Sweet!
I was't sure whether I wanted a hand mixer or a stand mixer, so I decided to try this one. I love it!
The bowl and the beaters both move and can both be set to different speeds. It comes with beaters, dough hooks, a stainless steel bowl with lid, a plastic bowl (without lid) and a spatula (more than I thought I was getting). The beaters are off to the side of the bowl, which makes adding ingredients really easy. It is strong enough to handle the very stiff cookie dough I made in stand mode. It fits very comfortably in my hand when I use it manually.
It converts from stand to hand in about 10 seconds, which is great when you decide you need to keep a closer eye on the whipped cream to get it just right. Talking about whipped cream, I loved being able to chill the steel bowl, whip the cream in the cold bowl and put the bowl back in the fridge after putting the lid on it.
This thing was a joy to work with during the Holiday baking season!
Two...
Powerful but doesn't mix small quantities well.
I was looking to substitute a heavy stand mixer by something lighter which I can easily remove from the counter after finishing with it.
It is sturdily built, insert and removal of beaters, changing from stand to hand mode are all very easy.
However, it doesn't mix well in the stand mode. The beaters are small and don't reach the bottom of the bowl.
Mixing is not even and batter is separated into the side of the bowl, while the center is left untouched. To achieve a thorough mixing I have to continuously help it a long with a spatula, or change to the hand held mode.
Loved it now very disapointed
Very good looking. LOVED it at first, but am now on my 4th set of beaters. Either they bent or just busted while mixing stiff dough. No its not me, I had a hand mixer for 25 years and NEVER had one problem!!! I hate to get a different one because I LOVE the looks of this one. But it is time to give up, so sad in Oregon.
