5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stand Mixer, Who Needs Attachments!, December 9, 2003

My wife has been asking me to buy her a mixer for quite some time now, but I like to get good value for my money. When I saw this on Amazon, I jumped at it, as the price/power ratio was too great to pass up. As a guy, I'm all about the wattage baby. How much cement can I mix up in it. All kidding aside, this mixer has 400 HP, and their competitor only 250-325. Power means more cookie pushing torque!

Let's start with the action. The mixer moves smoothly through its motions and hits every spot in the bowl. The dual movements are great because every spot in the bowl gets touched evenly and you don't have to scrape up your knuckles trying to push the cookie dough back down onto the beaters.

The mixer is heavy and substantial. In my opinion, it's built heavier than the leading competitor, which is a good thing. You do not have to worry about it bouncing around on your counter at all. It's also a sexy looking machine. The curves are great, and I don't mind the fact that it doesn't have attachments at all. I looked through the list of Kitchenaid attachments, and aside from grating cheese, they don't do anything that I need.

If you're looking for a powerful alternative to the Kitchenaid mixers, you cannot go wrong with this mixer. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stand Mixer Part 2 ......., December 10, 2003

Let's just say I totally agree with the first reviewer of this product. I had been pricing Kitchen Aid stand mixers on Amazon for awhile, however I could never reconcile my desire for one, with the exorbitant price, even in the outlet or on sale, it still seemed too much, and for what, a name? Then I discovered the Hamiton Beach Ecclectrics line of stand mixers on Amazon and at last a viable alternative. The 5 available colors seem suitable to just about anyone's taste, whether you prefer a more traditonal color like white or gray, a modern neutral tone like ice and pineapple, or perhaps a bolder red color, which I opted for, myself. Like the first reviewer, I found this mixer gives you more watts for your money than it's competitor's model, 400 vs. 250, and comes with a 3 year No Hassle Replacement warranty, where as Kitchen Aid surprisingly only guarantees their craftmanship for a year. That should tell you a lot right there, that and the refurbished Kitchen Aid stand mixer section on Amazon. That being said, if you're in the market for a gorgeous,formidable, yet affordable, standmixer the Hamilton Beach 400-Watt Standmixer is by far your best choice.

Rather than buy the more expensive Kitchen Aid, I opted to buy this mixer because of the 400 watts power, the tilt back head, and the large bowl. Had I realized what a difference a fine quality tool can make in preparation tasks, it would have been in my kitchen years ago. A large Christmas pound cake recipe with fruit that last year took all my bowls to prepare and nearly killed my hand mixer was done in a jiffy with this mixer, and the kitchen was not declared a national distaster area this time. It also kneaded fondant, making mixing in the color tint and flavoring a 30 second job compared to the evenings I had spent previously preparing it by hand.
The tilt option makes changing the mixing tools much easier.
I highly recommend this reasonably priced mixer.
