Mixers

Prior to purchasing a mixer I spoke with people from local businesses to find out which mixer that had chosen, and for the most part two brands were in the majority. They were Hobart and Viking. Hobart was well out of my price range so my choice was evident. After using the Viking mixer it is obviously the perfect choice. The mixer is sleek looking, but muscular at work. It has cut mixing time because of the efficient design. Price comaprison for other 5 quart brand mixers is similar but the motor rating on the Viking is much higher which hopefully will make the Viking last much longer. I am thoroughly satisfied with the Viking 5 quart mixer."..."  Read more

I LOVE my new hand mixer! I have a stand mixer that belonged to my grandmother, and I don't often want to drag it out of the cupboard because it's so heavy - and it tends to smell like burning rubber if I'm using it for a long time. The hand mixer is so easy to use: it mixed my cake batter quickly and easily, is lightweight enough so that I can hold it while mixing, stands upright nicely in between mixing phases (alternating adding ingredients and such), and is a snap to clean. Tip: Turn it on before sticking it into whatever you're mixing. Even on the "1" setting, the beaters spin really quickly for about the first 2-3 seconds it's on. As long as I remember to turn it on, wait a couple of seconds and THEN stick it in my batter, everything is A-ok!"..."  Read more

After years (decades) of wanting a stand mixer, I got this one and although I love it, there is very little "space" in between the beater and the top of the machine and the bowl causing me to have to shut the mixer off in order to add things like sugar or flour without feeling as if it will spill since all the parts feel so close, if that makes sense. I don't know if this is because it's a bowl lift and the tilt head has more "space" but that's my only negative and maybe all stand mixers are made this way and it's just a new-to-me thing. Overall, it's a great machine!"..."  Read more

well, tough stuff is what this little power house of a mixer will do! My old mixer would have died during cookie dough mix, but not this mixer. I have used all the attatchments and my gravy was lumpless! eggs were whisked great! I have used this mixer VERY much this past month. It has 4 ridges underneath for different size bowl rests. It is a little loud, but not enough to lessen rating. It's lo speed is lo and I am totally satisfied with this purchase! WAYFAIR earns its' name with wayyyy fair prices, quick ship."..."  Read more
