Comment:
This hand mixer is a singificant improvement over the last two I've purchased, which were both awful. It is very powerful and I like the wire-style beaters. Whipping up a perfect merengue takes just seconds. It has good torque for heavy mixtures as well.<br /><br />Some cons: It's a little heavy, kinda noisy, and doesn't sit up well by itself when you set it on the counter (it will, you just have to pay attention). My biggest complaint is that the lowest speed on the blender is still not low enough to prevent ingredients from flying out of the bowl when you start mixing or when you need a lower speed for more delicate ingredients. This is where most hand mixers come up short, and though this one is better than the others I've had, it still needs work.<br /><br />I would also prefer a retractable cord, but honestly I've never had a kitchen appliance with a retractable cord that really worked all that well, so...
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
