Mixing the dough of cookies, bread, and more is a baking skill that many people pick up in their kitchens. For this update we tested 14 excellent dough mixers and came away with one top winner. We tested fixed blade bowl mixers, stand mixers, and handheld mixers, and rated their overall ease of use in our lab and in the field, considering pros, cons, and price tag.

We are sure you'll find the perfect dough mixer for your home. Earning our top pick for 2019 was Breville's BBM600XL Stand Mixer, which earned praise for its six-speed mixing ability, range of attachments and attachments, and price point.

WONDERMILL -Complete Bread Dough Mixer Machine with Dough Hook -Bread Kneader and Dough Maker - Dough Kneading Machine Mixers Kitchen Electric Stand Mixer -Upgraded Wondermix Revolution Kitchen Mixer

WONDERMILL -Complete Bread Dough Mixer Machine with Hook Dough -Bread Kneader and Dough Maker

by Brownwick, LLC

EASY-TO-USE AND STORE - The mixer is designed to be taken apart for easy cleanup and storage. It is made of safe, durable, and food-grade plastic that will not rust or corrode.

The WonderMill mixer is a multi-purpose machine, and with its 5.2-amp motor it has enough power to mix dough, veggies, and fruit, as well as knead bread dough. The motor is loud, but that's to be expected in a mixer, and it's easy to control. The mixer's controls are simple and well-placed, and the machine includes everything you need to make a loaf of bread, including kneading paddles and a dough hook, and a recipe book with 100 recipes. The mixer itself is well-made, although its power cord is too short, so you'll need to run an extension cord if you want enough length to reach the power outlet. The mixer is powerful enough to mix large amounts of dough, and it comes with a variety of attachments, including a shredding disc and pasta-making attachments. The kneading paddle and dough hook are both made of commercial-grade stainless steel, and the mixer's plastic housing is durable and easy to clean. The mixer comes with a one-year warranty.

Dough Mixer with Ferment Function, Microcomputer Timing & Face-up Touch Panel, KICHOT 5 QT 230W Multifunctional Dough Maker Machine with Kneading Blade for Baking, Cake, Cookie, Mixing SM-1591(Black)

KICHOT Dough Mixer Ferment with Function

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN & LOW NOISEEasy to install and remove. 304 stainless steel basin and kneading blade makes using and cleaning more convenient. The splash guard prevents dry ingredients from dusting up and the batter from spattering. Anti-skid silicone suction cups keep the mixer stable and safe during operation, avoiding movement or bouncing to reduce noise. To create a better experience, the noise generated has been repeatedly tested and adjusted to below 60db.

This dough mixer is the pick of the best because of its combination of value, performance, and versatility. It mixes ingredients quickly and thoroughly, and it's an especially good choice if you want to mix dough for bread, tortillas, cookies, cakes, or muffins. The heating element is large and powerful enough to heat up to 210°F, and the dough mixer's touch panel is large and easily legible, with a control that is responsive but not too sensitive. The dough mixer has a fairly quiet motor, but it's a little noisier than some. The mixer's bowl is large and can hold enough dough for 1-6L batches, and it also has a handy viewing window that lets you check the progress of your dough without opening the lid. The dough mixer's simple design and user-friendly operation make it simple for anyone to use, but it's powerful enough to handle tough doughs, from pizza dough to thick cookie dough. Other highlights include a 5-quart bowl that's large enough for 1-6L batches of dough and a removable beater that makes it easy to clean the mixer. We especially like the mixer's optional mixing speed dial, which lets you choose from 3 speeds (130, 210, and 260 revolutions per minute), and the machine's 110V plug, which helps cut down on shipping costs.

Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer, 4 Quarts, Dough Hook, Flat Beater Attachments, Splash Guard 7 Speeds with Whisk, Black with Top Handle

Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer

by Hamilton Beach

Same mixing action as KitchenAid stand mixers. This mixer performs better than 2-beater stand mixers, and features the popular tilt-up head design for adding ingredients and changing attachments quickly.

The Hamilton Beach 4-Quart Stand Mixer is a powerful, easy-to-use mixer that definitely lives up to its promise of effortless mixing. Its large 4-quart bowl is the perfect size for making large batches of bread, cookie dough, and cake batter. The bowl's rubberized interior is not only durable, but it's extremely easy to clean. The mixer's 4-speed switch makes it easy to go from a slow stir to a fast mix, and the switch is easy to operate from both sides of the mixer. The mixer's brushed metal exterior is attractive, and controls are laid out in a logical, easy-to-understand way. The only drawback is that because it's so powerful, the mixer can sometimes spatter, so it's recommended to wear glasses when mixing. The mixer comes with a dough hook, whisk, and flat beater, and all three attachments are well-made, easy to use, and easy to clean. The mixer comes with a one-year warranty, which is longer than most, and Hamilton Beach offers excellent customer service.

The splash guard with access port helps add ingredients more easier during mixing process, prevents dry ingredients from dusting up and the batter from spattering. Anti-skid silicone suction cups keep the mixer stable and safe during operation, avoiding movement or bouncing to reduce noise. 70db.

We researched several stand mixers and chose the KICHOT 10+P as the best overall value. It has an overload protector, which protects the motor from damage if the bowl isn't properly secured, and its motor is powerful enough to handle doughs, but gentle enough for light mixing. The 4.8-quart bowl is large enough to mix large batches of bread dough or cake batter. The mixer also includes a broad selection of accessories, including a spatula, a wire whip, a dough hook, and a splash guard. The bowl and motor are top-rack dishwasher safe, but Allen said the stand mixer is easy to clean by hand. The mixer also includes a solid warranty. The KICHOT 10+P was easy to set up and works fine. The motor is quiet, and the machine performs well, mixing cake batter, cookies, and bread dough. Allen said the dough hook works well, and mixing bread dough in the machine is a breeze. The nonslip rubber feet keep the mixer in place, and the mixer's tilt-head design makes it easy to add ingredients. The KICHOT 10+P is a great choice for bakers who want solid performance, and it's even better value than our previous top pick.
