Expert Reviews


What experts liked

This basic mixer kneaded dough well for its center-style agitation.
Can be used as a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Good for mixing lighter ingredients.
Easy to assemble and disassemble. It is not too heavy and easy to store.

What experts didn't like

The mixer does not include a whisk attachment and does not aerate well.
A smaller bowl capacity. Attachments that don't always scrape the bottom. Dough hooks can't handle heavier loads.
The plastic or fibreglass disc attached to the head of one beater can fall off. Light and dry ingredients easily get into the vents because they are in front. No way to clean the vents. This has too many buttons and mechanisms to manipulate.
