Hamilton Beach 6-Speed Electric Hand Mixer with SoftScrape Beaters, 5 Attachments & Case, Mixer for Kitchen, Black

First,POWER! This Hamilton Beach 6- Speed Hand Mixer is Beyond Impressive! I have had great hand mixers, a stand mixer, but this one really blew me away. I make a lot of chocolate chip cookies, so I judge my mixers on this. The mixing was easy- I mostly used Power 2, even all flour in. It was super easy but final dough got a Power 3 for ease to me, lessen time, %26 benefit of the total dough mixing. Now, quite a downside but not enough to tip the scales from its power - the beaters collect dough especially the bottoms worse than anyother product I've used in part because even giving it the high speed to release most dough didn't work. I had to use butter knife %26 spoon. Or waste it anyway due to splatter, even on lower high speeds. This is the second hand Ive had that comes with an attachable storage component. It is great for its attachments %26 a little extra room for additional items. I find attaching the mixer itself is fine but really difficult to remove, especially since I have arthritis in my hand. but i do appreciate it for keeping items in an organized manner. The attachments also include coated beaters to protect your bowls, and good for mixing certain things better. A whisk is also included, I haven't needed it yet. So if you want a hand mixer that really works, does exactly what you expect and exceeds those, is easy to use and budget friendly, this Hamilton Beach mixer is IT! BTW, I'm pretty sure this is the first Hamilton Beach product I have ever used or owned. It's not a brand that immediately comes to my mind when I think about kitchen appliances. This little hand mixer will be added in my top list to consider next time my kitchen needs something.

I have a really difficult time inserting the hand mixer into the storage container base. i imagine, with use and time, it will get adjust itself and become easier. I had it all over the kitchen on these first attempts. As far as the mixer, it works very well. We used it to make Cheese Cake, mashed potatoes and Cookies, using the whisk and beater attachments. It iseems to have a powerful motor and is easily adjustable. The cord is a bit stiff and hard to keep in the base until it's snapped into place. I am replacing my grandmother's electric hand mixer, which is still going strong. Gram has been gone 15 years, the mixer is still here. I did promise my husband I would put it out of circulation if he got me a new mixer.
