CHOICE Expert Rating

The CHOICE Expert rating is made up of performance (60% of overall score) and ease of use (40% of overall score).

Performance score
View more details.
The performance score is the average of the whisking egg white and mixing cake batter scores. We didn't test the dough hooks, as we've found in previous tests that hand mixers don't have the power required to cope with kneading the dough. The performance score accounts for 60% of the overall score.
