I guess a good way to view it is, a stand mixer, a hand mixer and a whisk. All have purposes… but you have to be using the right tool for the right workload to get the best performance.
It isn’t better to scramble 6 eggs with a stand mixer before you put them in the pan, just use a fork. Doesn’t mean the stand mixer won’t blow the fork away when making ground beef.
It depends on what are you are trying to compare
