Here is what one customer had to say: "Today's stand mixers seem to all come with a wattage rating ranging anywhere from 250 watts all the way up to 1000 watts. This wattage rating means nothing as far as performance is concerned. It is just an indication of how much power is going into the unit, not how much horsepower is being produced. So a stand mixer purchase should be based on performance not wattage." Click here to read more.
