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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Hamilton Beach hand held mixer. It is a more modern version of a Hamilton Beach hand held mixer I have had and loved for years. This new one came with coated beaters. I used the beaters to make mashed potatoes which did not cling to the beaters and were easy to clean. It came with dough hooks which I doubt I will use, but you never know. And it also came with a whisk that is my favorite. I used it to make a lovely, fluffy mousse. The other feature I found very useful was the “burst” button on top. It worked well when I needed the extra little bit of mixing energy. The beater release lever is new since my older model. But I found I had to be careful when pressing the “burst” button as I had a tendency to accidently pull the beater release lever at the same time. The plastic case is convenient for keeping all of the pieces together but I have found it difficult to assemble and disassemble as my hands are not so strong. Hopefully with time it will loosen up. I'm sure I will get many years of use from it. /Users/artdietrich/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/6/6D58586A-2819-4CCD-97B2-BB8CADC1121A_1_105_c.jpeg /Users/artdietrich/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/7/7B40997F-04FB-4E72-B85B-15649A76ACE9_1_105_c.jpeg /Users/artdietrich/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/9/9372F971-8689-4823-B76C-57DC97E7C644_1_105_c.jpeg /Users/artdietrich/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/resources/derivatives/9/9372F971-8689-4823-B76C-57DC97E7C644_1_105_c.jpeg

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Hamilton Beach Handheld mixer and upon opening the box I was quite impressed! It’s not the mixer that my mom used! It has 7 speeds and I was amazed at how fast it blended dough for homemade bread. What I love about this mixer is it has a snap on storage case so no digging through drawers for the beaters/accessories. All in all I am pleased with this mixer and would recommend it to friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach Professional 7 Speed Handmixer is easy to use and does so much more than a regular handmixer. There are 7 speeds for easy mixing of cakes cookies or whatever needs to be mixed together. I have a small space so this mixer did what my old stand up mixer did and no counter storage necessary. Hamilton Beach makes my life so much easier with the best products for the best price!

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

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!

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

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