. Power. For home cooking, an average of 800-1000 watts will be enough. Devices with a power of 1600-2000 W are much more expensive, and the output capacity is enough for a small culinary production.
3. Body material. All parts must be made of durable plastic and stainless steel, as they will come into contact with food during operation. The plastic housing reduces the overall weight of the device, is easy to clean and also cheaper. All metal should be purchased in case the product will not be carried from place to place.
4. Bowl. This element is one of the most important. If the case is made of plastic, then it is better to choose a bowl made of stainless steel. Plastic is capable of absorbing fats and odors, which is unhygienic. A capacity of less than 2 liters will suit few. It would be more optimal to purchase a planetary mixer with a bowl of 2-4 or 4-6 liters, depending on the number of people on whom the food is being prepared. A bowl with handles is much more convenient, so pay attention to this parameter.
5. Whipping speed. Each model has different whipping speed. There are no specific recommendations for this parameter. The only thing that experts note is the possibility of smooth adjustment. This function will allow you to choose the right speed for each specific task.
6. Nozzles. The kit should include three necessary attachments: a whisk, a stirring paddle and a dough hook. They, like the case, can be made of durable and high quality plastic or stainless steel.
7. Comfortable use. The rubberized feet ensure stability on the surface, and the lid will avoid splashes that can stain your kitchen. Give preference to a transparent lid, then you don't have to remove it to follow the cooking process. A cord compartment will help you keep your device more compact.
8. Safety. Overload protection will ensure the device has a long service life. If there is no automatic fuse, then the purchase of such a model should be discarded. It is also good if the planetary mixer has protection against restarting, switching on when the lid is open and with an incorrectly installed bowl.
