Miallegro 9090 MiTutto 550 Watt, Immersion Hand Blender, Professional-style Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great so far! I make Hot Pepper sauce every year and needed something with enough power to be able to grind up the pepper skins and make the sauce very smooth. Even my Cuisinart food processor has trouble with this task, plus it would leak hot sauce everywhere. Just got this and tried it on 2 different tasks. 1) I made a blended ice drink that was so thick it wouldn't pour! 2) I used it to grind some of my leftover pepper skins and vinegar. It worked very well but didn't grind up the seeds. Probably asking for too much there. Seems like it really has 550 watts.
I was nervous about buying a brand with no reviews, however I checked out their website and they have a 15 month warranty and their other products got good reviews. All the labels on it are in spanish with a small user guide in english. I compared it to the $100 Kitchenaid and I like this one better, especially at only $40. All the components seem well made and are stainless steel.

Bamix 391203 deluxe hand mixer in silver. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned my BAMIX hand blender for the past 12-years. It has never let me down and it truly is the most versatile kitchen device in my arsenal of cooking appliances. The machine works well between mixing & blending items on a hot stove, to crushing ice in in a single glass for making margaritas, all within seconds apart. The open ended design allows it to get at all the material you are chopping & mixing, and clean up is truly fast and easy. I've recently bought another hand mixer this year, because I misplaced my BAMIX hand blender. Anyway, what a disapointment to find that this major-named-brand of mixer, only has one blade, and it can't fit into a normal drinking glass. This past month I found my tried-n-true BAMIX hand blender, and was so grateful that I threw out the practically new hand mixer. Now that's true dedication to a product.
I have not seen anything close to the design of this hand blender on the market to this day that can replace this amazing machine. My only complaint is that I wish the price would come down. After all, it is one of the most expensive hand blenders on the market, but it is certainly the best.

Factory Reconditioned KitchenAid RRHM5WH 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mixer 6 months and 2 weeks ago. One of the beaters won't go in all the way - so I can only beat things with one beater. I tried to get it fixed under the warranty - because it is over 6 months - NO GOOD! But, I did buy it with my American Express credit card and they double the warranty!!! Long story short... American Express is giving me back my purchase price and you can be sure I won't buy this model. I am planning on purchasing a different model with Kitchen Aid because of their normally good quality products!! Hope I won't get burned again!
UPDATE! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!
KitchenAid made it good. They sent me another reconditioned hand mixer and it works perfectly!!! I will buy KitchenAid products from now on!!! Also, I tried to change my 1 star rating to a 5 star rating - but the system wouldn't let me - just know I give this product AND this company a 5 star rating!!! Thanks KitchenAid!!

Hamilton Beach 62695V Power Deluxe Hand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an addendum to my earlier review on this product, which is now "resting in peace" (more precisely, pieces).
I burned it out the other night while making a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (the dough for these is heavier than the tollhouse recipe I tested in my first review). A puff of white smoke was my only warning -- in fact, it wasn't really a warning, but the signal that my mixer would mix no more.
I opened the appliance to see if a fusible link had protected the motor. Alas, there was nothing like that, just light-gauge wires and springs that popped out. The motor died, and the motor is the heart of the mixer.
Still, I want to let my 4-star rating stand, with the warning that this mixer is really meant for lighter-duty use. It still represents a good value. Just be aware that if you're doing things like mixing heavy doughs, you'd really be better off with a small stand mixer.

Oster 2-Speed 250-Watt Hand Blenders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bottom line first: don't buy this piece of garbage. With far better choices on the market, such as the Cuisinart, the value equation just doesn't work out.
Another reviewer says that this works fine as long as you're not using it for ice. Well, I was trying to puree a soup made with fully cooked (soft) vegetables and chicken broth. What could possibly be easier than that? The shaft broke after a minute of use.
Even in this era of disposable "Made in China" stuff I couldn't believe it, so I read and reread the instructions to make sure it wasn't something I did wrong. In this case -- Oster, it's not me, it's you. After you look at the inside of this thing, it's easy to see why it broke. The shaft is so cheap and flimsy, it's a joke. Tiny gears made of the cheapest plastic drive the blade, they stand no chance of holding up.
I purchased a Cuisinart CSB-33BC Quick Prep Hand Blender after this thing disintegrated. The Cuisinart has been great so far. The materials are superior to the Oster. The nylon bottom can be used with confidence with any cookware. My primary use is to puree soups in the pot, rather than go through the messy process of transferring the hot liquid to my blender. So far, the same use that killed the Oster in a minute hasn't bothered the Cuisinart one bit.
Even if this Oster product works for some folks, why not buy a better product when the cost is the same? If you're not convinced, just go to a store where you can get your hands on this thing and the Cuisinart and a few other competitors. In comparison, the Oster looks like it should be an accessory for a kid's Easy Bake Oven set, not a serious tool for the kitchen.

