Hamilton Beach Electric Hand Mixer with QuickBurst, 6-Speed Corded, 250 W, 3 Attachments and Snap-On Storage, Black

I've owned several hand mixers of the years, and a couple of pricey stand mixers. The stand mixers are fussy to use and hard to clean. I rarely use mixers at all these days, certainly not enough to justify either the price or the kitchen real estate for another stand mixer. (Plus I've found them more prone to failure than even the cheapest hand mixers.) This hand mixer sits on my countertop, with everything neatly folded together in the included stand/case. It's a good size without being too heavy to manage. While my first priority is function, I also like the mint green color of this one. It's got the right amount of power for home use, is easy to handle, and I absolutely love it.

I needed one here @ the house where I’m staying @. I tried creaming the sugar %26 butter together for banana bread w/a wooden spoon. Not an easy task, mind you. So I saw this model, %26 liked it right away. It was a name brand model by Hamilton Beach, that was relatively affordable, %26 it came w/a uniquely designed case to store all the different attachments together w/the whisk. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure it will be great!
