Product Description
Amazon.com Review
When the hassle of bringing out heavy-duty mixers is unwarranted, reach for this peppy, cordless tool instead. Ideal for any kind of stirring or combining, the rechargeable mixer can effortlessly scramble eggs, mix cake batter, or blend healthy fruit shakes. The appliance head pivots and locks into place to easily transition from a right-angled hand mixer to the straight body customarily used for blending drinks. One end of the two-speed power button depresses to slowly stir while the other end clicks into place for whipping, beating, and mixing.
Ergonomically designed, the rubberized handle grips easily in one hand while its durable plastic body resists denting and scratching. A flat, level heel comfortably supports the tool between mixings. Constructed of metal and heavy-weight plastic, the three attachments include a standard beater, whisk, and drink mixer. A wall-mountable storage caddie houses the main blender body along with its three attachments while leaving room for the cord to be plugged in--store and recharge in parallel. When extended in drink-mixer mode without attachment, the tool measures 2-1/2 by 9 by 2-3/4 inches. Hand wash the motorized body with a warm, damp cloth; attachments are dishwasher-safe. This product includes a one-year limited warranty. -- Amy Arnold

Don't throw out your old hand mixer,
By
This review is from: Black & Decker GM200 Gizmo Mixer (Kitchen)
I was very excited by the notion of a handmixer that I could use without plugging it into the wall, and for some kitchen jobs the Gizmo does just fine. However, for others it is an utter failure. So, if you buy one, don't plan on throwing out your old mixer - this will have to supplement rather than replace what you've already got.
Pros: It's very small and easy to grip. The handle shifts easily from a long "stick" configuration (good for blending soups right in the pots, or blending icey drinks) to an L-shaped traditional mixer configuration. The three attachments include a whip for eggwhites or cream, which worked very well, particularly if you leave your eggwhites in a small measuring cup. Cons: There's only one beater. I didn't think that would matter until I tried to cream some butter for a cake and found myself chasing the stick of butter around the bowl with the one lonely beater, unsuccessfully - like trying to catch your kid's hamster when it gets loose. Two beaters trap the material and pulverize it, but one beater only chases it! The battery makes it seem underpowered (it doesn't seem to spin with the same vigor as my regular mixer). The mixer will NOT operate when attached to a wall outlet - so if your battery dies (which it will, because it does not last long), you can't solve the problem by plugging it in to the adaptor and starting up again (it will have to fully recharge). Finally, although the mixer comes with a handy unit that holds all three attachments, which they mean for you to attach to the wall, if your backsplash is tiled (as mine is), you won't be able to store it easily. I'm not sorry I have it - it was quite good at whipping cream or egg whites - but I had hoped for a more generally useful appliance. PS - No hamsters were harmed in the writing of this review.

mixed results,

Works fine, once you can get it pulled out of its holding case and remember to plug it back in when you put it back. Basic operation is a wall mounted holding unit, which the hand-held mixer fits into until you pull it out to use it, with slots below that to hold the attachments that you push into the mixer to do whatever it is you want to stir or mix or whisk. This is essentially a replacement from B&D of a unit they built 15-20 years ago, which had 4 inserts (this only has three, lacking the doodad that was shaped like a large rectangle on the shaft, which was excellent for mixing stuff). The earler unit (not this one) pulled right off the wall mount when you grabbed it, this one you can't easily pull it out until you learn to slip it out be pulling on the recharging cord. And, the earlier unit automatically recharged when you snapped it back in because it had copper connections in the wall-mounted base unit that made contact with copper connections in the mixer unit when you placed it back in the wall mount. In a step backwards, the new unit that I'm reviewing has a plug-in cord that you have to pull out of the mixer unit (it won't run with it in) when you pull it out of the wall mount to use it, and you have to plug the recharger back in, if you remember, when you place the mixer back in the wall mount. It works well when you get it out and get it running, but the design slipped from user-friendly to user-challenging.

This review is from: Black & Decker GM200 Gizmo Mixer (Kitchen)
I don't think deproved is a word, too bad.
The Gizmo is a replacement for B&D's Handy Mixer. Our Handy mixer died about two weeks ago, not bad after 10 years so I ordered a Gizmo. Old mixer had charging contacts in holder, new one was downgraded so you have to plug in the charger. New charging contact really cheapens the product. I found a wall wart that would charge the old one so it's going back on the wall. If I didn't have to destroy the plastic packaging to remove the unit, the Gizmo would be on the way back to Amazon right now. We were always happy with the way the Handy Mixer handles what we used it for and I wouldn't expect the Gizmo to be less useful, just not as convenient.
