This is the absolute best hand mixer I've ever had, and I've owned at least three. It is lightweight, quiet, beaters are easily inserted and removed, and the swivel cord is especially helpful when storing on a shelf.
I purchased the Power Advantage hand mixer as a replacement to my 50 year old stand mixer. The reason I chose a hand mixer is that I wanted some easy to use and not as bulky as the stand mixer. But I also wanted something that would be reliable and powerful enough to use for different applications.
When whipping potatoes it spews them all over the counter, even when on the slowest speed. It also has a hard time breaking down all the food if it’s slightly underdone
This mixer works so much better than the old one it replaced. My only complaint is that there really isn't a LOW setting. The low setting n this model is way to powerful.
My wife's very old but very powerful hand mixer finally gave up the ghost. She wanted one that would knead bread dough. So far, this one meeets her expectations.
