Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I don't need a full sized stand mixer, and after 30+ years, my old Hamilton Beach 2-speed finally broke--well the housing broke; I'm sure the motor would have gone on and on. So I checked mixer reviews all over the internet and it was between Kitchenaid and Cuisinart. Since, according to the reviews, both are great products, I went for the one on Amazon with the best price. I've used it a couple of times now and it's just great. If you don't need a totally high tech mixer and want something to stir up brownie batter, mash potatoes, and whip cream, look no further.
The mixer does what I need it to do. Power is ok, and it functions pretty much like all hand mixers. My one complaint is that there is no convenient way to store the blades. My last handheld allowed for the attachments to clip to the sides of the unit. Other mixers I reviewed for this purchase had some sort of storage solutions. Having no other options I just store the unit with the blades attached. Oh well.
very good quality, some negatives are: a little heavy, lowest speed is still pretty high, so food splatters if not careful, not sure I like swivel cord, seems to always end up in my way.
Have not used this mixer yet, but it is a beauty. It has a good heavy feel to it and a nice retro look. I bought this for my daughter and will let you know how it works soon!
