Power output: 250 W
Light weight (1.15 kg) 

Hand mixers usually have a power of between 200 and 750 watts. A engine power of between 300 and 500 watts is considered enough, for when you mainly want to make light dough types. 

Usually, the higher the power, the stronger the engine in the hand mixer. A heavier power is more pleasant, because your hand mixer has more power to process the ingredients into dough or batter. Preferably choose a mixer with a capacity of 250 watts or more. However, not only look at the power, because the quality of the engine is also very important.
Where should you pay attention when buying a hand mixer?

Would you like to purchase a hand mixer, but you don't know what to look out for? To help you make the right choice, we have drawn up a list with the most important points of attention. 

Where to pay attention?

• Power: You can see the power of a hand mixer from the number of watts of the device. Mixer with a power up to and including 400 watts are suitable for small quantities and light ingredients. Mixers with a power above 400 watts are suitable for large quantities and heavy ingredients. These machines are also less sensitive to overload. 
• Number of positions: it differs per preparation, what speed is needed. For example, you beat whipped cream at a high speed, but you knead batter again at a lower pace. Hand mixer with different speeds offer you the possibility to beat, knead or mix several types of ingredients. 
• Included accessories: Some hand mixers come with different accessories, such as gardes, dough hooks or mixing bowl. The more accessories the hand mixer has, the more different ingredients you can make. Just take a good look at whether the hand mixer has the accessory that you are looking for!
• Turbo function: a hand mixer with a turbo function, says it all. The hand mixer has a stand with a lot of power, with which you can quickly beat ingredients, knead or mix. 
• Dishwasher resistant: After baking or cooking, the kitchen usually does not win a beauty prize. If you want to wash a little less, see if you can at least put the parts of the hand mixer in the dishwasher.
