HAMILTON BEACH 62695R Power Deluxe Hand Mixer - White

 (7 customer reviews)

After reading the positive ratings by [...] about this mixer, I got it for my wife. She (having used many hand mixers through the years) is beyond pleased, loves the easy-stow snap-on storage case for the various attachments, and has had none of the problems mentioned by the other reviewer. Its easy to hold, rests on the side of the bowl you are mixing in if you want to stop and do something else at the moment, without having to lay it down on the counter.

The beaters are not interchangeable between the 2 models. I called Housewares, and the customer service person I spoke with was very nice and seemed willing to help me. I did have to explain to her the difference between the 2 models, and I do see that they have not yet changed the prodict listing after several weeks. They do not carry the 62695R model. They just advertise it. Oy. I read another post for this company about a similar situation with a hair dryer ... posting one style and shipping another. Seems like bait and switch. I ultimately decided to keep the mixer and order an extra set of beaters from Hamilton Beach. It seemed easier than having to pay for return shipping to the company for THEIR mistake. I see they state that very clearly in their company description ... that all shipping...Read more
