BLACK DECKER Hand Held Mixer MX610B 5-Speed

Works great. I prefer the plastic beaters. I used to have metal ones and they just rusted out. This one has lasted well and has good speed options. Read more

This is an awesome mixer and has a great price. I like the new design of the beaters. They really seem to mix a lot better than the old style. It seems to be well made and should last a while. My only complaint is that the storage piece that attaches to the bottom doesn’t attach very well. It’s pretty easy to knock it off. Over all, it’s a good product for the price. Highly recommend.

Works fine but is on the cheaper side. I just wanted something basic with storage as I have a tiny kitchen with a Kitchen Aid mixer. This works as intended as my quick mixer for simple things. The plastic container for storing pieces doesn’t really latch on but otherwise fits okay. The attachments are okay but do have short stems so batter does climb quickly. If you want something simple for mixing something easy quickly then this is perfect. If you are making bread or something a little thicker than it’ll work but you’ll have to watch and audit adjust as you go. Standard noise for a mixer. Read more

I needed a hand mixer for a second home. I had just gotten a new kitchenaid 6 speed at my primary home and love it, but was hoping I could be thrifty and save some money outfitting the second kitchen. Turns out that was a fail. I read all the reviews, negative and positive, and it seemed there was valid explanation for most of the negative outcomes people had. For example, some people said the batter rises up the wands when you try to mix anything. But I then read that this was because people had the wands in the wrong holes. Well, turns out that the batter does ride up the wands and you cannot reverse/change the placement as they have unique fittings for right and left. In addition, the speeds are terrible. The lowest speed is way too fast to begin mixing anything, even just to cream butter and sugar, and stuff goes flying everywhere, creating a mess. As you can imagine this is a complete disaster if you are mixing dry ingredients like flour. I made a batch of cookies and the low speed was much too fast and powerful for any step of that process. And with the dough climbing up the wands, instead of moving downward into the bowl, the actual mixing of the ingredients was terrible. I had to finish by hand. Clean up is also oddly time consuming. Typically one can just increase the speed and slowly move the wands up and out of the batter, and batter gently comes off the wands. But as these wands fill with dough, and it climbs up the stems, the wands become covered in dough/batter, mostly on the upper part. With my kitchenaid, the wands are covered with a silicone type of material and the batter just slides off, leaving very little to clean. With these wands, they are full of batter and I had to get out a butter knife and also use my fingers to slowly scrape them clean of batter. This machine is not quiet. I assumed the motor would be noisier than my kitchenaid, given the lower price, but thought the coating on the wands might dampen things in the bowl. Nope. The wands are actually a hard plastic that clangs against the bowl, almost as loud as metal wands. The electric cord is also oddly brittle feeling and I imagine depending upon how you store it, could wear and start to split. If you store it in the case, wrapping the cord to fit, it will be bent at an angle that is likely to yield to stress at some point. This was actually the death of my last mixer. But that cord was flexible and that one made it at least 20 years before splitting. I would gamble that the cord on the black and decker would yield much faster. If you want a mixer that mixes batter/dough down into the bowl, has a low enough speed to start the mixing process for everything from cakes to cookies to bread dough, has quiet and smooth operation, is easy to clean, will be easier than hand mixing and will be likely to last years, it is not this one. Buy something else. I recommend the kitchenaid 6 speed (or greater). Read more
