This mixer has no slow speeds. If all you want to do is beat egg whites and whipping cream, it's fine. But to mix wet and dry ingredients, you'll need another appliance. The slowest speed is so fast that stuff comes flying out of the bowl before it can be blended.

This is the 2nd B&D hand mixer for me & IT IS THE LAST!

The first mixer was my husbands before we got married, the mixer was in 'new' condition and had very little use........I used it from time-to-time for small jobs..it 'FROZE' up. It had lots of power but seemed to fall over when the beaters were on it causing it to turn on & almost broke my fingers, (this happened several times).

I purchased a 2nd mixer because of the power, but the same things happened- the mixer FROZE up, B&D refused to honor the warranty. Several times this mixer fell over, turned on & almost cut my fingers off.

I sincerely feel this mixer is a danger & I DO NOT recommend this mixer for safety reasons as well as performance reasons.

This is an adequate hand mixer, but definitely not heavy duty. It worked fine for eggs and light/liquid work, but burnt out on a cream cheese frosting.

Have used the mixer twice, washed the beaters twice, and the chrome plating is coming off. Will have to buy new beaters, and hope their plating is better.

I should have read these reviews before I bought this product. It is true that it has NO low speed, so if you are stuck with one (like I am) make sure whatever you are mixing is in a BIG bowl to contain the inevitable flying material. I'm tempted to open it up and see if I can put in a resistor!

Bought this on the cheap from KMart to satisfy my cookie craving. Cookies turned out great but the mixer stopped working after the dough started getting thick. Must have burned out. Has lots of power, almost too much, even at lowest setting. If all you need to do is blend light batters, liquids and egg whites this might suit your needs but I've decided to pony up a bit more cash and get a better brand. Even though B&D offered to replace it for $7.50 for S&H that's almost half the price I paid so it makes more sense to me just get a better mixer.

I bought this mixer for my son and daughter-in-law. They have the world's smallest apartment, so I thought this tiny mixer would be perfect. NOT! My daughter-in-law asked me today if I still have the receipt. I asked her why, and she said that the mixer mixes only at high speed, and that there was cake batter all over her kitchen! She had to try to put plastic wrap over the top of the bowl and make a hole in the middle for the mixer. Whoever is responsible at Black & Decker for this contraption, should be forced into using it themselves as punishment.

60 years after the invention of the hand-held mixer, I am in possession of a brand new one that cannot stand on it's own with the beaters attached. My mother's hand mixer back in the 70's could stand up, and so have several models since, but not this one. It is beyond stupid. Also, like others have said before, it has no low speed. Forget about creaming butter and sugar together, unless you were thinking that a butter and sugar speckled kitchen would be a great design idea. This appliance just made me curse at my awesome husband. It has to go.

I should have known. It was a present from my sister, who, much like this mixer, is a complete disaster.

My wife wanted a mixer to mix cake batter and make whipped cream...works like a charm (and be like the mixer that just burned out)

lack of a really low speed isn't a problem as I have another mixer for dough hooks (Hamilton-beach)

I bought this as a gift for my mother. I only paid $10 - and it is definitely worth it for the price. It worked well. I know other user's reviews says it spits things out when mixing, but in my own experience, most hand mixers do!
The only downfall - the eject button is somewhat hard to push - so for someone with arthritis or similar hand issues - this might not be a good gift.
Overall - I'm pleasantly pleased with this purchase for the price. I do recommend it for MOST people.
