Yes, they are much lighter using a mixer.
I have a Kenwood Chef and can't recommend it enough.

Ooooh thanks - will look that up.

I recently got a mixer and can't say that I've noticed much difference tbh. My arms aren't so tired though . I have switched it on and left it to beat while I've started on a syrup or something. I have to say I love love love it. It's a Kenwood.

I have a kitchenaid and I love it. I use it for everything and i think the cakes are definitely better, but I've had it for 5 years and can't remember the last time inbaked without using it.

I have 50 cupcakes and a birthday cake to make this weekend - I think I'll regret not making a decision on the mixer!

Good luck!

I used to use my magimix but bought a cheap 3 prong hand mixer for £25 and love it!

Wouldnt dream of hand mixing unless its a dense cake.

I have a kitchen aid stand mixer. I used it constantly and it's now 12 years old...never had a problem with it. If you bake lots you will LOVE it.

It's just easier and less tiring using a mixer.

Jusdt buy a cheap electric hand-held. You would definitley get your money's worth as it takes all the effort out of cake-making.

I've got an ancient Kenwood Chef - I got mine from my grandmother, so I think it's probably around 30 years old now. It's fantastic, you can make cakes, bread dough, whisk egg whites, cream etc etc. You can sometimes pick them up at car boot sales or on eBay for 50 quid or so, they seem to go on forever!

I have a Kenwood Chef which I use but I use my Tesco £3 hand mixer more!

I bought a cheap Hals mixer from argos or tesco, cost less than £5 and it was def money well spent!

Next have a pink magi mix copy in just now for £35...but it's very pink

I have a magimix and a Chef. I've gone back to my eke tric hand whisk though, much less faff!
