Need New Hand mixer

Allegheny · ‎03-19-2010

I murdered my ancient and beloved hand mixer making cookies for a wedding recently. I rarely use a mixer; only occasionally for cookies, cake mix or icing.

I do like mixers that come with a storge container and beaters that aren't prone to bending. If I was considering a stand mixer I would consider a KitchenAid, but not necessarily for a hand mixer.

Thank you.

@Allegheny I'm also looking for some advice. I have a stand mixer for holidays, etc. But I would like a hand mixer for quick things. So, I'll be following this with interest.

i'd recommend you select beaters that are round ilo flat and without a center post.

I have a Kitchenaid 5-speed that has been a workhorse for the last 10 years. I would buy it again if the one I own quit working.

By all means get the 9 speed kitchen aid

I highly recommend the Kitchen Aid 9 speed.

Had one that I accidentally dropped off the counter and it hit the floor hard (it was more than dropped, it was actually flung hard, when I moved my arm wrong, and sent it flying by accident). Still working years later, gave it to my son, and bought another of the same. It's the only hand mixer I've ever had that I can say I love. Great power, and long lasting. And tough!

Here's another vote for the KitchenAid nine speed! I've been putting mine through the paces for years and also bought the same model in different colors for my mother, two sisters, and a sister-in-law, and they all love this mixer, too.

My Sunbean has lasted 20 years and still works great!

I know. I wish they still made them as well as they did years ago. In fact the one that just died was a vintage Sunbeam purchased from e-Bay 4 years ago. I just pushed it too hard with cookie making several days in a row.

My DH just reminded that we have miles on one of the credit cards. They had a Breville available. I had been eyeing it. Is supposedly top rated this year (but pricey). Well since I am going to get it free with points I told him to order it.
