How we ranked these audio mixers

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: small mixer

Pick the tool for the task

Frother wands whip milk and eggs, while an immersion blender handles thicker foods. The YUSWKO, CIRCLE JOY and New England wands froth milk for lattes and cappuccinos and beat eggs. The OVENTE immersion blender blends sauces, dips, purees and smoothies with stainless steel blades. For protein powder and cocoa, the YUSWKO hook stirrer and the CIRCLE JOY powder hook dissolve powders.

Compare speeds, heads and power

Speeds and heads decide how many tasks one wand covers. The YUSWKO and CIRCLE JOY both offer 3 speeds and 3 heads, while the New England wand uses one button with a dual-spring whisk. The OVENTE offers 2 speeds with a pulse sensor and a 300-watt motor. Corded power runs without charging, while USB rechargeable wands skip the cord.

Look at storage and cleaning

Storage and cleaning decide how much counter space a mixer needs. The CIRCLE JOY includes a countertop stand and a portable storage case. The YUSWKO wand is a small cylinder with a flat bottom. The OVENTE shaft detaches for dishwasher cleaning, while the frother heads rinse under water. The New England wand includes a travel cover and a lid. Rinse frother heads after use and keep the main body dry.

Frequently asked questions

Can a milk frother beat eggs?

Yes. The YUSWKO balloon mixer beats eggs and cream, and the CIRCLE JOY egg beater whisks eggs and cake batter. The New England dual-spring whisk focuses on milk foam for lattes. For thicker foods such as purees, choose the OVENTE immersion blender.

Do these mixers need batteries?

The YUSWKO, CIRCLE JOY and New England wands charge over USB with built-in batteries. The OVENTE is a corded electric blender that plugs in for power. No disposable batteries are needed for the rechargeable wands.

Which mixer is best for travel?

The CIRCLE JOY packs into a portable storage case for travel, and the New England wand includes a travel cover. Both charge over USB, so no cord is needed on the road. The OVENTE is corded, so it suits kitchens with an outlet nearby.

How do I clean a milk frother?

Rinse the stainless steel heads under running water or wipe them with a damp cloth. The CIRCLE JOY heads have a smooth, non-stick surface for easy rinsing. Do not rinse the main body directly, since water may enter the main unit.
