I love this mixer

I really like this mixer, it makes cooking easier and it let me enjoy my hobby. I haven't tried different brans as Braun is my default choice when it comes to mixers

Great!

This hand mixer is a lightweight, easy to use option for anyone who just needs to cover the basics. The mixer comes with two sets of attachments, but more can be purchased to expand your options as needed. I just wish they gave more details about the optional attachments, as I'd hate to buy the wrong one and have it not fit. Out of the box, it comes with a pair of dough hooks and a pair of whisks, as well as a cloth bag you can use to store them when they’re not in use.

When first using the mixer, I was surprised by how lightweight it is, and how easy it is to maneuver. I image most adults could easily use this hand mixer for quite a while without needing to rest, and the effort needed to guide it around the bowl is minimal as well. I never felt like the mixer was about to fly off in the wrong direction, or like I was having to wrestle it into the correct position for what I wanted to do. It was very easy to guide it around with one hand, which meant I could adjust the speed or hold the bowl with the other hand.

Speaking of, the way that you adjust the speed on this mixer is something I really like. I was dubious at first because the dial on top of the mixer seemed tough to reach while it was in use, and too finicky to adjust precisely. To my surprise, because the mixer is lightweight you can easily take your other hand and adjust the dial, and it’s also a very precise control for the speed. Rather than having a few settings for speed (Low/Med/High) you can more accurately adjust the speed as you see fit, which means you’ll never find yourself stuck between two mixing speeds with neither of them matching your needs.

Despite being small and light, the mixer itself (especially on high speed) packs a lot of power. It handled everything I threw at it with ease and never struggled, even with tough dough. The hooks and whisks were easy to clean, though parts of the handle on the mixer itself seems to be made of silicone, which attracts dust and hair that can be a pain to clean off. It does give it good grip I wish they had found another option as I don’t want to spend ages cleaning pet hair or dust off the mixer before I use it each time.

The mixer needs to be plugged into the wall in order to work, but the power cable is quite long which means most people shouldn’t have trouble finding somewhere it can be plugged in.

Overall I’m very happy with this mixer. It’s a small, compact appliance that fits easily in my kitchen and can be stored in cupboards without getting in the way. It’s powerful but light, and easy to control. I personally only need the dough hooks and the beaters, so it covers the basics for someone like me. I prefer my stand mixer still, but this is great four households that only bake occasionally or people who can't lift a heavy mixer.
