Best Baking Mixer Small

👤My wife has been making a lot of pancakes lately and decided to try the hand mixer instead of beating the mixture by hand. I have been enjoying it so far. We haven't used all of the different attachments yet. It is not very heavy so it is not tiring to hold.

👤I need a new mixer and the store doesn't have much of a reputation anymore. I was glad I looked on line. I never had a mixer with more than one attachment. I didn't know hand held mixers had this option. I have been using this mixer more than my old mixer. I have all these extras to use and they have been helpful. I used to make pizza dough by hand. I will use the mixer now that I have used it with the dough attachment. This weight is easy to use. I now get extra fluffy eggs with the wisk attachment. My scrambled eggs are getting a bit bigger. Who knew a mixer would make things better in the kitchen?

👤The hand mixer is wonderful. It was in great need of one and was sold out in all stores. It's handy when baking cookies. I kept mines at level 3 and mixed my butter and sugar in a way that you can see in the video.

👤This is a good mixer. It does what it's supposed to. I expected more power for the motor. I have uploaded a video of kneading bread dough which I think puts the most pressure on any mixer's motor, I needed a third hand to hold the bowl but didn't have anyone around to help, that's why the bowl keeps turning. I don't know if it's normal for a 400W mixer to slow down and show weakness when you push it down into the dough to get a good knead, but that's what happens to this mixer.

👤It was almost too powerful. The previous B&D hand mixer burned up making a lot of chocolate chip cookies, so I bought this to replace it. This one powered through without a hitch. It was throwing dough out of the bowl on the first setting. Next time, use a bigger bowl. I did not need to use the "turbo" button. I tried it out before I started the cookies. It's similar to moving the switch to the next higher setting but with better control as you can quickly press and depress the button while still mixing with one hand. I love the fact that it came with bread dough kneading and beaters. The storage container is attached to the mixer. I don't have to look through the kitchen utensil drawer for them.

👤This mixer is equivalent to a number 8 on my KitchenAid hand mixer. It splatters everywhere on the lowest speed. I was looking for something that powerful, but the low-speed is too powerful to make a functioning mixer.

👤My daughter recently moved out and I bought this for her. She gifted her a mixer after she prepared dinner. It was used to prepare dinner that night. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to hold and maneuver. It's easy to operate and clean, that's what I liked the most. She didn't want to have to learn how to clean and use multiple parts. It stores well. It made pudding as well as potatoes. She plans to make dough this weekend. She doesn't like the boost button because it's too easy to give it too much of a boost. My daughter made several bread loafs. Purchase another one for me.

👤I write good reviews about products I buy, use, and wear. I wanted a budget version for a cooking class, but I was not ready to buy a Kitchenaid because of the price, so I got this one. The quality of the beaters was not great, the mixer was loud and messy, and the flour was all over the place. I had to use my old hand mixer because I couldn't remove it from the stand. The bowl was the only thing that I liked and I returned it because it was useless.

👤It is supposed to be a stand mixer. You don't learn anything until you open it and read the manual, and that's because you're not supposed to use the dough hooks while using it as a stand mixer. You're supposed to hold the mixer in one hand and a bowl of dough in the other, and use it to knead the dough without either one being wrenched, or dropped, to the floor because bread dough is very stiff. It was useless. I own a hand mixer.

👤I only used the mixer twice to make pizza dough. When the switch is on, the mixer gets warm. I expected more from this brand and will be requesting a refund. I don't recommend this product.

👤I noticed a few annoying problems when I used this for the first time. I had to remove the bowl and use it as a hand mixer because it didn't seem to want to rotate the way I needed it. The attachment didn't want to stay in the correct position. When I tried to make a frosting with it, it began to emit a burning plastic smell, and shot out a few puffs of smoke. I immediately turned it off and went back to my old mixer. I bought this as a starting stand mixer for my home bakery business, and have a few other Hamilton Beach products I've been very pleased with. It's going back and I'm very disappointed.

👤Make sure to check your mixer pieces. I was washing mine and the metal was falling off of it. Thankfully I checked before I used it. I tried this mixer out to see if it was worth it, and it was crazy. I tried it on some cake batter and it was crazy and smelled like burning electrical... save yourself the time and money. It isn't worth it.

