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

KitchenAid 7-Speed Hand Mixer ($75)

Between the oven fan, the stove fan, and the whirring blender, kitchens can get noisy. Add a hand mixer to the mix and you've got some serious chaos. So when it came to hand-mixer qualifications, quietness is a must have for dietitian and chef Sara Haas, RDN, LDN. In fact, she notes that in her own choice of hand mixer, she wants to pare down the noise pollution without sacrificing on features like multiple speeds.

This mixer checks all of these boxes, as reviewed by one Amazon customer: "So compact and lightweight for the amount of power it generates and unbelievably quiet — even at full speed!" Additionally, customers rave about the "soft start" feature that allows the beater to gradually work up to full speed, preventing spattering and keeping your kitchen clean.
