Comparison of the best planetary mixers for the home - Kitfort, Bosch or Redmond?

We can judge the quality of the compared mixers mainly by customer reviews, information about the frequency of breakdowns. Therefore, despite the lack of evaluation from users according to the criterion "quality of materials", it is still reasonable to put Bosch in the first place. Buyers often write about the build quality, reliability of an inexpensive planetary mixer of a well-known brand in reviews, but there are no complaints about breakdowns. According to the “quality of materials” criterion, the Kitfort delirium model has the highest rating - 4.8 points. Users note high-quality plastic and neat assembly. Only the plastic fastening of the nozzles is alarming, although there are no complaints about their breakage.

The same score of 4.6 points was received by REDMOND and ENDEVER. But Redmond is still more popular, there are more reviews about it, breakdowns are reported in isolated cases. The assessment of the Endever planetary mixer is not so objective due to fewer reviews. Although the plus is a completely metal case. Gorenje has no rating, but nothing bad can be said about him - the technique is quite reliable.But STARWIND was in last place in terms of quality - it looks a little flimsy, sometimes it breaks in the first months of use.

In terms of configuration, all planetary mixers presented in comparison are approximately the same. It includes a standard set of nozzles. Usually this is a whisk for whipping, hooks for kneading dough and a spatula for mixing food. All planetary mixers are equipped with a splash guard with a window for adding products during the whipping process. Sometimes an additional silicone spatula may be present in the kit to collect dough or cream from the walls of the bowl.

The bowl is one of the decisive criteria for choosing a stand mixer. From its volume depends on how many products the user can beat at the same time. And in this regard, the model of the little-known brand Starwind wins with just a huge 7-liter bowl.True, because of this, the size of the planetary mixer itself turned out to be too large. But, if the volume is critical, then the choice is obvious. A model with a capacious bowl is also offered by the Endever brand, but much less compared to STARWIND - 5 liters.

Redmond has a slightly smaller volume - 4.50 liters and Kitfort - 4.20 liters. Bosch has the most compact bowl - 3.90 l, but this is enough for a home if the family is small and the planetary mixer is not used to knead a large amount of dough. All models are made of stainless steel. Only STARWIND can be distinguished by this parameter - its bowl is equipped with a comfortable handle, unlike mixers of other brands.

The clear leader in terms of power is the model of Russian-Chinese production Starwind - 1600W. For a planetary mixer, this is just an excellent indicator. For its regulation, users are offered 6 speeds. According to user reviews, despite the high power, the inexpensive planetary mixer does not work too loudly. A good indicator of 1300 W can boast of a model of the Endever brand.It is positioned as Swedish, but is considered a brand of Russian origin with production in China. However, the Endever planetary blender is powerful, if noisy at maximum sixth speed.

In search of a powerful model, you can stop at the well-known Redmond brand. The declared 1000 watts is enough to cope even with dense dough. It is also the only model with 8 speeds. Burning and Kitfort are approximately at the same level in terms of power - 700 and 600 watts, respectively. They also have the same number of speeds. But, despite equal characteristics, users consider the Gorenje model to be much more powerful. Bosch has only 500 W, 4 speeds, but at the same time beats well, mixes products - a necessary thing for the home. But if you need to knead a stiff dough, it is better to consider other inexpensive planetary mixers.

In terms of convenience, the Gorenje planetary mixer received the highest rating from users. This is due to the presence of vacuum legs that securely hold the device on the table surface, automatic adjustment of the rotation speed of the nozzles depending on the density and type of mixture. So using the mixer is really convenient. Kitfort is not far behind, but due to other features - this is the presence of a timer and a display, which are not found in other models from the comparison. You can simply set the time and not particularly follow the process of whipping or kneading.

Bosch and REDMOND received equal ratings from users, they are equally easy to use, but Bosch stands out with the presence of an auto-parking function for attachments. ENDEVER is good for easy and convenient change of attachments, but the use is overshadowed by increased noise at high speeds. STARWIND, despite its spaciousness and a large bowl with a handle, is still inferior to other models in terms of convenience, it is too bulky and heavy.

With the largest number of requests from users in the Yandex search engine (according to the wordstat.yandex.ru service), the REDMOND stationary planetary blender is confidently becoming the winner in terms of popularity. It's easy to explain - the model is the cheapest in comparison, but it's great for the home, it has enough power, standard equipment, and is quite well made. The Kitfort brand mixer turned out to be quite popular. It compares favorably with convenience and good quality.

In third place in terms of popularity, oddly enough, was the model of the little-known brand STARWIND. She also has a fairly large number of requests. The rest of the comparison participants scored from 105 to 166 requests per month, which is much less compared to the top three.

The Kitfort and Bosch brand mixers received the same score from users, but Kitfort wins with the number of reviews - the largest among all the compared models. Gorenje is not the most popular planetary mixer, there are few reviews about it. But on the other hand, users who have tested it in action put the maximum rating - 5 points. This is mainly due to the convenience of the model and its reliability.REDMOND and STARWIND have the same number of ratings, Starving has an even higher rating from users, but here you need to take into account the nature of the reviews. Redmond cannot be called a model of reliability, but buyers report breakdowns of the STARWIND mixer much more often and often complain about the external fragility of the structure.

According to the total assessment for all comparison criteria, the Kitfort brand mixer becomes the leader. This is a popular, optimal model that users really like. REDMOND is about the same level with it and even has some advantages in the form of more power and a bowl. But nevertheless, according to the total score, her score is slightly lower than that of Kitfort. Gorenje and Bosch stand out for their quality, in this respect they are approximately on the same level and their final score differs slightly. ENDEVER and STARWIND were expectedly not the best in terms of quality. But they can be considered if a large bowl volume and high power are required.
