Thinking about how to choose a mixer for domestic use, you should pay attention to five key parameters, including power, bowl material, volume, nozzles and modes. Consider the optimal characteristics:

For stationary models, the optimal indicator is 500-800 watts, for planetary models in the region of 900-1200 watts, for manual models - no more than 500 watts. Please note that power consumption also depends on performance;
2. Bowl material - there are plastic, metal and glass containers for mixers. The first are the cheapest, attract with ease, but have a short service life. When buying such an apparatus, make sure that the bowl does not fonil characteristic low cost inherent in low-quality plastic .. Metal analogues are more expensive, but more practical and reliable. The most environmentally friendly, expensive and stylish version of the container is glass. But it is subject to minor mechanical damage. Shockproof models are even more expensive;
3. The volume of the tank is enough for a home from 1 to 3 liters, but on sale you can find up to 6 liters. Here it should come from the frequency of operation of the device and the volume of prepared products. It is desirable that the bowl has a special lid with openings for the smooth addition of products;
4. Modes and functions - among the whole variety of additional modes, pulse (the engine runs jerkily) and turbo mode are really useful;
5. Useful nozzles - in most cases, the basic equipment includes a whisk (for beating), a hook (for dough), a spatula (for working with liquid products), a blender (for chopping) and a rod with a knife (for children's dishes).

Manual counterparts are suitable for preparing simple dishes. Stationary units for more time-consuming tasks, including kneading dough. Planetary models are aimed at users who are fond of baking, cooking confectionery. Power must be selected taking into account the capacity and frequency of cooking.