KitchenAid 3-Speed Hand Mixer - KHM3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)KitchenAid is one of those manufacturers who just can't make a bad product, regardless of price. Even this, their least expensive hand mixer, says "quality" from the moment you pick it up, and affirms it when you switch it on.
A professional chef will tell you that if you can't get the job done with 3 speeds on your hand mixer, you probably shouldn't be in the kitchen. That's why you'll find this particular mixer in the homes of so many chefs. It's a no-nonsense tool for serious cooking.
At the business end of the KitchenAid 3 Speed Classic Hand Mixer KHM3, one finds a pair of unusual beaters, which KitchenAid calls "Turbo-Beater Accessories". Made from pure stainless steel, the beaters have rounded mixing surfaces instead of the usual knife-edge beaters commonly found on hand mixers. The mirrored "pinwheel" pitch of the beaters creates a mixing action similar to a balloon whisk in the hand of a trained chef with very little splashing and less likelihood of overbeating ingredients like egg whites and whipping cream. Having no center shafts, the beaters are immune to clogging when plowing through heavy cookie doughs and clean up easily in the kitchen sink or the dishwasher.
Hold up your mixing hand and pretend you're gripping a hand mixer. Now relax a bit and notice how your wrist wants to maintain a slight angle instead of being parallel to the floor. KitchenAid's engineers have taken this into account in the form of a slightly angled, fully ambidextrous grip. The thumb comes to rest on the oversized 3-speed control switch, with the beater-eject button just a short reach away. The KHM3's heavier-duty motor means a tad more heft than whimpier mixers, so the angled grip balances the weight more effectively than a straight one.
In operation, the mixer produces a sound that's more like a power tool than a kitchen appliance, though it's not so loud that you won't hear the phone ringing. The 3 speeds are easily up to every mixing task, beating egg whites to stiff peaks in under a minute at the high speed, and gently stirring together cornbread batter on low.
The cooling vents for the motor's fan are fore and aft, so the cook isn't blasted with warm air, nor will dry ingredients be blown out of the mixing bowl. The outer case has a smooth, rounded fit and finish with no creases, seams or decorative ribbing where food soils can hide.
KitchenAid backs all of their countertop appliances with a 1-year full replacement warranty, something you won't get with a much cheaper mixer.
Ultimately, the choice is simple. You can keep on spending $15 to $20 for one cheap hand mixer after another, or spend more and get a mixer that'll become a true friend for life in the kitchen.

KitchenAid KHM7TPK 7-Speed Ultra-Power Hand Mixer, Cook for the Cure Komen Foundation Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a breast cancer survivor, but I can't say the same for the half a dozen hand mixers I owned before this one. One of our holiday traditions is oatmeal cookies, which are an extraordinarily thick combination of oats, shortening, sugar and flour. It has been the demise of all of my previous mixers, some of just shorted out, one caught on fire.
THIS KitchenAid however, has the power and torque to make quick work of those cookies and so much more. The style of the mixing blades makes them very easy to clean. The digital operation is incredible, and I've only had to use about half the power the mixer has.
I've owned this mixer through several batches of many cookies and waited 2 years to write this review because I wanted to confidently say - this is the real SURVIVOR.

