But what we really liked about this mixer is that it’s got the same attachment release trigger as our best overall mixer pick. The rolling-style lever that controls the power and speed has a raised notch that makes it easy to control with your thumb while the machine is on. Like most other models, the power and speed controls are on top of the mixer, along with a QuickBurst button for a hit of extra power. The first thing we noticed while testing this mixer was how easy it was to use one-handed, thanks in part to the relatively light weight of the machine and partially because of the placement of all of the operating functions.

But there were a few features that set the Professional 5-speed hand mixer apart from the others. We tested three Hamilton Beach hand mixers for this collection, including the Magnolia Bakery collaboration model, and were happy with the way all of them performed. Additionally, the metallic label band that wraps around the mixer culminates in a projected base, which acts as a kick-stand if you need to set the mixer down mid-project. The cord coming out of the back of the machine can be adjusted to swivel left or right, and locks in place so it stays out of the way, regardless of which hand you’re operating it with. At the highest speed, it didn’t feel like we would lose control of the mixer, and splatters were minimal.Ī few small touches make the design of this machine a little more helpful while in use.

It feels comfortable enough to grip for several rounds of baking projects and while mixing thick cookie dough. We also especially liked about it was how light and easy it was to handle during testing. There’s a “burst” button in-line with the speed wheel on top to help power through chunks in your dough or frosting. We found that it was easy to adjust the speed of the mixer with one hand while using the machine and noticed that the transition between speeds was gradual and smooth thanks to the Slow Start Technology. There are five speed settings, controlled by a wheel on top of the mixer, which also turns the machine on and off. Two classic beaters and a whisk attachment are included, as well as a storage case that snaps onto the bottom of the hand mixer for convenience. The vintage seafoam green color is instantly attractive, matching the retro-inspired shape of the mixer itself. Hand mixers are ideal for mixing up a batch of cupcakes, which makes this Magnolia Bakery-branded hand mixer from Hamilton Beach the perfect companion for home bakers. We noticed that the machine is louder than other models at its top speeds, although the mixer didn't show any other signs of struggling (like overheating or excessive shaking). The additional two speeds made for seamless speed changes, and the SmoothStart feature keeps ingredients from flying out of the bowl the moment you turn the mixer on. Nine speeds are more than what most hand mixers offer, so we weren't convinced that it was necessary to have that many-until we tried it for ourselves.

Additionally, the power cord is thoughtfully designed to swivel to the left or right, and locks in place to stay out of the way while you're mixing-conveniently adaptable to left or right-handed users.ĭuring testing, the Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus tackled everything from whisking together dry ingredients and whipping cream, to mixing thick peanut butter cookie and bread doughs. Rather than a button to release the beaters on top of the handle, there's a trigger latch on the inside of the handle, where you’re less likely to accidentally hit it. The design of this hand mixer played a big part in receiving our top vote! The inside of the handle is curved, similar to the handle of a knife, which we found made for a comfortable and stable grip while mixing, even when one-handed. The ultra-convenient clip-on storage case holds the power cord and all of the mixing attachments, even the included plastic spatula. The powerful motor operates has one-touch digital speed control that lets you easily select and move through the nine settings while the mixer is in use. This Cuisinart hand mixer includes all the features you need, plus a few extras that make it our favorite choice. Cuisinart Power Advantage Plus 9-Speed Hand Mixer Review
