Breville the Helpful Combine Scraper™ Mixer, BHM800DBL, Damson Blue

Very Powerful Hand Mixer
Most probably the best hand mixer out there in both design and features. Even though it has a plastic housing it is a little heavier than most hand mixers, but this gives it a very solid built feeling to it. The beaters are very thick and strongly built, so are the dough hooks. The wire whisks are nice too. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. I took it out of the box and had no problem operating it without reading instructions. Unless you use the pause feature it always starts on the very low setting to avoid splashes. And low is truly low. The count up timer is nice. The pause feature is also nice. When using the pause feature and you start it back up it remembers the speed you were using and goes back to that speed as well as the counter resumes. The LED light is a nice feature and I like the fact that it only turns on when running the mixer and during pause. When you turn the mixer off the light goes out. With some appliances the light comes on when plugged in and stays on until you unplug it. The rotary push up speed dial works perfectly. You press it down to get the boost feature. Now to the boost feature: This is the only feature that could have been designed better. Pushing boost advances the mixer to the highest speed while pressing down on the dial no matter what speed you are using. For example if you are on low speed one, boost will advance it to speed nine. A better design would have been to just boost it one or two speeds ahead. If you are mixing dry ingredients on speed one and need a little more power, move it to speed two, not boost or you will get a big surprise. In my opinion boost is not even needed. Just dial it up. I have compared this mixer with two top brands that start with K and with C. This mixer is superior to both of them in both design, features and quality. I have used both of the other brands. If this mixer holds up it will be by far the best. Unfortunately to get all of these wonderful features a lot of electronics are used in mixers these days in all of the top of the line brands. If the electronics hold up in this mixer I hope to be using it for many years to come. It is not as simple as a mechanical on/off switch and speed dial anymore. The mixer is also pretty quiet for a mixer with this power. It has no sharp or high pitched whining sound. For power the mixer out there that is similar to this one is the C brand but not nearly as many helpful features. This mixer is expensive but if your need is for a powerful feature laden hand mixer and also an executive look, this is the one. Everything including the cord will pack away in the storage bin that the mixer attached to. This unit has a very heavy duty cord that swivels to the left and right of the mixer and locks in place. Even the plug is top of the line. It has a hole in the center for easy grasping. Make you think you are in Europe. I can recommend this mixer for all except for maybe an elderly individual with arthritis in their hands that may have trouble with the added weight. While not what I would call heavy it is definitely heavier than your average hand mixer.

Power & Speed control
This mixer is the best hand mixer I’ve ever owned! It comes with a nice assortment of attachments for every job. The light is a nice addition and it has a lot of power. The speed wheel allows me to adjust the speed with just a touch. Many of the speed settings on other hand mixers I’ve owned didn’t adjust the speed with the precision this one does. The slow speed is actually slow! The nicest part is that it’s super quiet. I am super glad I did my research and chose this brand. A great choice!

Outstanding Hand Mixer
Finally, a Breville product that earns the hype. Compared to my $$$$ Kitchenaid hand mixer, which is only a few years old and already making a grinding noise and was terribly awkward to use, this Breville is everything it claims and more. Very easy to use, powerful, not too heavy but still robust, controls are logical and responsive, all of the beaters are well-designed. There are even 2 whisk beaters-yaaaay! The small beater release trigger is the perfect size and does not interfere with using the handle when mixing. I bought the blue one and it is actually pretty gorgeous. I highly recommend it, especially if you are replacing a Kitchenaid mixer. Performance, ergonomics, features, and build quality all add up to a superior product.

Muy buen producto para cocina, de muy buena calidad

Im not a huge baker but I like to have quality tools when I do bake! I am totally impress! I’ve used it twice. Last time it was for mash potatoes. Never had such fluffy mash potatoes in my life!!!It’s sturdy, beautiful and very well made. I love the pull out ring for the « blades » also reproduce for the electric cord! Brilliant!The light is a very nice add on. And the electronic timer should help greatly when instruction gives you a duration for « beating » .
