Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was nervous to purchase this because of the comments about lower speed, but now I know exactly why so many others weren't concerned about it. Yes, this mixer does not go nearly as fast as my previous mixers (the last of which broke while making a stiff buttercream), but there's a reason why - the beaters. Notice how they're thinner and shaped differently than the standard, flat-edged beaters? Other mixers need higher speeds because those flat-edged beaters hold onto whatever you're mixing and get clogged easier. The ones that come with this mixer do all the work for you. I make vegan cupcakes regularly, and I use vegan butter in my frosting which has to be creamed cold, straight out of the fridge. With my old mixer, it would get stuck in the middle of the beaters and take a good minute or longer to get broken up and be creamed even at high speeds. This mixer creams that same butter in mere seconds. It also handles my buttercream with ease, and that stuff gets very thick and hard to mix before it gets smooth and creamy. After several uses, I can definitely recommend this mixer. It's easier to maneuver, doesn't make my arms tired, and super easy to clean. The vents don't get sprayed and clogged with dry goods because of the low speed, and the locking cord stays out of the way. Very pleased with my purchase and excited to have a mixer that actually does some of the work for me.
