Tom's Guide picks it for serious bakers: in its test it mixed 11 lb of dough, stayed steadier than the KitchenAid and gave excellent gluten development. You pay nearly double for that, so it only makes sense if you bake a lot of bread or pizza.
How we reached this verdict
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
