Product Information

The Oster HeatSoft Hand Mixer has one of the smarter designs in our lineup of the best hand mixers thanks to its heated technology.Gone are the days of waiting for your butter to reach room temperature with this baking gadget, which also has great mixing power.

I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the Braun MultiMix 5 Hand Mixer, and found that it could perform alongside the most prestigious models out there. It has plenty of worthwhile features to keep your attention, from the easy-clean design to the extra bonus of those dough hook attachments. The KitchenAid Cordless Mixer and the Braun MultiMix 5 also have the same number of speeds, with both having a great range. The Braun certainly feels more powerful, but the results are mostly the same. In terms of ease of use, the Braun was slightly easier to hold onto, thanks to the ergonomic grip.Every hand mixer in our guide has a speed setting for any task you may wish to use it for, but it's no surprise that the more premium options offer more speeds. These will give you more flexibility in the kitchen and offer a wider range of functions for keen home chefs.

Another standout feature of the Braun MultiMix 5 is that an effort has been made to keep clean-up to an absolute minimum. The mixer has a completely sealed body, making it so that none of your mixture can seep inside the housing, and effectively wreak havoc inside. Instead, you'll have no trouble with wiping down the exterior of your mixer, and popping the attachments into your dishwasher (or washing them in soapy water if you prefer). How it compares

Find the right spare part for your Braun product.

Considering buying a stand mixer instead? We compared the hand mixer vs stand mixer to see which made a better batch of brownies. Can a hand mixer replace a stand mixer? Stand mixers are bigger, so can take on bigger batches and, because they have more speed and power and are hands-free, are much more suited to regular bakers who cook for a crowd or freezing ahead. Most stand mixers have more attachments than most hand mixers, so always interrogate what you are getting for your money when comparing. Every hand mixer will come with beaters as standard, but some offer extras including dough hooks, balloon whisks, and even spatulas for increased functionality.
