Criterias of choice
Power
The speed of mixing the ingredients depends on the power level. The more powerful the mixer, the more turns it makes per minute, and the faster it mixes the necessary products. A good figure is in the range of 350 - 500 watts.
Nozzles and their functionality

If the speed indicator is extremely important for you, then your choice is a planetary mixer with a bowl.. Or perhaps you want to often prepare vegetable and fruit purees, which are so useful for children. Then you will need the appropriate nozzles.
Materials
Of course, the mixer with a metal base (especially stainless steel) will be much stronger and more durable than plastic. When choosing, pay attention to the integrity of the coating, inspect it for cracks.
You also need to check the device for malfunction. To do this, you need to ask to turn it on and see how it works: whether the nozzles are hooked onto the bowl, the buttons are pressed well and the speeds and modes of operation vary, or the bowl turns. The device must be checked at idle before buying it.
Models
It is difficult to say which mixer is definitely the best. Each has its own unique positive and negative sides.
