It's great when the kitchen appliances do everything themselves. A stationary mixer with a bowl will knead the dough perfectly on the patties while you are preparing the filling, and will also whip the cream, meringue proteins or homemade mayonnaise on your own. Want yourself such a helpful assistant? Then get acquainted with the best models of desktop mixers that fall into our TOP-5.

KitchenAid Artisan (5KSM180LE) - the most functional mixer
A “homemade” mixer with a good power of 300 watts looks solid and expensive. This model has a large selection of speeds - there are 10 of them with the ability to adjust the speed of the nozzles in the range of 58-220 min-1.
And to Artisan, you can purchase additional devices connected to the front exit of the shaft, and turn the mixer into a vegetable cutter, juicer, pasta machine, or meat grinder.
Pros:
- Specifically, this model belongs to the limited series, but in the Artisan lineup there are more available analogues in 26 colors.
- The strong case cast from a zinc alloy, and a big bowl on 4,8 l from a stainless steel.
- Reliable mechanical speed control.
- Planetary rotation system nozzles that do not leave lumps on the walls.
- The bowl has a comfortable side handle and a transparent lid with a loading opening.
- Included is a cookbook with interesting recipes.
- Five year warranty.
Minuses:
- The price of 80 thousand rubles will not be affordable for everyone. Additional accessories are also not cheap - for each functional nozzle will have to pay from 3 to 20 thousand.
- A large weight (11 kg) will not allow the mixer to be moved from place to place each time.
Bork B810 - with combined control and display
This mixer only looks similar to other planetary models. Inside, he hides a smart stuffing, which "directs" the operation of the device. Exposed mode is displayed on the LED scale, and a special indicator lights up if the mixer motor feels overloaded.
Bork's combined control is as reliable as the mechanics, but it is easier to adjust thanks to the built-in electronics.
Pros:
- Sturdy stainless steel case.
- Spacious bowl of 4.7 liters.
- Powerful kilowatt engine.
- 12 high-speed modes, besides the mixer itself can pick up the necessary turns taking into account viscosity and volume of mix.
- Smooth start and support of the main mode at one level.
- There is a sleep timer with a sound signal to safely leave the mixer to work unattended.
- Pause mode to control the consistency of the dish.
- The convenient wide handle on the folding block.
- The whole 4 single nozzles in a set.
- Self-diagnosis function with error code display.
Minuses:
- Too heavy - together with the bowl the device weighs almost 8 kg.
- The shiny case and stainless steel container will have to constantly rub to shine.
- Price 45 thousand rubles.
Starwind SPM5184 - powerful semi-professional model
The classic planetary mixer, where the nozzles rotate around its axis and additionally “bypass” the bowl along the walls, picking up lumps and pieces of food.
Starwind models look stylish thanks to the original colors (red or coffee with milk), as well as the slight effect of metallic flicker on the body. But the main thing here is the high power of 1 kW, which puts these mixers on the same level as professional devices.
Pros:
- Durable metal housing and a very large 5.5 l stainless steel bowl.
- 6 mixing speeds, plus a pulse mode, which increases the efficiency of the nozzles.
- The device easily copes with kneading tight and crumbly dough.
- There is a lid that closes the bowl, without interfering with the halos to rotate. It also provides a neck for adding ingredients.
- Does not overheat even at maximum speed.
Minuses:
- Part of the models from the new batch came out with a factory defect of the speed knob. However, the manufacturer will send the reinforced part for replacement to anyone who has encountered this problem for free.
Moulinex Quickmix (HM3121B1) - an inexpensive suction cup mixer
This model is not particularly elegant, but it is assembled solidly (despite the plastic case). A 3.5 liter bowl rotates during mixing due to an additional gear drive, and the whole structure is securely attached to the table surface with suction cups.
The mixer has a good power of 300 W for a home appliance and is completed with two pairs of nozzles - whips for beating and hooks.
Pros:
- Strong and non-capricious in the care of a stainless steel bowl - deep enough so that nothing spills out of it during operation.
- 5 speeds, plus the Turbo program.
- It copes well with kneading dough without overheating the engine.
- The mixer itself is removable, so that it can be used separately from the stand, if necessary.
- There is a button to “snap off” the nozzles.
- Low cost in the range of 3.5-4 thousand rubles.
Minuses:
- Plastic, albeit quite strong body.
- No protective cover for the bowl.
Viconte VC-352 - compact device with compartments for nozzles
A small home mixer develops a surprisingly decent 300W power and has 5 speeds for working with products of different consistencies.
Unlike most similar devices, it is quite easy to disassemble, so it will be easy to clean it after cooking.
Pros:
- Compact size and low weight.
- The stand provides cells in which the complete nozzles can be fixed for storage.
- For better mixing, the bowl also rotates around its axis.
- There is a button that simplifies the extraction of nozzles from cartridges.
- Very low cost - in the range of 800-1000 rubles.
Minuses:
- Plastic container for mixing - it is lighter and cheaper than metal, but over time it is scratched and painted products.
- Too tight dough this mixer may not pull.
