Black & Deckers - Ups and Downs
This is a solid mixer that will get the job done. It comes with whisks and beaters, which I think is great. I use the whisks for scrambled eggs, and they come extra fluffy.
My gripes is that there really is no "low" speed on here. Even on the lowest setting, it sounds like a corvette is going to roll through my mixing bowl.
Also, the plastic spatula is a nice thought, but no substitute for a real spatula. It kinda helps if you're doing cake batter, or something equally thick, but don't buy this one just because it comes with a gimmick.
Lousy mixer
We replaced a cheap $10 Proctor Silex mixer with this Black & Decker model that was suppose to be an upgrade. What a mistake this was as the mixer did not even last a year of use. I find it humorous that they give you heavy duty beaters and motor with power boost and then use PLASTIC gears! I took the unit apart as soon as I heard the grinding sounds coming from it and sure enough the gears had warn a thin line down the center of them rendering the mixer worthless. What is amazing to me is the cheap Proctor Silex mixer had worked for 5 years doing the same job without breaking, we ended up donating it at the end but still working as good as new. The only reason we upgraded was to get some of the fancier features this model had, now we need to buy a new mixer.
Loads of Power
Excellent performance and very high power with this hand mixer. Recommend this product for small mixing jobs when you don't need a stand mixer.
