[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a three-speed avocado green hand mixer where the low speed no longer works for the past 50 years. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to come across the Hamilton Beach Professional Cordless Hand Mixer with Infinite Speed Control, especially right before the holidays. I own several Hamilton Beach kitchen products and have found them to be well-made, dependable, and a good value. This hand mixer is no exception.
The hand mixer arrived well-packed in its own box. The mixer comes with a whisk and two beaters as well as AC power block and cord, plus a set of thorough, clear instructions, and a Quick Use Guide. Everything was foam- or plastic-wrapped and surrounded by cardboard.
The Hamilton Beach Professional Cordless Hand Mixer with Infinite Speed Control measures ~7.5" L x 4" W x 6.25" H and weighs almost 2.2 pounds. The mixer body is gray and black ABS plastic and the stand is clear ABS plastic. The mixer arrived about 2/3 charged and completely charged within an hour.
The Power button is located on the left rear of the mixer and charging port is under a rubber protector on the right rear. There is a gray beater trigger release in the center of the mixer on the body. On the top front of the handle is a circular LED display with rotary speed dial which lights up when the Power button is on. Below the display is a green light to indicate the power is on. The LED display shows percentage of battery remaining as well as speed indicator (Low to High). A clear plastic stand holds the beaters and AC power block. The mixer clips onto the stand at the front and rear of the mixer body for storage.
To operate, fully charge the battery, then press the Power button. Next, press the center of the rotary display to show the variable speeds and battery percentage. Finally, turn the rotary knob to the right to increase speed and to the left to decrease. When finished mixing, press the center of the display and turn the power button off.
The unit is powerful and mixes food smoothly and quickly; however, it is not overly loud even at the highest speed. The beaters and whisk insert and eject easily. The mixer fits the hand nicely and is not heavy to hold. Everything cleans up easily. I used the mixer to make banana bread as well as a sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, and whipped cream. It handled all the various ingredients without missing a beat, so to speak, and made the tasks effortless.
Overall, the Hamilton Beach Professional Cordless Hand Mixer with Infinite Speed Control is attractive, powerful, easy to use and clean, and works as designed. I am pleased to finally get the power cord out of the way during mixing! Hamilton Beach provides a generous five year warranty on the mixer. I award the Hamilton Beach Professional Cordless Hand Mixer with Infinite Speed Control 5 stars and recommend it.
