Braun Multimix 2 Hand Mixer Black - beaters dough hooks accessory bag

Solid construction, plenty of torque, and it's relatively light and quiet. I read the reviews of cheaper appliances, and this seems to be very much worth the price premium. Read more

Loved everything about it starting with how smooth and quiet it is as well as light my old one was heavy so I'm loving this new hand mixer. Read more

My old Kitchenaid hand mixer has served me well for many years, but is nearly worn out. I had a Braun stand bread mixer years ago that I really liked, so I thought I'd try this new Braun hand mixer. This mixer is much more lightweight, and as you can tell from the photos, the beaters and dough mixers are longer, and the shafts are not as thick as my old ones were. Both kinds of beaters are keyed to specific slots in the mixer, and it is pretty easy to tell where each one goes - there is a matching shape around each opening. They snap in place nicely, and there's a push button release for them on the mixer. Be sure to use a deep bowl when mixing something that is initially thin. I tested these in a 5 cup measuring cup with only 2 cups of milk with pudding mix in it, and had lots of spatters well outside the bowl. A deeper container would have been better; I tried water in a narrower container, and it did contain most of the spatters (see photo). Spattering occurs with most hand mixers, but I think these taller beaters are likely to spatter more, especially when mixing smaller amounts of liquid. Batters will likely be less of a problem. The cord wrap bump out on the bottom really does keep the power cord from slipping off, should you choose to wrap it around the mixer. The base of the power cord only moves up or down, and I chose to not have sideways tension on it by wrapping the cord. The cord and protective sleeve at its base may handle that totally fine over time, but appears to me to be a more standard size and thickness rather than a heavy duty cord, and I want it to last. As far as mixing, the beaters worked well. They come with a canvas bag to store them in, which I found sturdy but stiff to open and close. I tried several times to see the "slow start technology" this mixer claims to have even on the box, but could never observe it. All the speeds just seemed to come on at full power. The instruction booklet is pretty basic and mainly has cautions, which include not running it on thick dough for more than 5 minutes at a time, and batters for more than 10 minutes at a time. The mixer is smooth, fairly quiet, and seems to have a lot of power from its 250 watt motor. I like that it has 5 speeds. It also says on the box that it has a 3-year warranty: you pay shipping there, and they pay shipping back to you. I'm hoping Braun's reputation for quality carries over into this mixer, and will update this as I use this mixer more. Read more

This is sturdy - powerful and not like the other ones I’ve had. It stands up and the beaters are tight in there place to operate. I’m very pleased with everything about it. My last “top of the line” mixer died when making icing. Really❗️The drive gear striped and into the trash it went. Read more

Poorly made. The left beater hole won’t accept the beater tool easily. When you push hard on it to get it to go in the hole you bend the cheepy wire beater. Then they crash into each other. I’ll give it 2 stars because the motor runs nice & there’s good variation in the speeds. The cord seems nice too! Read more

This is one of the best hand mixer and works great. Read more

It’s quieter and lighter than other brands I bought before . Read more

Accidentally ordered this mixer and missed that it is only 250W. NO Power. Cannot even Whip Cream. Read more
