With nine powerful speeds, the Breville consistently mixes thick doughs as well as lighter batters, and it has more attachments and features than the competition.

America's Test Kitchen

This mixer performed exceptionally well. It was speedy, creaming butter and sugar and whipping meringue faster than any other model, and it muscled through dense cookie dough with ease. Its beater heads are the widest in the lineup, making for efficient mixing and zero clogging, and they’re silicone tipped, so they didn’t clang around in the bowl. This mixer is thoughtfully designed with several features that make mixing more efficient and convenient, including a timer, a light that shines into the mixing bowl, a pause button, a well-positioned display screen, and a plastic storage case that locks onto its base.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: A champ at mixing cookie dough, the Breville Handy Mix Scraper BHM800SILUSC earns an Excellent rating in that test. It also receives top marks for convenience, meaning its controls are easy to use. Although it’s the most expensive model in CR’s hand mixer ratings, it comes with a lot of bells and whistles, including dough hooks, easy-to-clean wire beaters, a digital display, a timer, and a storage case.
