Two beaters, one hand, and where you put it down · review
The 3Mix 9000: 750 W, metal internals, and the only hand mixer here with a stepless speed control rather than fixed steps — plus a turbo mode and a pulse function. Stainless whisks and dough hooks, all dishwasher-safe, an ergonomic soft-touch grip and an extra-long cable.
The net of it The one that solves the problem this family actually has. Every other mixer here gives you five or six fixed steps, and the useful part of that range is the bottom of it — a mixer that starts fast is a mixer that redecorates the kitchen. Krups publishes a stepless control, which means the first second can be as slow as you want. Add 750 W with metal internals, a pulse function and a genuinely long cable, and the price step buys something specific rather than a badge.
The specification that separates this mixer from the other three, and the one no listing puts in its headline. Five fixed speeds sound generous until you use the lowest one and find it is still too fast for flour. A stepless regulator means the bottom of the range is wherever you stop turning it.
Krups also publishes a turbo mode and a pulse function on top of the dial. Three separate ways to control one motor is unusual on a hand mixer at any price.
Three times the Emerio’s power, and Krups states the internals are metal and that the machine handles heavy doughs and large quantities. Those are the two claims — power and materials — that decide whether a hand mixer survives a stiff biscuit dough or slows to a stop in it.
A meringue is not a ten-second job, and this is a tool held at arm’s length. Krups publishes an ergonomic soft-touch grip and an extra long cable, though no length in centimeters. The cable is the sort of detail nobody compares before buying and everybody notices afterwards.
Stainless steel whisks and dough hooks, all dishwasher-safe. Stainless rather than coated, again, is what makes a dough hook a ten-year part.

A stepped mixer jumps between fixed intensities; a stepless one is a dial that moves continuously. It matters most at the bottom of the range, where the difference between “slow” and “slightly slower” decides whether flour leaves the bowl. Krups is the only maker in this family to publish a stepless control.
Krups lists them separately: the stepless dial and the turbo mode set a sustained intensity, and pulse gives short bursts. Together they are three distinct ways of controlling the same motor.

400 W · 5 speeds + turbo
A 400 W motor, five speeds and a turbo step, with stainless steel whisks and dough hooks that Clatronic states are all dishwasher-safe. An eject button releases the attachments. The middle of this family on power, and the widest price spread across Europe of any product on this site.
Best for: Everyday baking on a small budget, with attachments that go in the dishwasher.
250 W · 6 speeds + turbo · extra-long attachments
The lightest and least powerful hand mixer here at 250 W, and the one with the most speed steps: six plus a turbo button. Emerio publishes extra-long stainless steel whisks and dough hooks stated to reach the bottom of deep bowls, an eject button, and dishwasher-safe attachments.
Best for: Cream, egg whites, cake batter — and a deep bowl the beaters can actually reach.
450 W · 5 speeds + turbo · cone beaters
The 5000 Series hand mixer: 450 W, five speeds and a turbo mode, supplied with cone-shaped beaters and dough hooks. Philips states the beaters carry a pattern designed to make fitting and removing them effortless, and that the motor handles the toughest dough.
Best for: A mixer that will be used often enough that fitting the beaters quickly matters.
