Mixers

This is my first new stand mixer. The one I had before was from the '70's I bought at a yard sale. It worked but it was noisy, heavy and difficult to store. I only had one set of beaters for it so there was only so much I could do. My new Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer is so quiet and powerful, I couldn't believe how well it works. It's light weight and easy to store plus I love the sleek design. Suddenly I feel like a "grown-up" cook! ;D I also love the versatility of using it as a stand or hand mixer. I was a bit disappointed the stand mixer doesn't have a paddle attachment but after a few uses, I found I don't need it. I can use my beaters for 90% of what I make and then switch to the dough hooks for the bread. This is an affordable stand mixer perfect for the average home cook. I love my new Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer and look forward to using it for years to come."..."  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

I was looking at purchasing a KitchenA** Pro Series or Cuisin*** Stand Mixer, [$]( I burnt/broke my HSN Wolfgang P*** Stand Mixer)My Blender was 10 years old and worn out and gunky from lots of Margaritas. I really did not understand how the mixerbowl worked but I decided to give the Mix Blend a try. I am able to make cookie dough which is what I most wanted it for. The Blender portion is incredible-1000 watts of power makes Commercial Grade Smoothies at home-my kids who wont eat fruit request banana-strawberry smoothies everyday now. I have seen this brand in use at a National Chain ([...]) Makes a killer frozen Margarita. Clean up is a breeze and digital read out is easy to follow and makes it nearly impossible to make a mistake. It makes a lot of bread dough, Three loaves my first batch, but I really only need a stand mixer to make cake batter and mix cookie dough which I have gotten to lazy to mix by hand. I replaced two broken worn out appliances, saving [$] cash and even more valuable counter space! What a great deal. The packaging appeared to have been opened and resealed-White foam which surrounded unit was broken and taped up. The DVD which was included was for a older version of the unit but I got the idea. Visiting the manufactures web site was helpful."..."  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
