Viking
The Viking corporation has always made its goal to provide industrial, professional-quality appliances that are suitable for home use. They more than succeed with their line of mixers.
Viking Professional
Stand mixer reviews invariably mention Viking as among the best in the industry. This Viking mixer is available in 5 and 7 quart sizes. The five quart model features a powerful 800 watt motor, while the 7 quart bumps that up to 1000. Either model can accommodate everything from the stiffest dough to the most delicate meringue with ease, making difficult recipes seem simple. You’ll feel like a professional chef or baker; you are using professional quality equipment after all! Let’s take a look at some of the other features you will find.
The metal housed mixer has a painted finish and includes a stainless steel mixing bowl with handle. You will also get a stainless steel dough hook, V (flat) beater, wire whisk, and plastic spatula. With these, there are an infinite number of sauces, creams, soups, and more that you can make. 12 speeds makes it easy to control your recipes and achieve exactly the results you want every time.
Advanced features include a special stirring speed to prevent flour from pouffing or liquid from splashing when you start the mixer, locking pop-up head, and range of great attachments. Built Viking tough, this mixer will stand you in good stead for years to come.
5 Speed Hand Mixer
Viking stand mixers are tremendously effective and durable. They are well worth their high-end price tags, but if you don’t have room in your budget for one of the bigger models, consider the manual 5 Speed Hand Mixer. We tend to see the word “manual” and automatically think “old-fashioned” or “obsolete. Luckily, this mixer is anything but.
The hand mixer features a durable, heavy duty 250 watt motor that can help you power through dough, batter, icings, butter , and more with ease. It features a comfortable ergonomic handle design and a five foot power cord so you are not stuck in place at the counter. You can easily move the mixer, and this is a big advantage over heavier models. After you complete a project, you simply put the 2 sets of stainless steel beaters in the dishwasher or wash them, wind up the cord, and put it away. You save a lot of counter space, which is often an important consideration.
This Viking mixer doesn’t have a lot of fancy features, but it does an incredible job for you. In the end, the taste is what matters, and with the hand mixer, you can be assured of success.
Do your homework. Read your stand mixer reviews and product specs. You’ll see that Viking comes out head and shoulders above the rest.
