Stand mixers
A machine people expect to keep for twenty years, so the question is not which one mixes best. They all mix. What separates them is how long the maker will cover it, how many years they will sell you parts, and whether the extra money buys capability or a light in the bowl. Grouped by the shape of the machine, because that decides what fits under your cupboards and how much dough it will take.
