Hamilton Beach 62680 MixMate Ultra 6-Speed Hand Mixer

 (6 customer reviews)

Had this mixer for a couple of years and it's a solid hand mixer. A few observations:

-- I love the ridges on the bottom of the mixer. It allows the mixer to stand by itself on the counter, over the bowl while you add other ingredients in. Very nice feature.

-- The low setting is pretty high in my opinion. Never had any problem with over working batter or anything like that. It's just that there may be a little splatter effect as you start up the mixer on low.

--The metal mixer part is very decent. Had for over two years and no rusting or chipping on them. Do have to say that the design of the mixers has thicker stuff getting sucked up into it sometimes. I have to scrap them out pretty frequently. But that may just be a flaw inherent in hand-mixer design anyway.

-- Motor is pretty strong. At most I would say a thick cookie batter. Pie crust dough, ok. Bread dough-- forget it!

A very good product by a well known manufacturer. A real pleasue to use and the varieble speeds just adds to its usefulness.

Good price and very good beater. The choice of speeds suits me fine. Have been very happy using it this past year.
