Beautiful 3.5 Qt Stand Mixer with Flat Beater, Dough Hook, Balloon Whisk, Buttercream by Drew Barrymore

I have been keeping an eye on the stand mixer for months, and it finally went on sale. It’s such a beautiful design and it’s the perfect size for me and one person in our household. The quality of the mixer is great and it’s just as strong as a larger sized mixer. I love that you can secure it to your countertop or island space and I have made homemade bread using this mixer several times now. I’ve been collecting the Beautiful by Drew appliances and this one does not disappoint. I would highly recommend.

I bought this 3.5 quart mixer to replace my 30 year old KitchenAid only because the KitchenAid is way too heavy for me to move around in my small kitchen. (about 6 lbs vs over 20 lbs). The suction cups keep it in place on the counter with no problem but make sure your countertop is dry. If it is wet from wiping it, the mixer will have a tendency to slide. The 3.5 quart size is ample room to whip up angel food cake batter. The bowl does not have a handle, but it does have a lip around the base of the bowl to anchor it to the mix and because the bowl is smaller than the larger size it is easy to hold the bowl by the base when scraping out the batter. I have not tested it for bread dough but for regular mixing this smaller size mixer seems ideal.
