We compared two hand mixers from the same maker: the Lord Eagle 400W Hand Mixer and the Lord Eagle 9-Speed Digital Hand Mixer.
What we looked at
Speed control, motor noise, and price.
The verdict
If you want the lower price on a straightforward 5-speed, 400W mixer, the Lord Eagle 400W is the value pick, at £22.33. If you would rather pay £7.66 more for a 9-speed digital display, a quieter 500W DC motor rated at 50dB, and a waterproof storage bag, the Lord Eagle Digital is the alternative, at £29.99.
A £22.33 hand mixer with 5 speeds and a copper motor.
A £29.99 hand mixer with 9 digital speed settings at 50dB.
