Whether you want to spend big or just need a simple mixer, our expert testers give every stand mixer (also known as a benchtop or kitchen mixer) a thorough workout to find out which models:

  • are best at whisking, beating and kneading
  • are easiest to use
  • are easiest to clean
  • come with all the bells and whistles.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings that the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.

Stand mixers are ideal if you regularly make breads, cakes, pizza dough and other heavy batters, as they have more grunt than a hand mixer. 

We provide good and bad points for each stand mixer, and our Recommended list will quickly show you which models come out on top.
