Electrical kitchen appliances that use a gear-driven mechanism to maneuver agitators in a bowl containing the food to be prepared. There are two types of commercial mixers: planetary mixers and spiral mixers. A planetary mixer has an agitator that turns on an offset shaft that rotates around the mixing bowl, which remains stationary. Planetary mixers can have interchangeable agitators, such as a mixing paddle, dough hook, and whisk. A spiral mixer has a spiral, or corkscrew, shaped agitator. The bowl of the spiral mixer rotates as the spiral hook spins in a stationary position. Mixers come in both tabletop and floor models.
