What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Small Mixer "aced nearly every test, with the exception of sticky, heavy, high-hydration pizza dough," and it "could not fit double batches of dough." Get it only if counter space is tight: ATK points out that the KitchenAid Classic "holds more and costs less." ATK tested it in Ice; this listing is the same model in White.
