I’ve only used the mixer once. I received it today and used it to shred some cooked chicken. It shredded the chicken perfectly on the lowest speed. As others have noted, the first 3 speeds are all slow with little to no variation. I have a large mixer for heavy duty baking so I’m not overly concerned about power. It is lightweight, the beaters are large, sturdy, silicone coated, and fit in either opening! The mixer is extremely quiet and the speed dial adjusts smoothly with one hand. It didn’t jump around in the bowl, making it easy to handle. The cord is generous in length and locks left or right. Everything fits in the plastic box without having to reposition multiple times and the mixer snaps right on top. It also has a 5 year warranty!

Love this mixer! It is so powerful and runs very quiet. Loved it so much I purchased one for my daughter. We both do a lot of cooking/baking, and it will be put to the real test!

Thanks Hamilton Beach for making another fine product!

Excited to start using the hand mixer instead of lugging out the big mixer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice handmixer. I love how it naturally starts out slower so you don't end up with a spattered mess. The pulse option is also a very nice touch to it. I like how it has different attachments, I can really customize my needs as I bake.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for my wife, she loves it. No complaints here. Does the job and a great tool to have in the kitchen. Motor has plenty of power and the slow start speed feature is a must have. Great product, will be using for years to come.

Okay Hamilton, now make the blender cordless. It would make life easier for people with small kitchens with limited outlets.

not a fan of the rubber covered mixer paddles. love the mixer except for that

My Hamilton Beach Professional 7-speed electric hand mixer, which I recently received, arrived with a burnt motor, indicating a factory error, I believe. I had to return it to the store because when I plugged it in for the first time, I could smell the motor, which is not normal at all!

The mixer is quiet, mixes well and has multiple speeds for you to choose from.
