Cheesecake makers focused on mixing control
You want to bring filling ingredients together gradually and may need a separate, faster stage for whipping cream.
Who is this for?
Frequent home bakers who value comfort
You expect to hold the mixer for longer or use it for other bakes, so the handle, controls and attachment changes matter alongside its mixing functions.
Occasional bakers with limited storage
You mainly make occasional fillings and cakes and would rather store a compact hand mixer than a larger bowl-based appliance.
What matters when buying?
Start with the steps in your cheesecake recipe: combining the filling, whipping cream separately if required, then cleaning and putting the mixer away.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Controlled combining | Check the selectable speeds and whether the exact model has a soft start or a suitably gentle low setting. | If I want to bring filling ingredients together gradually, I need control at the start rather than relying on a fast setting. Around 42% of consumers put controlled combining first. |
| Whipping and other recipes | Check the in-box tools, especially whether a wire whisk is included if your method calls for separately whipped cream. | When my recipe includes whipped cream, or I want to use the mixer for other bakes, the available tools shape my choice. Whisk and recipe flexibility comes first for roughly 33% of consumers. |
| Storage and cleaning | Check the storage arrangement and the manufacturer’s washing instructions for the exact model and attachments. | If I bake occasionally and have little cupboard space, I want a mixer that is straightforward to put away and clean. Storage and upkeep are the main priority for about 25% of consumers. |
What should you avoid assuming?
-
That wattage tells you how well a mixer will handle the recipe
Rated power does not describe the speed controls, attachments or how comfortable a hand mixer is to hold. Which? assesses mixing, whisking, ease of use and comfort separately.
Compare the exact models’ controls and supplied tools against your recipe before using wattage as a deciding factor.
-
That every mixer includes a wire whisk or dishwasher-safe tools
Bundles and care instructions differ by model. Russell Hobbs lists no dishwasher-safe parts for its 24672, while KitchenAid lists a wire whisk with the 5KHM9212.
Read the in-box list and washing instructions for the variant you intend to order, particularly if you plan to whip cream separately.
-
That matching model names mean matching retailer specifications
For the Kenwood HMP30.A0SI, Kenwood GB lists 450 W while the Joybuy listing states 300 W. That difference matters if rated power is part of your decision.
Match the complete model code and confirm the specification against Kenwood’s documentation before relying on the retailer figure.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a hand mixer for cheesecake filling by wattage?
No: wattage alone cannot tell you how suitable the controls or tools will be for your recipe. Compare the exact model’s speeds, attachments and handling; Which? assesses mixing, whisking, ease of use and comfort as separate factors.
Do I need a wire whisk to make cheesecake filling?
A wire whisk is particularly relevant if your recipe calls for separately whipped cream; it is not a requirement for every filling. Check the exact bundle rather than assuming the whisk comes with every hand mixer.
Can hand-mixer beaters go in the dishwasher?
Follow the care instructions for the exact mixer and attachments. Russell Hobbs lists no dishwasher-safe parts for the 24672, so dishwasher suitability cannot be assumed from the product category.
What electrical-safety rules apply to a hand mixer sold in Great Britain?
Electrical equipment placed on the Great Britain market must meet the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, according to the Office for Product Safety & Standards. If electrical-safety documentation affects your purchase, check the information for the product and the market where it will be supplied rather than treating a listing description as proof of compliance.
What should I check about warranty and availability before ordering?
Check the exact model’s current retailer listing and its stated warranty terms before ordering. Stock information can change, and terms shown for one hand mixer should not be assumed to apply to another model or seller.
