Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer with Whisk, Dough Hooks and Easy Clean Beaters, Snap-On Storage Case, White

I've had many electric mixers but none compare to the superior quality of this Hamilton Beach 6 speed hand mixer. It has a nice weight to it but not heavy & powerful enough to handle thick batters with a 'quick burst' if needed. Included are 2 easy clean beaters, 2 regular metal beaters, 2 dough hooks & a whipping attachment. Having the storage case is a plus so everything is kept together when you're ready to use. The cord is almost 4' long & the convenience of leaning the mixer on the bowl without falling is a blessing. Can't say enough good things about it's performance & with a 5 year warranty, in my opinion I see it lasting a lifetime! Highly recommend!!!

I LOVE how this includes everything I'm looking for, in attachments - but let's start with the easy clean paddles?!!!! AMEN!! Let's go!!!! And yes, oddly in my search for an electric handmixer, many out there just DO NOT have all the standard attachments! I needed something with whisk, beaters, and dough hook. And yet many only have 1 or even 2 of those 3 basic options!! SO weird. Comparatively to an older HB mixer I had that was black, this one is LOADS better. The motor even feels more evenly balanced, I'm not fighting against it all over the bowl, by its own will to travel, haha!! Also, the older mixer model I had really could not keep up with any dough-hooking movement at all, the motor would start smoking. But THIS one, I can actually use the dough hooks for bread mixing, etc!! I am careful not too push it too much or anything, but it is able to work, and I am just so greatful!! Only so much you can get out of any ehm for mixing doughs! Strangely, many stand mixers don't seem to be a lot better, so I'm glad I just went with this :) Even my whipped cream seems to be a lot more awesome, because of this machine!!! So wild what a difference a model makes. On that note, it's why I had to buy a new mixer - while I was making whipped cream on my older model, the whisk loops were literally snapping off and breaking. I know I've had it for years, but wow!! Wasn't prepared for that. Hopefully that will not be a recurring issue, or it will be available to buy separately. I'm not sure if the cause of that was the metal composition, or the fact that it's held in with plastic. But now, I'm going to handwash the whisk at all times, to avoid this happening again, just in case it can't handle the dishwasher, well. I don't use the storage box to assemble it all together every time, that's too much hassle. I keep the machine beside, so I don't have to deal with the cord, and I just use the storage for all the pieces. I considered many brands and many reviews, and decided to stick with HB, and I'm so glad I did!! I just don't trust the other ones, and this definitely paid off. By the way, I am an at-home baker starting a small business with this, so I hope it shall last a very long time!! It's a great upgrade to what I had, before, and before anything of a bigger scale.

Bought for my wife. She says there is nothing wrong with it. Has lots of power and is intuitive to operate like her old one it replaced. She's on the fence with the dough hooks still. But she said they did work the one time she used them. She really likes the tote that holds all the bits together. She says 5 stars happy life

I'll start with the only thing I don't like. The "slow start" is not slow. This little dude will whip it, and whip it good. I primarily got it for mixing cookie dough since my Kitchen Aid pushes the butter off to the sides, and it's a pain to keep scooping it back to the middle. I also wanted something to have as a back up when the motor inevitably gives up from mixing dough. This little mixer serves its purpose well! The easy clean attachments are great. Easy to scrape and to wash. I did purchase some deep mixing bowls that will prevent any of the minimal splatter from the intense start power. I don't think it will be an issue with the correct bowls. I haven't used it for anything besides creaming butter and mixing cookies, but I have no doubts it's going to perform perfectly for mixing heavy dough or whipping cream. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the "slow start" is still a bit more than I would like. Too bad there's no throttle or something of the like. For recipes that you don't want to overmix, this might not be an appropriate tool.

I was really wanting a solid 6 speed hand mixer, and I liked the idea of this one, with the extra attachments, and the container that fits right under the mixer, so everything is contained. But my problem is that there's no real low speed - it starts off way too fast for my liking, and there's not a lot of delineation between the speeds. It certainly gets the job done, but I wish it had a bit less acceleration off the hop.