KitchenAid KHM5DH 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Prior to buying this hand mixer, I always seemed to end up cooking in qalley type kitchens, without the counter space or storage for a stand mixer. Plus I seemed to burn up the motors on any hand mixer I ever bought. I thought I simply asked unfair performance from hand mixers. About the time I burned up the motor in my third hand mixer I saw an ad in a cooking magazine for the then new to the market KitchenAid hand mixer.
So I went out and checked it out. Here are the reasons I bought this hand mixer: a) it was made by KitchenAid; b) it looked like it was easy to clean; c) When compared to the more expensive model with additional speeds, I thought the five speeds would meet my needs; d) It had a "nice feel" to it - it was light weight yet seemed substantial, and well built and well designed.
I have used this mixer ever since, I think it's been about four years (maybe longer), and it has always lived up to my expectations. The five speed model when I bought mine did not come with a dough hook attachment, so I cannot speak to its ability to handle yeast dough; however, it has unfailingly whipped and mixed every concoction I've put it in without any signs of strain. It is easy to clean with its seamless design, as the editorial points out. I enjoy using this mixer, and highly recommend this mixer as a very well designed basic, efficient, and reliable hand mixer.

Waring WHM100 Hand Mixer, 10 Speed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My old Sunbeam could no longer handle thick mixtures, so I purchased four new hand-mixers -- a couple Kitchenaids, Cuisinart, and something else (can't remember). Returned them all (mostly because the slowest speed was too fast). Purchased the Waring Pro WHM100 about a year ago, and I'm very pleased with it (AND it cost less than any of the other brands). It starts very slow on the lowest speed setting, so the mixture doesn't spray out of the bowl. The thin-wire beaters can handle even thick mixtures, and I like the styling and color. I did not think I'd care about the digital time indicator, but it's actually very nice to have. Much easier to watch that clock than to glance repeatedly at your wall clock to keep track of how much time you've been mixing (plus I've learned that I have been routinely underestimating the time I've been beating something). My only very insignificant quibble is that I think the mixer should lean back a little more when it's out of the bowl and resting on the counter, because a very heavy mixture tends to make it want to fall forward (so just keep it over the bowl).

Hamilton Beach 62650 6-Speed Classic Hand Mixer, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't own a stand mixer, and until just recently, I relied mostly on my housemate's hand mixer. However, due to the fast approaching holiday baking season, I decided to get a hand mixer of my own. I like the Hamilton Beach line of hand mixers since they are cheap, and, from my experience with my housemate's hand mixer, they can stand up well to light/medium mixing jobs (about 3 years so far). I especially like the snap-on case in which to store all the attachments. I had the opportunity to get one of the name brand Kitchen Aid / Cuisinart hand mixers earlier this year, but I had gotten so used to the practicality of the attached storage case that I passed on buying the name brand ones.
I prefer my housemate's hand mixer for the cord storage, since I can wrap the power cord around the hidden compartment at one end, whereas with this one, the cord is just stuffed into the snap-on storage case, along with all the beaters. I also dislike the "traditional beater" with the center post that this mixer comes with, but my housemate's comes with the "twisted wire" beater than doesn't have the center post down through the middle. Also, the snap-on storage case is harder to remove for this mixer compared to my housemate's. However, the case is gradually getting easier to put on and take off, so hopefully it will eventually reach a state where the case is easy on, easy off.
So far, my housemate and I have used either this mixer, or the Hamilton Beach 62676 Performance Plus mixer for: whipped cream, whipped egg whites, banana bread, muffins and other quick breads, cupcakes, boxed cake mixes, cakes from scratch, frosting, brownies, soft cookie doughs, etc. This mixer is definitely not for mixing bread doughs or stiffer cookie doughs. For many cookie doughs, you just need to fold in by hand ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts after mixing the base dough, so this hasn't really been a problem yet for me.
The main drawback with this hand mixer is that the front ventilation slashes on the mixer body can get lightly dusted or splashed with whatever you are mixing, but I've yet to see/use a hand mixer that doesn't suffer from this problem.
I recommend this mixer as a practical solution for light to medium mixing jobs, although I'd rate the Hamilton Beach 62676 Performance Plus mixer as slightly better, due to the wrap-around hidden cord compartment, and the fact that its main beaters do not have the center post down through the middle. For tougher jobs, though, more expensive hand mixers may be necessary, but so far, the Hamilton Beach 62650 6-Speed Classic Hand Mixer, Silver has done a good job of every mixing task I've thrown at it.

