5 Best-Rated Small Kitchen Appliances

Small appliances are bought on wattage and regretted on build quality. The jar, blade and switch fail long before the motor does.

Check the jar, not the motor. A 750W mixer with a poorly sealed plastic jar will leak before the motor struggles. Stainless steel jars with replaceable gaskets last years longer.

Match capacity to your actual use. A 500W mini chopper handles onions and garlic well and stalls on anything fibrous. Buying small and using it correctly beats buying big and never taking it out.
