What we like
- By far the cheapest mixer in this roundup and genuinely functional, not a toy
- Glass bowl lets you actually watch the mix — genuinely useful for judging whipped cream or meringue peaks
- Under 10 pounds, easy to lift in and out of a cabinet one-handed
- Compact footprint fits kitchens where a full-size KitchenAid doesn't
What we don't
- 4-quart bowl and 400-watt motor bog down fast on stiff bread dough
- Glass bowl is heavier and more fragile than it looks, and it's not cheap to replace alone
- Only three attachments, with no expansion ecosystem beyond them
- Plastic body and head hinge feel noticeably less substantial than metal-bodied competitors
