Amy thanks for your great interesting and helpful reviews. I do have the Cuisinart mixer and I love it. I had bought a different brand mixer, which was a very good mixer, except it didn't seem to have a low speed. Even on the lowest setting, it seemed to be racing away from me. I gave it to my granddaughter, who loves it. Then I bought the Cuisinart. I agree it's a little heavy, but I've had no problems with it, and it's great for my purposes. As to the splattering-- I have a collection of stainless steel bowls saved from a couple of retired stand mixers, and these bowls are deep and have straight sides. These are the only bowls I use with my hand mixer, and nothing flies out.

These are excellent reviews, Amy, thank you. And the fatigue you experienced, etc. is why I make cookies with the stand mixer. I like the bigger, deeper bowl, more power, plus I don't have to hold the mixer. I love the Viking and you were lucky to get it.

Thanks Sashine. I agree. But for hand helds, this wasn't a bad comparison. Shows the limitation of various designs.

Great video as usual Amy and Eric. I have a Kitchen Aid but it the 5 speed Ultra Power. It works fine for me I use it for some cake batters and cookie doughs. I do wish it came with the whisk attachment but I can always buy onr. It's almost 20 years old. Most of the time I use my KA Ultra Power Stand mixer.

Amy, love your hand mixer reviews, on the subject of the Cuisanart mixer w/ storage case, the cord is to be stored in the storage case with the attachments. Now, I have an older 6 speed Hamilton Beach mixer with a storage case, same issue the cord stores away in the case as well. I also own a 3 speed Kitchen Aid basic power hand mixer from the late 90's, it was included free as a bonus gift when i bought my Kitchen Aid stand mixer in 1998 from a Department Store. That 3 speed mixer is perfect for light jobs, a few years ago i ordered the wire whisk attachment from Kitchen Aid for the hand mixer, it still performs well overall, the 3 speed is Kitchen Aid's basic power mixer. In addition i also have a 200 watt, 6 speed Hamilton Beach mixer that i bought cheap at Walmart back in 2003, it does not have the wire beaters, it has the traditional straight vain beaters only, its body design is identical in shape and style as the black one you chose as the winning mixer for under $30.00. My overall evaluation, my inexpensive Hamilton Beach mixer which is 18 years old is still going strong, id definitely buy another Hamilton Beach if push came to shove. Now the Kitchen Aid mixers are my second preference, i would only consider the winning Kitchen Aid model you tested, on part 2 for mixers $30.00 and over. Love your equipment reviews!!

I have used those beaters before too with the stem inside, thinking that it would mix better but it always got hung up, just like the viking did with you Amy.. I have the breville hand mixer and though its nice, I love the light that shines into your bowl but its heavy Amy, at least for my older shoulders. I wish they could make it lighter because then I would love it. I have used the kitchenaid 9 speed and found it awkward to change the speeds and dont care for the cuisinart at all. The one iM presently happy with is a hamilton beach 5 speed professional hand mixer. Its a pretty candy apple red. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. I see you have that horrid kenmore in back of you.. I thought you had returned the thing.. have a nice day Eric and Amy and thank you!

That was an interesting review, I hope you do another show down in 2022, I have a 15 plus year old 3 speed Bosch that still does fairly heavy cookie dough but is wearing out and will need to be replaced at some point in the future. I also find a deeper straighter sided mixing bowl works better for hand mixers.

Good review. I had the cuisinart but returned it because it was awkward to use and speeds weren’t ideal. I bought the exact architect and like it. But I also have a breville and it’s better than any hm I’ve used. However, beware that it overheats if used extended time like while making mayo. (It weirdly doesn’t have good air intake vents for cooling) Thanks Amy and Eric

I agree with the awkwardness of the Cuisinart. It is almost like it is off balance because the front is heavier. I've never used the Breville. I would love to try it because I am a fan of Breville.

With the Cuisinart you're supposed to put the cord inside with the beaters, whisk etc that's why it doesn't have a notch.

I have a Black & Decker hand mixer, and I make single loaves of bread with it, every other day using the dough hooks. It actually does a pretty good job, but again, I'm only making small loaves, about 12 inches in length. Love your videos. Keep them coming...

Thank you for watching. We appreciate it.

