Dash 3.5 Qt Tilt Head Stand Mixer vs Bella Hand & Stand Mixer

The Dash 3.5 Qt Tilt Head Stand Mixer is the stronger pick for anyone who bakes regularly. It has a 350-watt motor, 10 speeds, a tilt head, a splash guard and a hub that takes over 10 optional attachments. The Bella is a 200-watt hand-and-stand hybrid with 6 speeds, two bowls and a 2-year limited warranty. It is lighter and stores in its own bowls, but it is weaker for stiff dough and has no attachment hub. Owners of the Dash call it compact and good for occasional baking, and some find it loud. The Bella suits small kitchens and light mixing more than heavy kneading.

• Choose the Dash 3.5 Qt Tilt Head Stand Mixer if you want a dedicated stand mixer with more power, a tilt head, a splash guard and room to add attachments.
• Choose the Bella Hand & Stand Mixer if you want one compact tool that works as both a hand mixer and a stand mixer and stores in its own bowls.
