The 11 Best Hand Mixers and Stand Mixers to Help You Bake Like a Pro

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer ($450)

KitchenAid is one of — if not the — most well-known brands in the culinary world. That's for a reason. Briskin calls the Artisan Series mixer one of the top choices on the market — and when you're investing in something pricey, like a standing mixer, "you want to make sure you're making a solid investment," Briskin says. It boasts 10 speeds and 59 touchpoints around the entire bowl, ensuring that all ingredients are properly and thoroughly mixed before baking. All that's left is to choose from one of its 20 different colors.
