Review on Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer, 4 Quarts: Dough Hook, Flat Beater Attachments, Splash Guard, 7 Speeds with Whisk - Black with Top Handle: A Comprehensive Review and Buying Guide by Jason Williamson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better buy than Kitchenaid and less than half the price!

I am a keen baker and my kitchen hand died an agonizing death. Not happy with it but needed a blender for the holidays. I can easily knock out 12 packs of biscuits and two servings of bread in a day. I unpacked the thing and was impressed with the overall impression. It seems well covered, so the chances of getting flour while assembling it are slim. On the other hand, the mixer will be much more difficult to maintain. The case feels more like plastic than metal, but it makes assembly easier. There is a quick dial on the top of the blender which is very nice. There are suction cups on the underside that make it vibrate almost as much as a kitchen helper. The head lift is a mechanical button, not a fan, especially with chocolate chips as it can get a bit tight. I can only make one batch of cookies at a time, which sucks but works. It came with a protective case which was great and saved me hours of cleaning today. Overall I like this machine more than my kitchen helper and I hope it gets more market support.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Unsafe
