Overview

In a kitchen with limited drawer space, this lightweight hand mixer tucks away between uses. Push buttons choose among the speeds, and a lockable swivel cord moves with you around the bowl.

Light weight and a swivel cord are the strengths, along with beaters that release at the touch of a button and can go in the dishwasher. The shortfall is power, since a low wattage suits batters and whipping rather than stiff dough.

Who it's for

Everyday baking and mashed potatoes are its natural home. Anyone who bakes bread weekly should plan on a stand mixer instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Lightweight and compact
  • Swivel cord locks in place
  • Easy release button for beaters
  • Beaters are dishwasher safe
Cons
  • No dough hooks listed
  • Low wattage for stiff dough

Performance notes

Mixing power comes from the motor, so speed one stirs in chunky ingredients like nuts or chocolate chips while speed five whips egg whites or cream. Two stainless steel Turbo Beaters do the work, and the swivel cord can be locked in place.