👤We knew that the mixer would be returned when we took it out of the box. The beaters were small and flimsy and the whole thing was made out of plastic. We decided to try it out. It was confirmed that we would send it back. The cake batter never got fully mixed, and the beaters did not reach to the outside of the bowl. Amazon has an easy return policy.

👤The product is pretty good. It is missing a way to lock the bowl in place. It spins with the mixer. When you turn your back on it, it speeds up and flings whatever you were mixing in a beautiful circle pattern all around your kitchen. It's hard to clean under the spinning wheel. The mixer part works well.

👤This mixer works well. The feet stick to the surface so they don't move fast. The bowl is locked into place. It comes with a splash guard that is easy to remove and is held in place with Silicon stoppers. If the mixing blade is up, you can't have things flying around the room because nothing works unless it is plugged in and working. It has 6 speeds and a high pulse setting. It's so easy to transfer from counter to stand and back because it has a handle on the bowl. The machine has dough like bread and pizza dough. The dust cover keeps everything in one place and it stays clean.

👤I really wanted to like this. It is absolutely beautiful. There is a guard on the main beater which makes a mess when you add ingredients, and the clear splash guard is only held up by 4 rubber spacers. I have only used the mixer for the first time tonight and one of the rubber things has already ripped a bit, just from being on the mixer like it is supposed to be! I am really sad. The description says it is dishwasher safe, but the instructions only mention the splash guard and whisk attachment. I don't want to have to return this, but I might be better off just forking over the money for a new appliance.

👤My niece is outside. Everythning is wild and unusual. She just got her first apartment. I wanted to give her something new just for her and she was in need of kitchen appliances, furniture, etc. I think everyone needs this and loves that it comes in four different colors, two of which are not typcial. The champagne and purple are amazing. It's easy to use, has a nice size mixing bowl and works just as well as the name brand one at a fraction of the cost. The dough hook, the beater and the whisk are included. The pieces are easy to clean.

👤I like the stand mixer. The base has anti-slip feet which prevent the mixer from moving when it's working, making it safer.

👤The mincer is heavy. I am going to pay a fee for not liking the mixer. If you don't remove the first beater, the bowl rubs against the other if you try to remove it. Unless you remove the messy beater, you can't mix more. If you need more, you have to wash everything and transfer it to another bowl that doesn't work with the mixer, and you can't remove the beater unless you first remove the bowl. It's very inconvenient and frustrating. This mixer is not recommended by me. They say you only get what you pay for.

👤The tilt-head makes it easy to remove the bowl and mixing attachment. The attachment is easy to clean. Six speeds allow for mixing different things. I mix cake batter, cream puff batter, whipped topping, and bread dough with it.

👤My daughter has always wanted a stand mixer, but I was surprised that it was the right price, she loved the color, and couldn't wait to use it.

👤My wife bakes a lot so I bought this mixer. She was using hand mixers. The load would burn out if the motors couldn't handle it. She was impressed with the power of the motor of the mixer, it was easy to get through the thick cookie dough. The spot welds at the tip that join the two pieces of beater broke after the third time they were used. She used them for another 6 months and then the weld at the base of the beater broke and it was useless. Kitchenaid makes a good mixer, but their beaters are garbage. The beaters that I bought for the $10 Proctor Silex mixer are made better and more durable. The mixer is awesome, but the beaters need work.

👤A hand-mixer with a slow speed is finally here. My mom has a mixer from when she was a teenager. When it's on the slowest setting, it slowly incorporates the dry ingredients. Every modern mixer that I'd bought had such high speeds that even the low one would blow the flour out of the bowl, making a huge mess. Higher speeds and the boost in power were not needed. It was frustrating for me to use this because I never found a bowl tall enough to hold everything inside. The mixer's setting is slow enough to be useful. I can mix the wet and dry ingredients with ease. I've only used this a few times so far, but I'm very pleased with the results. It is a pretty color and balances well when you need to set it down. When I looked at the manual, I was a bit sad to see that other models came with extra attachments, however after looking up, it seems that those extra attachments are compatible with this mixer. Since these beaters can be used for most things, I was reassured that this was the right model for me, since I might as well not pay for the extra attachments unless I need them in the future.

