Hamilton Beach Classic Black Hand & Stand Mixer

This mixer is much lighter than I anticipated but works like the old-fashioned 2-beater mixers. The bowl spins so I can scrape down the sides without stopping the mixing process. The only down-side I have found is that the dough hooks and bowl can only accomodate 1 loaf of bread.

This stand mixer is strong %26 durable. Its Great for baking cakes, bread or any recipe that is of a thick consistency. The mixer itself is strong %26 powerful. The beaters/attachments insert %26 remove easily. The stand is durable to handle mixing options. The bowl is sturdy. The base moves two different setting for optimal mixing. Cleanup is easy. The hand mixer detaches easily, for those recipes less dense, (i.e....mashed potatoes.

My wife loves this mixer! I bought her a more expensive model which she had me return for this one. It detaches and becomes a hand mixer in addition to being a stand mixer. It works by rotating the bowl instead of having a sophisticated mixing movement. It does what it is supposed to, looks great, and was a fraction of the cost of higher end mixers. We are not an industry and do light baking, so it is a perfect product for us. My wife loves it!

I am delighted to find this mixer. When my old one burned out, I was amazed to find the only new ones available were heavy and expensive. I tried Kitchen Aid and it is so heavy to use that it sits on my counter as an ornament. The stores don't carry this kind of mixer any more. You had a cheaper one for black friday and there is another out there now, but I suppose that is only for the holidays. I wish mixers came with two bowl sizes as the old ones did.

So far the product is performing well. I don't have much experience with stationary mixers, but this one does what I want it to do well. It has enough power but maybe strains a little. I suspect from the reviews that I read before purchase that others were expecting a lot more than they were paying for. I have no problem using it - the blades and portable attachments work well once you get used to it. I'm very satisfied so far. Durability can only be established over time. I suspect that given the frequency that I will be using it - it will work well as long as I don't force the motor beyond it's capacity. You know when a motor is straining.

Nice mixer, will get the job done, stand and handle parts being made of plastic doubt that it would stand up to A LOT of use. But good enough for me and my occasional cooking chores. Doubt that you could beat the price. Bowl is a VERY thin light weight stainless, so doubt that it will take a lot of beating about, or it will dent. But again, gets the job done for me. I think if given proper care, it should last many yrs.

Upon delivery, the box had a hole in bottom of it, it was obviously opened before, and taped back together.....I believe this product was returned, taped back together and resold!!! Not happy at all, and fully intend to return it, and purchase another somewhere other than Walmart.

0 Stars. This unit couldn't make dough for one normal sized loaf of plain white bread. It is beyond useless as an overhead mixer and shouldn't be bought by anyone looking to use it as such. It is just a crappy little hand held mixer with a very crappy plastic stand. 0 stars. Junk.

bought this as a gift for my daughter's birthday she has used it less than a dozen times in 9months it no longer works. have used Hamilton beach forever always had good things to say, but not anymore.

Im sure the product is ok but the one i recieved last week had been opened taken apart and repackaged. I cant beilieve walmart.com sent me a used and returned item! As u will note i have bought many items from this site with no complaints. But the condition this showed up in and the fact i had to go get another one and im out money i spent just makes me sick.
