The Globe SP20 Planetary mixer is more expensive than our previous top pick, the Chefman Planetary Mixer, but for households with two or more cooks, it's the better mixer. The SP20 has a more durable, higher-quality construction, and it comes with several useful features, such as an included flatware caddy, a pouring shield, and a 60-minute timer. The SP20's three speed settings are comparable with those of our top pick, and its performance is actually a bit better. The Chefman mixer has more powerful motor, but the SP20's gear-driven transmission feels smoother. The SP20 is heavier, but it's more balanced and easier to hold. The SP20 also comes with some handy accessories, like a chopstick rest, a pour shield, and a bowl scraper. The SP20 Tabletop Planetary Mixer also has a Limited Lifetime Warranty, which is longer that what Chefman offers.
The Waring Commercial WSM10L 10-quart countertop planetary mixer can mix a heavy batch of dough, whip cream, and, yes, even knead bread. It's the largest mixer we tested, and thanks to the planetary transmission, it can mix up to 10 quarts of liquid ingredients. It's quiet, too, and it produced very consistent results. The planetary transmission eliminates the risk of the ingredients getting stuck in the drive system, and the motor is powerful enough to mix dough without adding too much heat. The Waring Commercial WSM10L 10-quart countertop planetary mixer has a three-year warranty, which is longer than most mixers. The paddle, dough hook, and mixing whisk are well-made, and their set comes with plenty of accessories.