👤Not a good product. I've returned two of them. KitchenAid is no longer a quality product. I will not rely on their name again in the future. The mixer is not loud. It has a variety of speeds. They have a lot of pretty colors. The beaters are very flimsy. The beaters are not stable on two orders of the same model. Again, a feeling of low quality.

👤This thing couldn't make butter. It's really under-powered. Everyone had mashed potatoes the first time they tried it. The thing was going to burn up. I was the jacka** because it was a gift.

👤I bought this for my son and his bride. I used it when I went down for their wedding first person to use it. I ended up whipping cream for a dessert with their Ninja. I'm not in a position to arrange a return, but I would if I could. I apologized to them and told them to get rid of it. I will buy them another mixer since this is a worthless pile of plastic. I never thought I'd have to say that about a product. You can save yourself some trouble and disappointment by buying another hand mixer.

👤Excellent mixer! The power and various speeds settings are what I like about this model. I used to have a mixer that would slow down when mixing thick batter or cookie dough, but this one powers through everything with ease. Its powerful. The storage rack is very cool. You can store the mixers and the attachment in one place, so no more losing parts. It's compact and easy to store in my cupboard. You could keep it on the counter because it takes up less space than a tea saucer. The purchase is very good quality and construction for the price point, and I am very happy with it.

👤This weekend, I finally got to open it and use it. For family and friends, I make many InstantPot Cheesecakes. The Shardor did a great job. It had the power to whip up cream cheese, but it was also slow and controlled enough for the delicate part when you add eggs to the thick batter. The last mixer was terrible. It was too powerful on the lowest setting. It made a lot of unnecessary messes. The Shardor is better than the other ones. I like the extended length mixers that it came with. It was easier to mix in our bowls. I haven't had any negative criticism yet. It's been great. I will update my review if there is a change. If you catch it on sale, this mixer is a great value.

👤I bought this to fix the beaters of a 52 year old Penncrest man. I like that the mixer is more powerful than my old one. I like that it can sit on the counter with the beaters and dough hooks in the unit. It's very handy. I thought I had put the beaters in correctly when I tried it the first time. I started creaming butter and sugar when one of the beaters fell out. I don't think it matters as it does with the dough hooks. After that, worked well. Batter was used to make upside down cake. It worked out great. The dough hooks were used to make WW dough. It did not include all of the flour. I think it would have been easier to use a narrower bowl. It worked better than mixing by hand. The price was great for a nice mixer. I hope it lasts as long as I do, but I doubt I will be around to see it. Would like to be able to cord for a bit longer.

👤When it came across lemon seeds, it was made from plastic. The motor warms up fast so you can only use it for 2 or 3 minutes before it cools down. If you are only making a smoothie, that's fine. It takes 2 to 3 days to freeze the juice from your lemon harvest. Disappointed.

👤The mixer is easy to store. Love the multiple speeds and reverse setting. I have used it many times. Baking and cooking can be done quickly. Most of the time, I use the large mixer. When I am, it is ready to go. It's easy to clean. I stopped baking because the large mixer was hard to clean, but now I am doing it again. I love this mixer! This item is recommended by me.

👤I am an avid cookie baker and my kitchen appliance died. I needed a mixer for the holidays, but I was unhappy about that. I can make 12 batches of cookies and 2 batches of bread in a day. I was impressed with the overall appearance of this thing. The chances of getting flour in the assembly are low because it appears to be well covered. The mixer will be more difficult to service. The assembly is lighter because it feels like plastic. The top of the mixer has a speed guide. There are cups on the bottom that keep it from rattling. The head lift is a mechanical button, not a fan, especially with chocolate chips, because it can get a bit tight. I can only do one batches of cookies at a time, which is lousy, but workable. It came with a guard, which was great, and saved me hours of cleaning. I like this machine more than my kitchenaid, and I hope it gets more traction in the market.