Bosch MSM6A60UC Mixxo Cordless Handheld Blender and Chopper, Black/White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When i went to use the Mixxo for the first time, I was not sure how I would like it. I have had hand mixers before and they never live up to their hype. I know BOSCH makes quality products so I decided to give this a try. The first thing I attempted to make with my new Mixxo was a smoothie. I read that the foot can crush ice, so I figured that it would be able to blend up frozen fruit. I used the blender jug attachment piece and added my ingredients, I then attached the foot and turned the Mixxo on. In order to activate the Mixxo you have to hold down two buttons and then release one, this is a safety feature, but it was a little bothersome at first because i was not familiar with the machine. After a few minutes I was able to get the hang of things and the smoothies turned out great. I even added extra ice at the end and the Mixxo was able to crush the ice with no problem. On my second attempt to use the Mixxo I used the food processor attachment. This was really neat. The base of the processor has suction cups which help keep it in place on the counter. I found it very simple to hook up because the hand piece hooks on the the top of the processor. I was also very pleased with how quiet it is. I was able to talk with other people in my kitchen when I was using the Mixxo. Additionally it fits perfectly on my counter and all of the pieces except the hand piece can go in the dishwasher. It was very easy to cleanup after I was done using it. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I would recommend this hand mixer to anyone. The Mixxo exceeded my expectations. Once again BOSCH has delivered. It would also make a great wedding present or house warming gift.
***Update***I've been using this as a mini food processor and potato masher a lot over the past 2 years! It's still strong and works well.
It chops onions (with no eye pain) and peppers evenly.
It easily granulates and mixes spices, rubs and breading mixes.
It can make smooth or chunky mashed potatoes in an instant.
I love this thing and will continue using it every day until it wears out.

Cordless for maximum flexibility in the kitchen, this handheld immersion blender works great for blending batters, pureeing soup, making milkshakes, and more. A 24-ounce blender jug with measuring marks and a secure-fitting lid comes included--great for blending and storing all in one container. The kitchen tool also provides a mixing container with a chopping blade. Simply detach the stainless-steel blender foot and attach the chopper for dicing onions and green peppers or mincing herbs. The unit not only delivers sufficient power for mixing and blending, it can also crush ice and supply constant power for up to 20 minutes. Even more, the cordless handheld immersion blender and chopper features a revolutionary design detail--it's the first in the world to be powered by Lithium ion batteries. Its lightweight and long-lasting re-chargeable lithium ion battery produces exceptional power, plus it remains relatively unaffected when left plugged in after a full charge, where other batteries often become compromised or weakened. Other highlights include an LED charge-level indicator, an ergonomic soft-touch handle, a two-button safety switch, an anti-splash blender-foot design, and a charging station. The blender foot, blender jug, and lid clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. The immersion handheld blender measures 2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 15-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

KitchenAid KHB300 Hand Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After tearing through 2 stick blenders in 6 years, I tried this one -- and let me tell you -- the KitchenAid takes the prize. The motor (the highest powered I found on the market) is tough enough for batters and heavy mixing, and still with the multiple speeds and whisk attachment, is light-handed enough for making fast work of whipping cream, and egg whites.
The chopper is worth the upgrade from the stick alone as it will do everything the old counter-top hogging food processors ever dreamed of doing, but with half the clean up time. It also makes it easy for chopping just enough for one or two servings without breaking out the heavy hardware.
Unless you use a mixer for tons of cookie dough or to knead bread (in which case you want the biggest and toughest counter-top kitchenAid stand mixer you can afford...) then this is the best I've seen. Stick this blender down into a bubbling hot soup pot full of veggies, beans and meat -- it will puree the whole pot into a smoothe and beautiful soup in a matter of 2-3 minutes.
A great product (and a great gift.)

