General Information
Detachable hand mixer Mixer "head" comes apart from the stand to be used as a hand mixer. Typically found only on light-duty stand mixers. Detachable hand mixer	No
Single beater style A single beater, whisk, or dough hook rotates in one direction and moves around the bowl in the other direction. This is in contrast to two-beater style mixers, with beaters similar to those of hand mixers, with a rotating bowl. Single beater style	Yes
Whisk For mixtures that need air incorporated, such as meringues (egg whites), whipped cream, mousse, and some types of cakes and custards. Whisk	Yes
Bowl-lift style Instead of a head that tilts up and down, the head is fixed and the bowl is held on arms that lift up (for mixing) and down (for stirring, or removing the beater and bowl). An "Open bowl" style has beater(s) that are placed on a spindle inside the bowl. There is no "head" to the mixer. Bowl-lift style	Bowl-lift
Takes power attachments Many models offer optional accessories such as food grinders, pasta makers, or vegetable strainers. These attach to a power port on the unit. Takes power attachments	Yes
Two loaf capable Our Kneading score considers performance making one-loaf of bread. We attempted to make two-loaves if appropriate for the mixer, and list those that handled the task with little or no difficulty. Two loaf capable	Yes
