Appearance
This stand mixer is sleek and well-finished, with a shiny mixing bowl and attachments. While the edges are round, the exterior is polished with a metal stripe on its head.
At the base of the next stand mixer, you’ll find the speed-controlling metallic knob surrounded by the LED light that turns up when you turn the stand mixer on. There’s a lever above the metallic knob that helps to tilt the head of the stand mixer while changing attachments.
Capacity
The 6-quart mixing capacity ensures you get good quality bulk mix in one sitting. So if you have a big family or own a small baking business, this stand mixer is the top choice.
To test its capacity, we made dough for three large pizzas. It gave us the lightest, well-kneaded pizza dough within minutes.
Since it makes flowy batters or decorations, you can whip 1.5-liter heavy cream, egg whites, ganache, and more. So whether it’s batters or doughs, its 6 quarts capacity ensures you can feed your loved ones or arrange a weekend party at your home.
Durability
The exterior of the Vivohome stand mixer is heavy ABS plastic, and the aluminum and stainless steel internals add to its hefty 11 pounds weight. This heaviness adds to its sturdiness and durability.
We’ve used this stand mixer rigorously. It holds to use and abuse and demands a swipe of lean cloth to look new. The same goes for its high-quality stainless steel bowl, which is not only food-safe but scratch resistant.
Its durability is enhanced by its high-grade suction cups. These cups are attached to the base of the stand mixer. They will adhere to your countertop and hold your mixer tight against a heavy load.
Performance
It offers multiple speed levels, a powerful motor, and heat-dissipating chambers. Firstly this stand mixer comes with six-speed levels that allow you to control the mixing and kneading precisely.
Besides its six-speed levels, you’ll find a pulse mode for quick blitzing and incorporation of ingredients. We used the pulse mode for making pie crust and shredding chicken. The transition between the speed levels is easy and allows fine kneading and mixing.
This high-speed mixing is powered by its superstrong 660-watt metal motor. It enables the stand mixer to mix the toughest doughs and bulk batters without for long. The engine keeps the mixing action smooth and prevents excessive heating.
Vivohome stand mixer has two ventilation ports at its back that allow quick exit of excessive heat when used. We love this feature as it lets you do bulk mixing without overheating for a longer time, unlike the Vospeed stand mixer, which heats up.
To check its mixing performance, we made pizza dough and cake batter. The mixing for the dough was smooth. We poured all the ingredients at once and it gave us a soft, non-lumpy dough in five minutes.
It scraped the sides and base of the mixture itself, so we didn’t have to. In addition, it gave us a light, airy and smooth batter on high-speed mixing.
Aside from mixing, we noticed that it produced little to no sound. So, you can use it while watching your favorite shows or talking to your loved ones.
Accessories & Their Performance
It has a beater, dough hook, whisk, and splash guard.
- Firstly coming to its dough hook, which is made of Teflon-coated stainless steel. It is best used for kneading hard and soft dough for bread, pizza, and pasta. It gives optimal performance on 1-3 speed levels.
- Second, the Teflon-coated flat beater makes batter for sugar cookies, cakes, muffins, banana bread, ganache, and cookies. We also used it to shred chicken and mix salads on 2-4 speed levels.
- Third comes the stainless steel whisk, which gives light and airy batter. It’s best for making ganache, whipping egg whites, meringue, hollandaise sauce, and other salad dressings.
- The last one is the transparent splash guard, which prevents the splash of ingredients. It also has a cross hatchet that allows you to incorporate ingredients without stopping the mixing.
The additional accessory you’ll get is the egg white separator for effective and quick separating of egg whites and yolks.
Price
Having a high-performing, sturdy, durable, and practical mixer under budget is rare and hard to find. But the good news is that the Vivohome stand mixer comes with all these qualities while being super affordable. If you’re tight on budget, this stand mixer is an excellent choice.
