Kitchen Mixer Help

This mixer is one of the best I’ve seen. They also have a refurbished line with the same warranty as a new one, the only thing different is the price, which is about $170.00. You couldn’t ask for a better small appliance in your kitchen. This unit will do anything you need done as far as mixing, and it doesn’t even over heat on those big dough jobs. The mixer has what is called a worm gear inside with a heavy duty vinyl gear on it. This gear is designed to protect the mixer from burning out if beater gets jammed or if you are mixing to heavy of a load. If you do overload the mixer the gear will give out before you damage the mixer. A 40 to 60 dollar repair compared to the cost of a new mixer. This is a good mixer and I recommend it to everyone.

"Bosch hand mixers offer the ergonomic design you would expect from Bosch for maximum comfort and handling combined with the high wattage and accessories you need most for your hand mixing tasks. Our hand mixers are available in three styles to expertly mix, beat, whip, blend and even chop. All three models offer optimal results delivered in compact packages."

I begged for this mixer for Christmas. After recieving it, the first time I turned it on, it emmitted a burning motor smell. Hoping that it was just breaking in, I used it.

I trusted KitchenAid because I’ve owned 2 of the smaller 4.5 qt models, and they have been superb mixers - not a complaint with them - other than they are too small. Which is why I wanted the larger one.

I also own the 11 cup Professional Food Processor, the Blender, 3 Hand mixers. All have performed wonderfully.

I chose to buy a KitchenAid because of the name reputation. I specifically chose the Artisan 5-quart because it is the largest KitchenAid stand mixer that still has a tilt-back head, which was something I wanted. The price wasn’t that much higher than the smaller KitchenAids, and I wanted the biggest motor I could get, after reading some reviews of the smaller ones that mentioned overheating.

MUCH BETTER THAN MY PREVIOUS MIXERS:

After reading an earlier review, and in need of an inexpensive mixer, I bought this as my first Black & Decker mixer. I used it for 6 months, and it was good to me. While I missed the lower speeds my Sunbeam upright had, for the money, this baby did the job, until I used it on butter that was too hard. The beaters locked, and stripped out the housing that holds them. I should have known better. It had spoiled me, and I forgot that it was still a relatively light weight mixer. So after being so delighted with my first one, I went back for another.

Reviews

Sunbeam Model 2485 Hand Mixer

Positive Lots of power

Burst of power for heavy mixing

Open designed beaters
Cons: It lasted five years with occasional use.

I wasn’t yet ready to plop down the $250 or so dollars for the stand mixer I wanted but I was ready for a hand mixer a tad bit more substantial than my $6 Sunbeam hand mixer that I’d got from Rite Aid a few years back. My choice was the Braun 4-in-1 MultiMix Hand Mixer (M880).

Product Details

Most hand mixers employ a horizontal motor design. The Braun MultiMix uses a vertical power system, with the motor directly over the attachments to deliver optimal power. It features 3 speeds and a power pulse. In addition it has a hefty 280 watt DC motor with overheat protection. The other hand mixers I saw in the store had 200-220 watt motors.

Even a double batch of chocolate-chip cookie dough is no match for this three-speed electronic hand mixer with SmartPower. The powerful 220-watt motor easily cuts through refrigerated butter and dough; SmartPower is a programmed feature that automatically feeds in extra power when needed, so the mixer doesnt bog down. The stainless-steel beaters are extra long and wide, without a center post, to minimize clogging. Go from off to low, medium, or high with the push of a button, and the rotating swivel cord can be positioned out of the way whether youre right- or left-handed.
