| A speed demon in racy red, this 300-watt hand mixer puts professional blending power into home-prepared batter and dough. Five speeds give this mixer the versatility to blend liquids on low, beat batter or icing on medium, and mix dough or mash potatoes on high. Three different attachments help mix ingredients to the desired consistency: a pair of beaters mixes cake batter or creams butter and sugar; two dough hooks knead thick, yeast-based dough thoroughly; and a wire balloon whisk whips cream or egg whites. The mixer's small body stores compactly between uses and is covered in a soft, rubberized coating that easily wipes off and that won't dent wood floors or chip tile counters if accidentally dropped. On the top of the comfortable, non-slip handle is a well-placed thumb-operated switch that sets the speed and an eject button that releases the attachments. The retractable tension cord pulls out slowly to the necessary length and then winds up again by rotating the end cap in a clockwise direction. Rubber grips provide a slip-proof handhold for winding. The beaters, dough hooks, and balloon whisk are all dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. This appliance is guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde |
