Mixer grinder reviews for Indian kitchens: idli batter, dry masalas, chutneys, noise, jar quality and motor warranty.
Buying guide · Mixer Grinders
The Preethi Zodiac MG 218 is the best mixer grinder we tested for Indian kitchens: quick, smooth idli batter, fine masalas, the coolest motor and five jars including a juicer. The Sujata Dynamix 900W is the main alternative, a plainer three-jar machine that grinds batter almost as fast for less money, though it is louder.

The Preethi Zodiac MG 218 is a well-rounded 750 W, five-jar mixer grinder that handles batter, masalas and juicing smoothly, best for families who want one machine to do everything.

The Prestige Iris 750W is a four-jar mixer grinder with a juicer jar that grinds batter and masalas acceptably at a mid price, though it is louder and slower than the best 750 W machines.

The Bajaj Rex 500W is a low-cost three-jar mixer grinder that suits light daily chutney and masala work for one to three people, but it struggles with big batter batches.

The Atomberg Zenova 550W is a quiet, efficient BLDC mixer grinder whose batter speed, jar locking and price make it a weak buy next to stronger, cheaper 750-900 W machines.
