    Yes, handheld mixers are worth it for several reasons:

    1. Convenience: Handheld mixers are small and lightweight, making them easy to use and store. They allow you to mix ingredients directly in the bowl, reducing the need for extra dishes.

    2. Speed: Handheld mixers are more powerful than whisking by hand, allowing you to blend ingredients more quickly and efficiently. They are also ideal for heavy creams or doughs that might be too strenuous to mix by hand.

    3. Versatility: Handheld mixers come with various attachments such as dough hooks, whisks, and beaters, making them suitable for a wide range of tasks, including mixing batter, whipping cream, and kneading dough.
