black & decker mixer

Black & Decker MX217 PowerPro 250-Watt 6-Speed Handheld Mixer with Storage Case, Blacki received this today and it is the only product i have ever ordered from Amazon, that i am unhappy with. It has nice attachements and the mixer seems to be powerful. But i did not notice the small warning on the bottom of the box: cord contains lead, wash hands. i would not have noticed it, if i had not seen the review from someone else. I think, this will be my last Black & Decker purchase.

Update (2/5/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Black & Decker Hand Mixer
I have had this mixer for about a year now, it is not my primary mixer but I wanted to get a mixer that I could use for “small” things instead of dragging out my stand mixer all of the time. It has a powerful little motor in it and can stand up to making several batches of thick butter cream icing. It comes with three attachment sets the beaters, dough hooks and whisk. They all work pretty well; I wouldn’t use a hand mixer to make breads though. I even used this to make several cakes (10 when my stand mixer died) in a single day and it never overheated and kept trucking through with no problems. Most hand mixers would not have made it through all of those cakes and icings. I also love that it has its own case which makes storage easier and it looks nicer. I cook and bake ALOT and would recommend this to anyone who wants an inexpensive mixer.

For $10 More you can get much better
Cheap? Yes. Powerful? Enough. Quite? No. Easy to Use? Not. Durable? No. Only two out of five. It is a hassle to install the beaters… and worse is that they are held in place (somewhat) by a inner plastic ring. One of the beaters came out during use and it stripped the inner plastic ring; now it will not latch in place. You can get a durable Cuininart HM-50 for the same price (no brainer) or the Consumer Reports recommend KitchenAid Power 5 for about $10 more Do yourself a favor and look around. Not recommended
