BLACK+DECKER 5 Pace Electrical Hand Held Mixer, HELIX beaters, Whisk, and Dough Hook Attachments, Turbo Increase, Snap-On Storage Case

So happy with the quality & performance of this mixer.
I used my new Black & Decker mixer today for mashed potatoes. I was amazed at the power & performance of this mixer compared to my old one. Wish I had discovered it sooner. It’s also light weight & easy to operate, clean, & store.

Mixing things up
This is very good. Does the job. Has a nice, sleek look. And I love the storage design.

Works perfectly
Works well. Easy to use. Easy to remove the mixers. Perfect weight. Excellent value for my money.

Just buy the kitchenaid
I needed a hand mixer for a second home. I had just gotten a new kitchenaid 6 speed at my primary home and love it, but was hoping I could be thrifty and save some money outfitting the second kitchen. Turns out that was a fail.I read all the reviews, negative and positive, and it seemed there was valid explanation for most of the negative outcomes people had. For example, some people said the batter rises up the wands when you try to mix anything. But I then read that this was because people had the wands in the wrong holes. Well, turns out that the batter does ride up the wands and you cannot reverse/change the placement as they have unique fittings for right and left.In addition, the speeds are terrible. The lowest speed is way too fast to begin mixing anything, even just to cream butter and sugar, and stuff goes flying everywhere, creating a mess. As you can imagine this is a complete disaster if you are mixing dry ingredients like flour. I made a batch of cookies and the low speed was much too fast and powerful for any step of that process. And with the dough climbing up the wands, instead of moving downward into the bowl, the actual mixing of the ingredients was terrible. I had to finish by hand.Clean up is also oddly time consuming. Typically one can just increase the speed and slowly move the wands up and out of the batter, and batter gently comes off the wands. But as these wands fill with dough, and it climbs up the stems, the wands become covered in dough/batter, mostly on the upper part. With my kitchenaid, the wands are covered with a silicone type of material and the batter just slides off, leaving very little to clean. With these wands, they are full of batter and I had to get out a butter knife and also use my fingers to slowly scrape them clean of batter.This machine is not quiet. I assumed the motor would be noisier than my kitchenaid, given the lower price, but thought the coating on the wands might dampen things in the bowl. Nope. The wands are actually a hard plastic that clangs against the bowl, almost as loud as metal wands.The electric cord is also oddly brittle feeling and I imagine depending upon how you store it, could wear and start to split. If you store it in the case, wrapping the cord to fit, it will be bent at an angle that is likely to yield to stress at some point. This was actually the death of my last mixer. But that cord was flexible and that one made it at least 20 years before splitting. I would gamble that the cord on the black and decker would yield much faster.If you want a mixer that mixes batter/dough down into the bowl, has a low enough speed to start the mixing process for everything from cakes to cookies to bread dough, has quiet and smooth operation, is easy to clean, will be easier than hand mixing and will be likely to last years, it is not this one. Buy something else. I recommend the kitchenaid 6 speed (or greater).

This thing works well, the attachments are great, it hasn’t struggled with mixing any thick icing or doughs. Love the storage container too. Would but again

Works great and it keeps everything all together so I don’t lose the attachments.
