Terrible -- Lowest Speed is Too Fast!
on March 5, 2026
Posted by: LisaKP
Very unhappy with this mixer. The lowest speed (1) is so fast that it's impossible to control ingredients (ie: sugar, butter, flour) from flying out of the mixing bowl on to the counter or one's clothing. I have tried giving several chances after the first use but it is so messy that I can't imagine being able to use. I even tried pre-mixing/stirring to avoid the mess. I shouldn't have to do that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This Hand Mixer is awesome! It actually has 5 speeds and goes from low to very powerful!! I've been looking for one that has real power and speed and this is it! IF there is any drawback, it is a bit noisy on high speed...BUT...I will gladly have the noise because the mixer performs so well!
My old hand mixer finally bit the dust. I did a search for a replacement and this one was featured. It is exactly as described and I have used it many times already. I am very pleased and think you will be too.
We already owned a Cuisinart coffeemaker and are very pleased with it decided to try the mixer and so far it works great! Cuisinart products are high quality and really last.
I just purchased this hand mixer and tried it out on whipping cream and pie filling. It handled great and the end product turned out well. Easy to use and shift speeds. Also the beaters ejected fine.
After fewer than a dozen uses only speeds 2, 3, and 4 work, and 2 is too fast to blend dry ingredients.
