Fresh whipped cream is always a crowd pleaser. And mountains of warm garlic mashed potatoes are the very peak of comfort food. What do they have in common? Both are made with a hand mixer. A hand mixer is a, well, handy appliance for whether you need to smooth out lumps or whip up a quick dessert.
We chatted with Nicole Papantoniou, director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances & Culinary Innovation Lab, to learn more about the handheld appliance that is useful for both novice and experienced bakers.
“Hand mixers are small, compact and affordable,” says Papantoniou. “They’re a good entry into baking. They can do most baking tasks and are relatively easy to clean.”
Today’s hand mixers are powerful enough to work through dense dough or even gently melt butter to make sure your chocolate chip cookies are crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. We discovered models for a variety of budgets and with a host of different storage options and attachments. Read more to find out what you should consider before you buy a hand mixer.

How we picked these products

Let’s get some ideas in the mix. To find the best hand mixers, we consulted our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust. They evaluated the food dehydrators by beating egg whites, whipping cream, and mixing cookie dough. They compared the models on a variety of factors, including performance, ease of use, how easy it was to connect and remove attachments, as well as clean those attachments and the machine.