👤I bought this for my wife because I thought Hamilton Beach would be a cheaper brand. After reading reviews, I decided to go with KitchenAid. There were many good reviews, but also some negative ones that included the plastic hinges breaking so that the mixer couldn't be lowered into the bowl and snapped to stay down. This happened after the fifth use. My wife made some peanut putter cookies. The mixer is being held down. She heard a loud snap, the unit started shuddering, and the mixer came apart in two separate pieces. The white cord held everything together. The metal pieces were upright. We are still in the warranty period and hope the manufacturer will replace this unit with a more sturdy one. I will update this review once I hear from the manufacturer.

👤I've never owned a stand up mixer, but with the costs of Kitchenaid mixers, I've been hesitant. I tried it because of the good reviews and the better price. I've made cinnamon rolls and challah bread. The dough hook made kneading easier. The fan is big, like the cups on the bottom. The bowl is easy to clean and slippery.

👤I am very disappointed in this product. It seems like it doesn't seem to be that durable. The mixer was shaking violently when I tried to mix it up. The shield guard is useless. It has a small opening in the middle of the room to add ingredients. I had to stop the mixer and tilt the head to make sure the beater was not in the way when I wanted to add more ingredients. The bowl is small at the top. You only get one bowl. You can't use a regular bowl in my cooking and baking needs. I couldn't find them online. The mixer wouldn't start. The thing won't go when I mix a receipt. I tried to plug it back in, but it wouldn't work. I will be returning a product that doesn't work. It was a disappointment.

👤I don't normally post reviews but I was surprised by the quality of this mixer. I've previously had issues with other sellers on Amazon for appliances, but this time they didn't have dents or damage. I needed a free 1 year warranty on the mixer since I didn't buy the one from Amazon. I used it for baking bread because I didn't have any missing parts and it was very strong and easy to clean. I always wanted a mixer and kitchen aid was out of budget, but this mixer is almost a steal for the price. If you are a baker like me, you'll need this mixer and you'll be happy you bought it.

👤Update. Accidentally ran one of the attachment through the dishwasher and it is now black and has a black powdery mess around it. I don't think it's safe to eat it anymore. It is difficult with thick dough. Don't run anything through the dishwasher, I love the mixer. I love that it is not too heavy for the elderly or children. It is sturdy, and does not smell like burning plastic, but it does have a new smell which wears off in less than a minute. It comes with the attachment, which I don't think many competitors do anymore, or at least not for less than double or triple the price. It is easy to use, even though the video shows the volume and ease of use. Moms know the convenience of anything that you can do with one hand, and this is it minus a few seconds here and there to put the attachment on and to close it. I'm excited to have this thing. I'll be sure to update here as well if anything goes wrong, I'd hate to lead people on to a bad product.

👤I liked the mixer. I use it for cakes and cookies and it's very cheap. It's easy to clean. If you are looking for a reasonably priced stand mixer, I would recommend it. I don't think that is an issue for the price because you have to clean the sides once or twice.

👤I was happy with my first use. I have a KitchenAid as well. This is light weight and great for the price. I thought I had ordered a bigger bowl. Be careful. This is only 4.5 quarts.

👤The mixer is great for the price. This mixer is perfect if you are a beginner baker. It is easy to mix and store batter. I am happy I purchased.

👤My daughter picked it out and I bought it for her. My daughter loved baking. It was easy to assemble. It is easy to clean. She and my kids are always making food.

👤My mother used to bake with a blender. She loves how clean and powerful it is. She is excited to use the power to make her baking easier. The mixer is quiet and has enough power to make dough. My mother has used the mixer 7 times and made some great cakes and breads. She is happy with the mixer.

👤The mixer is fast and fast. The cake mixer is on the kitchen counter. You need to be very strong to remove the beaters. I can't release them by pressing the button. My husband had to remove them. I have it packaged for a return. I wanted other shoppers to know my experience.

👤I looked at the reviews and saw that they were great, but now I see people complaining about the number one setting being on five. This is terrible if you want to be covered in whatever you are mixing. I wish I could return it, it's the first time I've used it, and I wish I'd known what a waste of money it was. Any suggestions for a mixer that runs fast?

👤The speed is the only thing I like about this mixer. I knew it would be difficult to start, but it is. It serves my needs but wouldn't purchase it again and wouldn't recommend it.

