Hamilton Beach 4-QT Electric Stand Mixer with Tilt Head
hamilton Beach/Proctor Silex
An engineer's review: It's mixed (pun intended). Decent mixer with poor ergonomics.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021
This is my second mixer. Although decent, it's slightly hindered by poor controls and layout.I bought this mixer on a pre-Christmas sale for $129. For that price, it's great.But price aside, there are a few design issues that makes this mixer not as good as my 15 yr old Kitchenaid.Poor ergonomic head latch/release mechanism:-------------------------------------------------------See my first picture. Raising and lowering the mixing head requires two hands on the Cuisinart, whereas on the Kitchenaid, this can be done with just one hand. On the Cuisinart, the release latch is poorly located way at the back of the unit. It's harder to reach. Furthermore, the latch is spring loaded which mandates two-handed operation. It requires one hand reaching way back and depressing the locking lever against a spring, and SIMULTANEOUSLY, requires a second hand at the front to raise or lower the head. This is really inconvenient because when I'm working with the mixer, my hands are often covered with flour, oil, sticky syrup, or dough. With the Kitchenaid, the latching mechanism is on the side. It' much closer to the user, and it's also not spring loaded. So with one hand, I can release the head on the Kitchenaid, and then with the same hand, tilt the head up (or down). It can be a 2-step process but it requires only one hand. Again, this is immensely useful when one hand is clean and the other hand has been in batter.There is a safety argument in favor of the Cuisinart however: it is not possible to accidentally have the head down and unlocked, and it's not possible to have the head up and accidentally bump it such that it falls down. (both these scenarios are possible with the Kitchenaid, with the unlocked head in the down position being a rather common and benign occurrence with me.) However, the rear location of the locking mechanism is inconvenient and probably a deal breaker for ADA (wheelchair) usage.The speed control knob is poor:------------------------------From an ergonomics perspective, I generally recommend knobs over sliders for variable controls. For example, light dimmers, volume controls, fan speed, etc. In the case of these mixers, I have found that it's the opposite: A lever is better than a knob. On the Kitchenaid, the speed control is a lever and it's sensibly placed so that the slider is front<->back, making it relatively easy to operate. I can effectively change the speed of the mixer on the Kitchenaid with my left PALM or WRIST when my hands are dirty. Also, because I'm right handed, I tend to get my left hand dirty more often while cooking so I do tend to operate the lever with whatever clean part of my hand I can find. For some people this is a non-issue. They don't mind getting dough/grease/syrup etc on the mixer because they know they will clean it up afterwards, but it does cause contamination or unintended mixing of trace ingredients for people that don't mind getting their mixer dirty while cooking.On the Cuisinart, the speed control is a knob. It requires 2-3 FINGERS to grip the knob to turn it. Again, the problem here is that sometimes both hands get a little messy when cooking, and having to wipe dry or wipe clean fingers before I can change the mixer speed is a hassle.BTW, controls at the front or top of the mixer would have been better placed. I would guess this should be trivial to do with today's low cost electronics, but would require a design change.Other complaints:---------------------The head on the Cuisinart is longer and moves (deflects) more. i.e. in technical terms, we say it has a longer moment-arm. In lay terms, it means it sticks out further and thus has more movement when mixing. This would be expected if the mixing bowl was larger on the Cuisinart, but it is not. Both mixing bowls are the same diameter. So the Kitchenaid is better designed in this area.The Cuisinart is lighter overall so might vibrate a bit more. The heavier Kitchenaid is slightly more stable when mixing. (However, the motor on my new Cuisinart mixer is quieter than the motor on my 15 year old Kitchenaid.)The Good:------------The front of the unit looks better on the Cuisinart. The Battlestar Galactica Centurion cyclops looking magnetic cover that sits in front of the attachment connection is cleaner on the Cuisinart than the Kitchenaid's protruding cylinder. However, this magnetic cover, while it does look better to me, it's very easy to bump and knock off, and have it fall into the batter. The holding mechanism (a magnet) is not very secure.My Cuisinart attachments work on the Kitchenaid and my Kitchenaid attachments work my Cuisinart. They seem interchangable in both directions as far as I can tell.The higher power 600W motor on the Cuisinart makes a difference. I have a grain mill mixer attachment. It uses quite a bit of power to grind grains into flour. On the Kitchenaid, 300W is not enough. The Cuisinart's 600W motor is noticeably more powerful for this.The splash guard for the Cuisinart is better (more effective at preventing splash-out than the one that came with my Kitchenaid.So my feeling are mixed (pun intended) between these two mixers. If I were to just have one due to space constraints, I'd spend more money to get a higher powered Kitchenaid. It's just nicer to use from day-to-day.But having two mixers is handy, especially when making pasta. I can put the dough sheeter attachment on one mixer and the pasta cutter on the other one. I can quickly sheet, then cut the dough into pasta. It greatly improves workflow.For people that have the space, for $130, getting a second mixer was well worth it.

I've always wanted a stand mixer, but they're so expensive - until I found this one! I just got it yesterday so I've only made whipped cream with it which was fast and easy! I used the splash guard because I didn't know if it would splatter, but the bowl is deep enough and so I didn't need it. The color is called Frosted Blue and it's a beautiful shade of powder blue - exactly what I was looking for and looks great in my kitchen. It has 12 speeds which is great and a speed guide around the speed dial which is very handy for a beginner like me! And it's nice and heavy so the mixer stays put on the highest speed. I can't wait to use it more! I did get the three-year protection plan just in case.