Thanks for your awesome reviews! I've had the Kitchenaid hand mixer for years and have loved it, but the motor is fizzling out, so I'm in the market for a new one. I bought the Cuisinart because I liked the container and the extra accessories. However, I was not happy with it; loud, the low speeds start out high and cause splatter before they calm down to low, and the controls were chintzy. So, I'm returning it, and went back on line and bought the newer Kitchenaid and purchased the whisk accessary separately.

my mom got me the cusinart as a gift and it’s not perfect but it’s ideal. i’m only a beginner so i’ll work my way up the top. it’s a cool hm and not that bad lol. i especially love the fact that it can rest on the table without making a mess :)

I've had a KitchenAid 5-speed hand mixer for over 20 years, and it's time to replace it. I like that the newer models have the adjustable cord feature. I was debating between the digital 7-speed or the 5-speed like I have now. After watching your video (and many others!), I've decided to go with the 5-speed. One of the features of the 7-speed and 9-speed mixers is that it will intuitively increase power when it senses a heavier dough, and I think that's why you felt like you were "losing control," and it was bucking. With the 5-speed, I won't have to worry about that. If I want more power, I just increase the speed, manually. Anyway, thank you for the thorough review. Yours was the one that helped me make my decision (and it was a tough decision!). Hopefully, I'm making the right one! : )

I'm still using my KitchenAid Ultra Power Soft Start 7 Hand Mixer, from 1992. It draws a mere 1-amp of power and weighs-in at [what now appears to be] a 'whopping' 1103 g. I must say I've never thought of it as heavy, but perhaps I need to reconsider that. And in spite of it providing yeoman service for these 25+ years, it has been acting flaky in its recent outings in the kitchen, so your review will come in quite handy as I replace it in the very-near future. Timing is everything - thanks so much for this great review.

The KitchenAid was definitely the smoothest mixer and the easiest to use. Glad to hear that you've had good luck with yours since the early 90s. I really like that KA. They have done a great job of making it one of the most comfortable and smooth hand mixers on the market.

Very pretty top you’re wearing and would buy it to wear. Could you let me know where I can purchase one I live in a burb in Illinois so we’re not going to run into one another wearing the same top. Thanks

Cuisinart: I had the same problem with the Cord, where does it go? It folds/tucks directly into the case with the beaters. The weight is not so heavy. It feels great to me.

Why did you not try the wire beaters of the Viking to make cookie dough when the regular beaters were "clogging"? Are the Viking wire beaters sturdy enough to mix cookie dough?

I want to invest in a kitchen aid hand mixer one day. Thanks for the review on the mixers. New subscriber here. I'm in my 20s and learning how to cook and bake. Better at baking. Lol

I bought the Architect last year one time when Macy's had a good sale. I really like it! I don't think cookies with a hand mixer is ever ideal though it will work if you need it to, but it does great with everything I have used it for. It's quiet, light and nice to use. I had a Cuisinart some years back for a short time but did not care for it. Low speed was much too fast and it would make a mess. If you have any taller, narrower bowls (I have a Fire King with a handle and spout, looks kind of like a smaller version of the glass Kitchenaid bowl) you might enjoy using it more with a hand mixer. I have a set bowls like the ones you were using and I don't like to use it as well with those.

I went with the 9 speed Kitchenaid, in candy apple red - it's the same motor and setup as the 7 speed. Love the quiet, smooth power, as you know I'm funny about appliance noises. I've had it for 2 years and it's still perfect. The Cuisinart is dated technology in my opinion, and noisy.

If I found the right Kitchenaid model, I'm not sure, but I found a Kitchenaid 7-speed on a Norwegian site, and it there said one place (product description) it had an 18 watt DC motor, but another place (technical specs) said 85 watt. So it is maximum 85 watt, I guess. But maybe as low as 18 watt. Sounds very low, but maybe it is so. Another motor, another technology, some magic and some good luck, and there you have it, an 18 watt mixer just as strong as anything else. Could be as easy as that. Or not.

Which is the quietest?

good to know that which one is better.

The Cuisinart cord tucks under the mixer and will fit in the plastic tool holder container. The whipping of cream is useless here unless one is comparing how fast they whipped. Ideally one want an hand mixer weighing under 3 lbs. The Viking has been tested by others and found to be more powerful. The KitchenAid is powerful and much quieter the previous AC motor models. If you were to use straight sided bowls the mixer would work more efficiently and less chance of spattering. Amy used the wire beaters instead of the regular beaters would have rated as good as the KitchenAid. There is no quantitative data , just Amy's opinion and judgement. Too bad you did not test the KitchenAid 9 speed, it has bigger wire beaters and soft-start too. The technique seen here was just awkward. Noticed you have brought out the Kenmore Ovation, are you planning to try testing it again? Amy you have done better reviews in the past you get a thumbs down for this video.

But the cord for the Cuisinart should also go in the box, and then you must rotate that thing so that if points inwards and not outwards. I don't have a Cuisinart, but it must be ment like that.

We have the Cuisinart hand mixer. The cord fits inside the case and the unit is supposed to click into the case. The case though doesn't stay connected to the hand mixer very well and falls off when you lift the mixer due to the weight of the tools. Bad design of this case, nice idea though. Other than that it mixes very well for us for hand mixing jobs. We have a silver model.
