Overview
At 150 watts and five speeds, the Brentwood HM-48B is a lightweight, ergonomic hand mixer with a beater ejection button and dishwasher-safe chrome beaters.
- 5-speed, 150W motor
- Lightweight, ergonomic design
- Beater ejection button for easy cleaning
- Dishwasher-safe chrome beaters
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants a simple, no-frills hand mixer for everyday baking tasks like batter and light doughs at a low price. Less suited to anyone who wants to mix directly in a tall pot, such as mashing potatoes without tilting it, since the beaters are shorter than a vertical stand mixer's.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Several reviewers report years of trouble-free use and call the mixer stable on the counter, but others describe it failing suddenly within months of light use. A few also flagged beaters shorter than expected for reaching into taller pots, and one buyer's box arrived missing the dough hooks shown in listing photos.

Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Beater ejection button simplifies cleanup
- Stable and lightweight for everyday use
- Some units stopped working within months
