"Fun fact about the WIRED Reviews team: Many of us have culinary backgrounds. To find the best stand mixers, we really leaned into our expertise. As former restaurant critics, recipe developers, cookbook editors, and food bloggers, our troupe knows when a stand mixer is destined for glutinous greatness or is meant to live in the shadow of the kitchen appliance titans."
"Versatile attachments: On top of the standard mixing, kneading, and whisking tools, some mixers offer attachments that can be bought separately. These include extra attachments for tasks such as shaving ice, rolling pasta sheets, grinding meat, citrus juicing, shredding, and slicing. Speed settings: These vary from model to model, but a stand mixer with a good variable speed range means you can launch gently to combine liquids and lighter ingredients and dial up the speed for thicker mixes when needed."
"Instant Pot Mixer for $150: Maybe you're just dipping your toes into the world of baking, or need a basic, affordable mixer to help you get your buffalo chicken dip together in a cinch. The Instant Pot mixer fits the bill, with some neat features that remind me of its infamous cousin, the actual Instant Pot. But it is eerily similar to the Aucma above, from the design and functionality to even the price tag."
Listings were updated in September 2025 to remove products no longer in stock in the US and UK, add recently tested mixers, update pricing, and add links to kitchen-related stories. The Instant Pot Mixer at $150 serves beginners and those seeking an affordable basic mixer, featuring functionality and design similar to the Aucma and echoing its Instant Pot namesake. Stand mixers offer versatile attachments that can shave ice, roll pasta, grind meat, juice citrus, shred, and slice. Variable speed ranges permit gentle starts for liquids and higher speeds for thick mixes. Common extras include a spatula, recipe booklet, and splash guard.
