KitchenAid has a lot of mixers to choose from, so to help narrow it down, it's best to decide whether a hand mixer or a stand mixer would be better for you. A smaller version of a stand mixer, hand mixers are great for baking tasks like beating eggs, mixing icing, or forming batter, while stand mixers are great because they take all the arm ache out of manual mixing, whipping, and kneading. Or, of course, you could get both and be ready for those big bakes. Whichever you choose, be sure to think about things like how many speed settings you'll need and how big you want the bowl to be.
