+ Looks OK - Works well - Lots of mixing attachments - various speed settings for the bowl and the whisks - we wash the bowl in the dish washer (not sure if you should but it hasn't stained as yet).

- Not that we have found as yet - putting on weight as a direct result of all the cakes

Anonymous verified purchaser , “not normally negative!”

+ It is straightforward to use and clean

- I find that the beaters don't reach the bottom of the bowl and don't mix smaller quantities (e.g. a three egg victoria sandwich mix) thoroughly or well. The separate bowl rotating motor and whisk motor seems ridiculous and impractical. My old mixer bowl was rotated by the beaters. which was much better. It also makes a horrible whineing noise which I find really grating

Karen , Shirebrook

+ Compact, neat, looks good. The hand mixer is very good when taken off the stand.

- The hand mixer is hard to remove from the stand. Doesn't do a good job of mixing ingredients, the whisks don't seem to go far enough into the bowl. Ingredients have to be finished mixing by hand as those on the bottom of the bowl get missed.

+ Bowl is easy to clean

- Anything light or powdery such as flour and sugar ends up all over the kitchen as the beaters don't knead properly. Also found when creaming butter with sugar that the beaters do not reach the bottom of the bowl so you end up with a mess on the bottom of the bowl and incorrect measurements for making cakes, etc. Terrible at crumble mix and not much good with cream either! All in all a really poor choice. Only chose it for my mum as she prefers this style of mixer - really disappointed.

MRS P, LEICESTERSHIRE , “a great chappati maker”

+ doesn't take too much storage space

- i found that when making dough, the machine does not collect all the flour to make the dough; you have to complete the kneading yourself and the mixer shakes an awful lot, worries me if the machine will shake itself to the floor!!

su, daventry , “ab born again baker”

+ Simple to use - does the job

- Bowl size slightly large for whisks - so if making an average cake with say 2-3 eggs, you need to hand hold the whisk until most of the ingredients have been added, then it can be returned to the mount and used with the bowl rotation

Carol, Hartlepool , “experienced family cook”

+ rotating bowl, alternative speeds.Smart look, large size bowl, off centre beaters to enable ingredient pour into bowl.

- Does not mix to the bottom of the bowl, need to use spatula while bowl is roating to enable full mixing of ingredients.
