The self-declared ‘kitchen robot’, used by chefs worldwide, the Bamix is like no other mixer in the market but certainly deserves its place on our list. It looks like your traditional hand blender – a long thin handle with a long metal multi-purpose blade. And yes, the Bamix does blend. But it also mixes, whips, chops and grinds.
I was excited to try this one out and it did not disappoint. It of course felt different from the rest, but it worked just as efficiently at mixing as the SMEG or the Dualit. The blade works well with pancake or cake mixture, as well as for chopping vegetables, pureeing, or blending soups or smoothies. However, for the best whisking and beating, the Bamix has two separate attachments which you can add on. It also comes with a meat mincer.
The machine is incredibly powerful but only has two speed options. The first isn’t quite slow enough for a ‘slow and long’ mixing technique. The Bamix feels both powerful and durable – it seems like an appliance I could pass down through generations. In fact, Bamix are so confident in their durability, they offer a lifetime warranty for the motor.
One thing I didn’t like about the Bamix is that you can’t stand it up on its own while baking, like all of the other hand mixers, so there’s a greater risk of ingredient spillage. However, it does come with a great stand which can be screwed to the wall of the kitchen or propped up on the side.
The main Bamix device was easy to clean, simply running it under warm water. The attachments are quite small so a little awkward to clean. While you can put them in the dishwasher, I was a bit worried I’d lose them.