KitchenAid KHM9PWH 9-Speed Professional Hand Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a decade, I've been using KitchenAid hand mixers to mix heavy dough, light batters, whip cream, make meringue, and mash potatoes. They are perfect for making cakes, cookies, fillings, pastries, and most baked goods. I've had 2 KitchenAid hand mixers, including this 9-speed, and both have run smoothly and powerfully enough for the stickiest cookie dough. The 9-speed weighs about 2 pounds, which feels heavy after 5 minutes of constant use, but never so much that it really bothered me. Unless you are making bread dough, mixing large quantities, or have a weak arm or arthritis, there is probably no need for a stand mixer. KitchenAid hand mixers will get the job done.
The KHM9PWH has 9 mixing speeds. The first three speeds are slow, or stirring, speeds. Speeds 4-6 could be called medium. 7-9 are fast to superfast. To run the mixer, you first flip on the power switch on the side. Then press "Run" with your thumb while holding the mixer. Two arrow buttons provide easy "speed up" and "slow down" control. The current speed is displayed digitally right above your thumb. The mixer gently comes to a halt, even from high speeds, when you press "Stop", just below the speed buttons. When running, the righthand (looking from above) beater spins normally, while the left beater makes a slight circular motion while spinning. If you're wondering about the difference between the 9-speed, 7-speed, and 5-speed models, using my previous, somewhat subjective, definitions: The 5-speed mixer has 1 slow speed, 3 medium speeds, and 1 fast speed. The 7-speed model has 2 slow speeds, 3 medium speeds, and 2 fast speeds. I find the additional slow speeds on the 9-speed mixer useful.
The mixer's surface is smooth for easy cleaning. All but the eject button are covered. The cord is also smooth and round so wipes off easily. The KHM9PWH comes with a single whisk attachment, which goes in the hole for the righthand beater. I've never found the whisk advantageous in whipping cream or meringue, but it might be beneficial in breaking up clumps in sauces. The whisk attachment is longer and wider than the beaters. It protrudes 7 inches when inserted in the mixer, instead of the beaters' 6 inches. The instruction book for the KHM9PWH is short but easy to understand, well-illustrated and contains 20 recipes, including suggestions for flavored whipped creams. The same instructions are provided in Spanish, but not the recipes.
I've been very pleased with my KitchenAid hand mixers, but they don't last as long as larger KitchenAid appliances. I've had the 9-speed for three years. Before that, I had a 7-speed model for 7 years. The motor never slowed down a bit. But I had to replace that mixer, because one of the beaters would no longer lock in place. I've always found that KitchenAid motors live up to their reputation, but other little things can go wrong.

KitchenAid Ultra Power 5-Speed Hand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Alright, i've had this hand mixer for two days now (did research for 3 weeks). I truly don't understand most of these poor reviews. I have already made a two layer cake with home made frosting using this product. I was able to basically kneed the frosting using the hand mixer with ease. I was probably using it for about 10 minutes and my arm felt fine during and after words. The product is very light weight, yet the motor is plenty efficient. Speed 5 is not very fast, but honestly, i probably wouldn't want it to go any faster. I hear some people having problems with speed 1 being the same as speed 5. Heres the thing, this product is smarter than a 1950's hand mixer. Instead of burning out the motor because your an idiot using speed 5 with cookie dough, it'll self protect and stay lower. The instruction manual clearly states which speed to use with which item you are baking. If you go above that, well then you should expect problems. Heres the difference between this, and my hand mixer from 1978. The 1978 hand mixer smells like burning rubber when on, the beaters are not turbo beaters, so they constantly clog (the turbo beaters are great). The 78 HM also is loud and the handle is extremely poorly placed. The kitchen aid hand mixer is much quieter (while not being silent of course), and the handle is specifically made to ease the stress on your arm and wrist.
Kitchenaid has gotten a few poor reviews on this product, but what you really have to realize, is how many thousands others have the product, use it weekly, and never have a problem. Kitchenaid is still the choice of pros, and 10, 15 years down the road, when you either have kids old enough to use one, or maybe you'll have grand kids, this little pup will still be beating away for you. I hope i was helpful to at least one person, in the long run, i think its the wiser choice.
other notes: If there is any confusion as to if the dough hooks and shake blender are included, yes they are. I havn't yet used them, but if you look them up, each are around 16-20 dollars a piece, and come free with this product. I've also heard the dough hooks are amazing. Baking bread will never be the same.

