Experts say that although a hand mixer can't compete with a stand mixer, the compact KitchenAid Artisan 7-Speed Hand Mixer (formerly the KitchenAid 7-Speed Ultra Power Plus) can perform many tasks with ease, making it one of the best on the market. Experts report that the KitchenAid Artisan 7-Speed Hand Mixer mixes stiff cookie dough without slowing -- one of the toughest tasks for a hand mixer. The similarly priced KitchenAid Professional 9-Speed Hand Mixer (*Est. $70) has two additional speeds and comes with a separate stainless-steel whisk attachment. The KitchenAid Artisan 7-Speed Hand Mixer is included in rigorous testing at Cook's Illustrated and ConsumerReports.org. We also read several dozen owner-written reviews on this hand mixer at Amazon.com and Cooking.com.
