Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Packing 220 watts and electronically programmed to deliver extra power when it's needed, this hand mixer is powerful enough to cut through butter straight from the refrigerator. A thumb control atop its comfortable handle offers five speeds for precise work. Its stainless-steel beaters are extra large for speedy mixing and better aeration of egg whites and whipped cream, and they don't have a center post so they're easy to clean. (They're dishwasher-safe, also.) The mixer carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

With 220 watts of power and super-sized stainless beaters this hand mixer can get through those challenging mixing jobs without grumbling, and we're talking double batches of chocolate chip cookie dough. The controls are easy to operate and are conveniently placed near the handle so you can move from low to high without letting go of the mixing bowl. Better yet, this is a hand mixer with a brain: an automatic feedback program provides extra power when the going gets tough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is this the same mixer???, January 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cuisinart HTM-5 SmartPower 5-Speed Electronic Hand Mixer, White (Kitchen)

How can this be the same mixer??? My experience with the Cuisinart HTM-5 SmartPower 5-Speed Electronic Hand Mixer was the EXACT OPPOSITE from the previous reviewer. While I appreciated many of the design features (swivel cord, open beaters, comfortable handle, easy beater release), I have abandoned its use. First, the slowest speed was much too fast to incorporate dry ingredients. I had to "pulse" it by quickly turning it on and off in order to keep flour from going everywhere. Honestly, I found little difference between the lowest and highest speeds. Second (and most annoying), even of the slowest speed it splattered EVERYWHERE. I could reduce the mess a bit by keeping the beaters perfectly vertical, but even then the bottom of the mixer would be covered with batter (along with the countertop). I tried to return the mixer, but I no longer had the box nor the receipt, so it just sits on my shelf. If anyone REALLY WANTS this piece of garbage, I'll make you a sweet deal!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Do not Recommend, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Cuisinart HTM-5 SmartPower 5-Speed Electronic Hand Mixer, White (Kitchen)

This mixer broke down in the middle of Christmas cookies - and it wasn't that old. I purchased it a few years ago. The poor durability of this mixer in a brand that should deliver a better product is unacceptable. My old GE hand mixer lasted 5 times as long as this one did, and cost a lot less. I wonder about the quality of the motor if it could burn out in such a relatively short time. I do agree with other reviewers that the low speed was too high; no major differences between speeds 1-3; they were all fairly highspeed.

It is really quiet- you can still carry on a conversation or have someone else talk on the phone. It mixes really well. Low speed isn't as low as I would like, but it works. It does splatter a little with REALLY liquid stuff, but it isn't bad at all. Nice handle, light, good heft, and nice beater heads. One bad thing- there isn't much frosting left on these beaters to lick off; they're too thin for that.
