Power</p><p>The most important thing about the stand food mixer is the motor, but the merchant will not introduce the motor, and consumers can't understand it, so we look at the power when purchasing. There are currently two types of cooker motors: AC motors and DC motors. AC motors are generally large in power and noisy during work. The power is generally between 800w and 1500w. It is recommended to choose a model above 1000w. If the power is small, the power will be insufficient, but it should not be too large, or the noise will make you crazy . The power of the DC motor is generally small, the noise is low when working, and it is not easy to generate heat. The power is generally between 300w-600w. It is recommended to choose a high-power model. Although the DC motor is good, the cost is high. The price of the better DC motor stand food mixer is more than 2,000 yuan, so it is good to buy as needed.</p><p><br></p><p>2. Capacity</p><p>It should be clear that the capacity should not be too small. Choose a larger model based on what you think is enough, and leave some surplus for yourself. The capacity of the household stand food mixer is between 3L and 7L, and the recommended 4L model is recommended for 1-2 people. If there are many family members, or if it is used for steaming steamed buns, dumplings and noodles, it is recommended to use models above 6L.</p><p><br></p><p>3. Material</p><p>The stand food mixer material pays attention to the body material and the material of the stirring rod. The body material is divided into metal and plastic. The metal body is cast aluminum body and aluminum alloy body, and the plastic body is ABS plastic. The plastic body of the stand food mixer has light weight and is not stable during work, but it is cheap and can be selected if the budget is not high. The metal body has excellent texture, good durability, heavy body, and relatively good stability during work. The corresponding price is also high. It is recommended to choose metal if the budget is sufficient. Stirring rods are divided into plastics and metals. Metal has good durability and plastics are easily damaged. There is no problem with the view that metal is preferred and plastic is second. The metal stirring rod is mostly made of cast aluminum with a coating. After using it for a long time, pay attention to whether the coating falls off. If it falls off, replace it as soon as possible.</p><p><br></p><p>4. Gear</p><p>At present, the stand food mixer is between 6 and 10 gears. Generally speaking, only 2 or 3 gears are needed for kneading. The kneading does not depend on the speed, and the low-speed torque is used. In addition, the 5 gears are basically used for stirring and mixing. It can also be satisfied, baking lovers do not need to pursue high-end purchases. If you want to make pastry or use extended functions such as sliced ​​vegetables, you need a high speed. The more gears, the better. In addition to the number of gears, we should also pay attention to the way of gear adjustment. At present, the gear adjustment has a knob type and a gear handle type. The knob type operation is more convenient.</p><p><br></p><p>5. Motor working time</p><p>Most electrical appliances now have an overheating protection function, so it may work for 10 minutes and need to rest for 10 minutes. Generally speaking, it takes about 30 minutes for the glove film to be drawn out, so it is better to buy one that can work continuously for more than 30 minutes.</p><p><br></p><p>6. Security settings</p><p>The stand food mixer is a machine, which can be said to be a machine in household appliances that is easier to cause harm to people. The high-speed rotating stirring head is easy to be injured if touched by hand, so the machine must have: the pot cover, the machine head does not rotate, and the pot does not rotate. Triple insurance is the best.</p><p><br></p><p>7. Whether the mixing hook can revolve and rotate at the same time</p><p>The low-end cooking machine stirring hook only rotates without revolution, which will greatly reduce the work efficiency, and even some positions cannot be stirred.</p><p><br></p><p>8. Heat dissipation</p><p>It is recommended to buy a stand food mixer with a reserved cooling vent and a cooling fan in the body.</p><p><br></p><p>9. Pay attention to the problem of black powder and black oil</p><p>Because of the working principle of most stand food mixers, friction occurs on the rotating shaft more or less, resulting in the production of black oil (lubricating oil) and black powder. These things should never fall into the dough. The protective cover avoids the situation of being helpless after long use. In addition, considering the service life of the machine, try to choose a machine that uses metal gears. The new machine may also give the dough a metallic taste when it is used for the first time. If you want to avoid it, it is best to choose a machine with safe materials and clean it before use.</p><p><br></p><p>10. Are there multiple interfaces and can be installed</p><p>Only the stand food mixer with multiple accessories can fully exploit the functions of the stand food mixer. Such as minced meat, flour, shredded, sliced, pressed noodles, juiced, pressed noodles, etc. Most noodles, such as steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, buns, noodles, bread and noodles, and beaten eggs to make cakes, ordinary stand food mixers are enough to deal with, but if it is baked toast, the requirements will be stricter. To reach the fully expanded state, the relative time will be spent more. Pay more attention to the specific functions of the stand food mixer when purchasing.</p><p><br></p>
