How to choose a mixer
Pay attention to these characteristics when choosing a mixer.
- Body material. It is advisable to choose devices made of durable plastic or stainless steel food.
- Engine power. Performance depends on engine power and speed, a device with a power of up to 250 W cannot knead a tough dough, from 500 W they cope with this task.
- Number of speeds. In simple models, as a rule, there are 3 speed modes, but if you cook a lot, then choose a device with a lot of speeds.
- Picking. Nozzles are preferable to choose from stainless steel. As a standard, this is a whisk and a spiral, there are also additional ones: a sieve, an electric knife, a mashed squeezer, a chopper, etc.
- The volume of the bowl. The most versatile bowl volume is 3 liters. It is better if stainless steel is made, it is more reliable in use in comparison with plastic and glass.
- Functionality. Additional features of automatic shutdown when overheating and a timer will help you not to worry about security.

What is the difference from a planetary mixer
The stationary mixer has slight differences from the planetary. Both devices are, by definition, an automated machine that mixes various ingredients. The planetary device is characterized by the presence of rotating corollas around its axis and vice versa. Due to the large area of the nozzles, the products whip much faster. At the stationary mixer, the engine and nozzles are in motion, due to which the products are mixed to a homogeneous consistency. It is not necessary to hold it in your hands. You must set the pace and time and the device will work offline.
Selection tips
To make the right purchase and not regret it after some time of use, some tips from experienced buyers and experts will help:
- Pay attention to the power indicator. The larger it is, the better the device.
- If you plan to cook large volumes of products, then take a volumetric bowl (3-5 liters).
- To avoid difficulties in storage and transfer, you should take compact and lightweight devices, but you should not expect high performance from them.
- The long power cable will not hinder movement during operation and limit the installation location.
- The presence of nozzles in the kit will be a big plus. Usually it includes a standard, whisk and hook.
- Evenly mixing the ingredients provides a planetary rotation of the bowl.
- Convenience in storage of cable and nozzles provides a special compartment in the housing.

Advantages and disadvantages
Each stationary mixer has a housing with mixing elements, as well as a bowl and stand. The last element is designed to fix the mixer itself and the mixing tank. Moreover, other structural details are removable.
The main advantage of such a device is that it is able to work independently in the mode you have chosen, and at the same time you will not have to make a single effort.
You can free your hands in this way and start preparing other ingredients for cooking or just get distracted. Each stationary mixer is more powerful than manual models. In addition, its design is more reliable and stable.
A very unusual and useful kind of device with a stand is a planetary mixer. This stationary device has several rotating elements. Such models with the help of a special mechanism simultaneously turn the nozzles, and the bowl and even the stand. This technology allows you to achieve more intensive mixing and bringing the products to a homogeneous consistency.
The stationary planetary kitchen mixer is perfect for the manufacture of confectionery products of any complexity, and especially for kneading dough, and the different elements of this device rotate along separate motion paths. These are very high-quality and useful devices, but they have one drawback - a rather high price.
Some models of stationary mixers are equipped with two nozzles at once.
They have higher performance, but more power is needed for their operation. But with the help of such a device you can get any cream, as well as make a very magnificent dough. The disadvantage of a stationary mixer with two nozzles is that its size is quite significant. More compact are models of such products that have only one removable nozzle, in such devices the dressing elements for mixing are much larger than in a mixer with two nozzles.
All mixers that have several rotating elements, whether it is a bowl, stand or nozzle, have a rather high cost. But this price is due to the high quality of their work. Such devices are usually professional. That is why these models are so popular among cooks.
An important advantage of a stationary type mixer is that it has high power. It performs a much larger number of functions than manual models, and it suits them more efficiently. Also, the stationary structure is stronger, even the interchangeable nozzles included with this device are made of more durable materials.
The big advantage of stationary mixers, compared to manual mixers, is that such a model can be easily disassembled and washed. She is not afraid of water or other exposure.
Hand models, by contrast, are very afraid of moisture.
They can only be wiped outside, acting very carefully. The only drawback of the stationary mixer, due to which some housewives prefer manual models, is that it has rather large dimensions. To store it, you must provide a special cabinet or other place.
Criterias of choice
The right choice of stationary mixer is very important, because a correctly selected model can greatly simplify the cooking process and will not bring unnecessary inconvenience. That is why you should choose devices with high performance. They will greatly save your time and effort.
Mixer operating time and performance are directly dependent on its power.
Models with a higher power rating do much better with mixing products, as well as whipping thick dough. A device with a power of 500 W allows for a short period of time to make a dough of any complexity, usually any professional mixer has this indicator. It is quite powerful and perfect for home, if you often bake.
An important role in the entire design of the stationary mixer is played by nozzles, with the help of which the components are whipped or mixed. Depending on the shape, there are beaters for whipping, hooks for creams and ordinary nozzles for mixing. Most importantly, keep in mind that the nozzles are in direct contact with food. That is why it is important to purchase devices whose elements are made of high quality and reliable materials.
It’s best to buy stationary mixers with stainless steel nozzles.
When choosing a stationary type mixer, great attention must be paid to the removable bowl. This element is an integral part of the design, so it can only be replaced with a similar one. That is, it will not be possible to purchase separately a container of a different size, since it may not be suitable. The size of the whole structure will depend on the size of the bowl.
When choosing a mixer, try to choose a model with a bowl volume that is 1-1.5 liters more than what you want. This difference is due to the fact that you cannot use the entire volume, since when mixing the ingredients inside will scatter or splash. Do not forget that you cannot fill the bowl of the stationary mixer to the brim.
The professional mixer has a removable vessel - a bowl with a capacity of more than 3 liters, usually such models are characterized by increased power. With their help, you can cook a larger volume of products. When purchasing a mixer, pay attention to the material from which the bowl is made. As a rule, manufacturers offer devices with metal or plastic elements.
A mixer with a metal bowl is more reliable and safe, but such a device will cost more than models with plastic elements. Bowls made of plastic also have a number of advantages. Very often they are made of transparent materials, so it will be easier for you to measure the amount of ingredients, while you will see to what extent the products are mixed or whipped.
Additional functions
Almost every kitchen mixer has at least one additional function, especially when it comes to professional stationary models. The most popular feature is switching the speed of the device. Different models of mixers have a different number of operating speeds, which ranges from two to five, but professional devices can have even more than ten speed modes.Such mixers have a separate button for each speed with the image of products that are recommended to be whipped or mixed at a given speed mode.
There are also very interesting models that have an additional turbo function.
It is able to increase the speed of rotation of the nozzles in a short time, but this effect will be short-lived. The peculiarity of this additional function is that after a few seconds the speed of the device will return to normal mode.
The turbo mode requires a very large power, experts do not recommend to use it often, since such an application can lead to a rapid ignition of the device’s engine. It is better to use it once, for example, in order to get rid of lumps in the preparation of the dough.
A very interesting additional feature is the presence of a pulse mode.
It allows you to adjust the speed and power of the mixer by pressing a button.