👤I need a new hand mixer. Black Friday mixers were cheap. I bought a new house and felt like I needed some new kitchen items. I saw this one because I told the hubs. Red! Wow! Let's try it, I like it, had some goof reviews. The size of the box was great. It has 2 sets of mixers. It was used to make mashed potatoes. I would recommend this product if it had a case that held the attachment.

👤The low speed was too high for me. It is pretty powerful and well made. It's a little heavy. It depends on what you are using it for and whether you would like it or not. I need a stand mixer for small jobs.

👤It's a powerful mixer. After moving to the US, we were challenged to find a powerful kitchen appliance, but that seems to have been the case. It looks great with appliances in the same color. The button is bad. Some people might find out how it works and press it. I need to press it with both hands to get the beater tool out. We do liquid mixing in the kitchen sink because the beater tool seems to have a slight defect. It sprinkles some stuff around. We used to have a Kenwood mixer back home, but it didn't have that peculiarity.

👤The mixer is a good value. I like the power of hand mixers. I bake a lot of cakes and cookies. Stand mixer for bread. The beaters are too short. The batter for the cake and cookie dough makes a mess. Many reviews said the eject button was hard to use. The beaters drop out well if you press down at the top half of the apparatus. The middle will be a challenge. Hope this helps you! The beaters attach to the plastic parts and that is what causes the mixer to fail. It's so frustrating.

👤The mixer was well built and powerful. The fastest speed is too fast. I couldn't slow it down fast enough.

👤It is very easy to use. The power of the suction is very high. While you are working with it, your mixer won't move.

👤It is a good mixer to use for cooking.

👤Poor quality product. It was loud and didn't mix flour well. It's hard to clean. I decided to return the product immediately after using it for the first time. It was done twice before purchasing. I got what I paid for, that's a lesson I learned. Poor product. Do not recommend.

👤The little mixer has been useful. It works well and is not noisy. The bowl can be easily removed by turning it. The beaters and bowl are dishwasher safe. It has a switch on the base that can change the position of the bowl so that it can blend in the center or blend along the sides of the bowl. It is easy to remove bowl or beaters. I drag a silicone batter spatula along the sides to help remove any ingredients stuck to the side of the bowl. It looks great sitting on my counter top. I have always wanted a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but until we win the lottery. This is a great alternative for a budget that is effective and cute.

👤This was the second time I used this. The blades have been difficult to insert. It worked the first time. The blade broke making mashed potatoes. You could see where the hinges were rusted. I just bought this. I have to make a new dish. I have to clean it up. Very disappointed.

👤I bought this even though I was told to save up for the 300$ brand. I've used this for 4 different cakes and it's worked great. All the reviews said it was not heavy enough to kill a man. The weight has not made it perform badly. It is starting to feel like all the reviews that said to just buy kitchen aid are lying. The brand looks cute.

👤This product was disappointing. I was surprised by how light it felt. It was very loud. I was hoping for something better than a handheld mixer, but I decided against it. Baking more than simple box recipes that don't require low or medium speeds is not recommended. This seems to have high speeds only. It was a big disappointment and I hate to be so negative.

👤The price of other stand mixers is much higher. Several batches of Oatmeal Scotchie cookies have already been made as well as several cakes with homemade frosting, which is a good thing, but the head tilt is a little awkward to manage, and the beaters are hard to remove, only one bowl. I would recommend this to a person with limited funds who needs a stand mixer. It does its job.

👤I just saw the price and it makes me angry. I paid a lot for this. It just stopped working after 6 months. How is it going for $37 now?

👤I love it! It works well, is easy to clean, and looks great in my kitchen. The lowest speed is still pretty high.

👤I was not sure if the mixer would work. It is light and flimsy, which was not surprising considering the price. I have used it a few times now and my initial impressions have been disproved. I've used it to make mashed potatoes, 2 very dense cookie batters, and a few other recipes. I wanted to know if it would be good for people with limited strength. It's light and easy to fit the bowl underneath, so it would be good for this purpose. I plan to buy one for my sister. She will be able to use the mixer easily. It's worth the low cost.