(More customer reviews)I own the Cuisinart Power Advantage 5-Speed Handheld Mixer since early April 2009 and I am quiet happy with it thus far. In all fairness, this is my second handheld mixer and my previous mixer (Proctor Silex 62535 Bowl Rest 5-Speed Mixer, White) was a very weak mixer, which simply did not have the power to mix any semi-thick dough. This Cuisinart mixer has significantly more power (220 Watts) and has little trouble mixing most dough, excluding bread dough of course. This mixer has an automatic feedback mechanism which was the main reason I decided to purchase it. Unlike most mixers which supply their motors with different electric powers at different settings, this mixer supplies electric power partially based on the mixing speeds. In other words, it will supply an extra burst of power to the motor when the mixing speed is slow, like mixing tough dough. It only does so temporarily to avoid over heating the motor. It has five speed settings, which is exactly what I want. For those who like additional speed settings, there is the Cuisinart HM-70 Power Advantage 7-Speed Hand Mixer, Stainless and White. Keep in mind, their top speeds are the same as they are both powered by a 220 Watts motor. In my opinion, the slow speed setting of this mixer is a bit too fast. Beside the power, the mixer has three other features which I like a lot. First, it can sit nicely on a mixing bowl (when the power is off). Second, the power cord can swing left or right to allow the unit to securely sit upright. I have uploaded two customer images to illustrate this. Third, the beaters are easy to clean. Finally, the beaters can be effortlessly ejected by using the level. Looking at the photo, you may think this mixer has a semi-dull black. In reality, it has a shiny glossy black, which I think, looks even better. For those who prefer white color there is the: Cuisinart HM-50 Power Advantage 5-Speed Hand Mixer, Stainless and White
In summary, this is a powerful and affordable handheld mixer (not powerful compared to stand mixers)
Update:
I do have one compliant. Years ago, customers were able to take their home appliances apart to fix them. Unfortunately, this mixer is not one of those. Cuisinart have sealed off the screw holes and prevented customers from opening up the mixer. My mixer was making some scratchy noises and I could tell it just needed some machine oil/lubrication. Instead of taking the unit apart and adding oil, I had no choice but to pour the oil from outside through the exhaust fan hole, hoping it will get to the place. It did somewhat, and now the noise has been minimized. However, it should have been more straightforward than this.
I still think this is a very nice mixer for its utility and affordable price, and I would still strongly recommend other potential buyers to consider it. However, it would have been nicer if the screw holes are not sealed.
*Update on late Nov 2009*: The mixer is still working fine -- bought it since April 2009. The scratchy metal noise has not come back for some time. By the way, I use this mixer about 3 times per month for cookies and pastries. I hope this illustrates how often this mixer is being used. I am very satisfied with the product thus far.
*Update on Jun 26, 2010*: Still working fine.

Thanks to its powerful 220-watt motor with automatic feedback, this convenient hand blender can take on almost any mixing task--from whipped cream to dense cookie dough. The unit shifts speeds with just one touch and offers five speed options. It also comes equipped with an exclusive swivel cord, which allows for either right- or left-handed use, as well as extra-long beaters that have no center posts, making cleanup a snap either by hand or in the dishwasher. Accessories include a spatula and an instruction/recipe book for getting started. Durably built and sporting a chrome-plated Cuisinart logo band, the hand mixer measures approximately 8 by 3-3/4 by 5-3/4 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart HM-70 Power Advantage 7-Speed Hand Mixer, Stainless and White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just bought this mixer after reviewing Amazon comments and other Web sites. Amazon users give the Cuisinart mixed reviews, but several other sites, such as Cooks.com give it very high marks -- equal to or better than the KitchenAid. It came down to this mixer or a KitchenAid. I decided to buy the Cuisinart, based on the 3-year warranty. One use tells me the mixer has the power I need. It feels and looks first rate, and the beaters do a great job. I agree with everything the first reviewer said in his excellent review, except I don't think the beater release is all that flimsy, unless you are trying to jam attachements in that aren't made for the unit. I'd be reluctant to use other brand dough hooks or attachments as he suggested. The ones I have from a previous mixer are not only larger on the tips (he filed those down) but are also a bit thicker on the shafts. I think you're asking for trouble if you try to force other units' attachments into this mixer. I rate it four stars because Cuisinart doesn't even make dough hooks for this model -- then again, I've never found dough hooks to be very useful on a hand mixer. Oh yeah, I got this baby at "Bad Breath and Beyond" for $49 after I used the 20% coupon. But mine is ALL CHROME top to bottom -- it looks and feels totally awesome! I'll try to upate this review after I've used the mixer a while longer.
ONE YEAR UPDATE:
The mixer continues to perform as expected. I mainly use it for cookie dough, cake mixes, and mashed potatoes. It slugs through them exactly as I'd want. The "soft" start is really a nice feature as it keeps things from flying all over the kitchen when the beaters start up. I think I saw the price had come down $10 at Bed Bath and Beyond, making the mixer an even better value.
