Do i need a stand mixer and a hand mixer?

I have both, but I also cook a lot. If you don't, a stand mixer probably isn't super necessary, but could come in handy if you plan to host events in the future.

We have both. We really only use our standing mixer for baking (so once a month typically or a lot around Christmas or Thanksgiving). We use our hand mixer a lot more for quicker things.

I bake A LOT so my kitchenaid stand mixer is a staple that stays on top on my kitchen island at all times. However... i don’t cook and neither does my husband.. so we don’t use a hand mixer ever.

Hand mixer would be nice for small things if you dont want to haul out the big guy (stand mixer) lol. I got a stand mixer and I loooove it. Making Hubby's work team fatter with all the cookies I've been baking them hahah

We didn’t register for a stand mixer and I’m so glad we didn’t. But we also don’t bake or cook really complicated things. The majority of my friends that got one don’t use it more than once a year and it takes up a ton of counter space. But if you’re a person who bakes a lot I’m sure you’ll get a lot of use out of it.

I think both would be useful depending on the amount of cooking in terms of quantity you're doing

I have and use both. The stand mixer is great for a lot of things but sometimes you just want the smaller, hand held one bc its easier.

I have both, and I use both. And I love both!!

The stand mixer gets used mostly for baking, but occasionally other things. the hand mixer is great for smaller jobs. I use it most for making mashed potatoes. Great for getting all the lumps out!

A kitchen aid stand mixer is like the Cadillac of kitchen appliances, you need it, and you usually don’t buy it for yourself. I cook a lot and cant wait to register for that mixer 😂 there are so many attachments, you can do a million things with it. If you’re young or not into cooking yet just keep it in its box and use it when you’re ready. Definitely wouldn’t exchange it. A hand mixer is really practical too, I’d keep both for sure

We use the hand mixer. We have the kitchen aid stand mixer but have not taken it out of the box since we got it for Christmas almost 2 years ago.

I bought a kitchen aid for myself several years ago because I love baking. I love it, but, for smaller jobs, I use my hand mixer. It is much easier to get out and clean up. We also live in an apartment with a lot of cabinet space but not a lot of counter space, so lugging out the kitchen aid happens for holiday baking and that's about it.

I have both. I don’t cook a lot but the hand one comes in handy for like mashed potatoes lol and the stand one is nice for baking. I honestly like having both.

My mom has a stand mixer and that’s all we use. I even use it for mashed potatoes. I think we got ride of our hand mixer.

I had both and got rid of the hand mixer because I never used it. Love my KitchenAid! I do use a stick mixer quite a lot too.

I love my kitchen aid stand mixer! Having both seems redundant to me personally (since cleaning a hand mixer is annoying too). I'm excited to register for attachments for my mixer!

I have both and use both. If I’m doing something quick I use the hand mixer but for something more involved I use the stand mixer

I have both and use both. I’ve had a kitchenaid stand mixer for years now, and it’s made probably a million cookies! I like the hand mixer if I’m cheating and making a cake from a box and for making icings. If you’ve been gifted both and have room for them, I would definitely keep them both. It’s kind of like an investment into your kitchen and you’ll always have what you need if you have to cook something.

I love my stand mixer. You can't whip cream or egg whites the same with a hand mixer.

It definitely depends how much you cook and/or bake. I bake a ton and love my stand mixer, but every now and then I have something small like icing or a small batch of cookies where it'd be nice to have something smaller. I think stand mixers do an amazing job at whipping egg white, but whipping a single egg white in a big stand mixer isn't always optimal.

I have both and use both. We love our stand mixer for baking, and for some of its other attachment functions (pasta maker, ice cream maker). But we still use our hand mixer plenty, quick easy small scale things— ex I used it last night for mashed potatoes — anything like that that is easier to mix in its pan. But, we cook often and I love to bake.
