This nifty kitchen appliance is great for those who want quick and effortless baking assistance but don't have the workspace or cash to get a large countertop mixer. These devices are a joy to use regularly, and most importantly they tend to be easy to clean and maintain.
Kenwood HM320
This machine has a powerful 250 watt motor making it relatively powerful amongst other hand mixers. Easy to use, dishwasher safe, solidly built and available to buy for around £20 it won't break the bank either. It also comes with dough hooks so you can even have a go at making bread.
Wahl James Martin electric hand mixer
This device has a powerful 300 watt motor (with turbo booster for added oomph!) and rubberised handle making light work of whisking and beating ingredients. It's also got five speed settings to enable you to beat to perfection and comes with a selection of good quality chome attachments and a little recipe book from chef James Martin. All in all, this mixer is great value at under £25 and compact enought to wedge in a kitchen when not in use.
Breville SHM2
We love the versatility of this mixer, with the option to detach it from the stand and use as a handheld mixer. It's got five settings, all available on high and low speeds making it great for whipping, whisking, mixing and kneading. It comes with a couple of attachments, is dishwasher safe and is a super all-rounder to satisfy all your mixing needs.
