Hamilton Beach
Mixers are undoubtedly one of the most versatile, handy kitchen tools you can have. They are also one of the most expensive. Hamilton Beach brings convenience to your kitchen for less.
Eclectrics
Your first thought when checking out this Hamilton Beach mixer may be that you’re not reading the price tag right. A die-cast metal mixer with 400 watt motor and 12 settings for well under $200? That’s right: Hamilton Beach’s mixer packs a lot of value into this 9×14 package. You will find features including a 2-piece pouring shield, flat beater, wire whisk, dough hook, and recipes. But how does this mixer measure up against pricier ones?
The Eclectrics provides enough power for a host of mixing jobs, from heavy wheat dough to light, airy egg whites. Users will appreciate the stable locking bowl and the quick release head for ease of use. Another innovative touch is the unique mixing heads, which orbit around the bowl while the beater rotates in the opposite direction. This provides incredible, professional results.
This Hamilton Beach mixer reviews very well with consumers, many of whom note that they like it as much or better than more expensive KitchenAids. Reviews demonstrate the quality of the construction, the ease of cleaning, and the all-around versatility of this mixer. The lower price certainly doesn’t hurt either. The Eclectrics is an excellent way to introduce electric mixers into your cooking and baking.
6 Speed Classic
The 6 Speed Classic is not a stand mixer, but rather a hand mixer. While this is less “high-tech” than other models within the Hamilton Beach family, it is eminently reliable and very effective. You can use it for recipes ranging from cookie dough and cake batter to meringue and Hollandaise sauce.
The Classic features 290 watts of peak power and a convenient QuickBurst button for easy, quick mixing. Another much-appreciated feature is the Bowl Rest, which allows you to rest the mixer on the edge of your bowl so you don’t drip batter or dough everywhere. It accommodates traditional beaters, wire beaters, and whisks, which are made of durable brushed stainless steel.
Add a snap-on storage case and you have yourself a very handy, unassuming but completely versatile, kitchen helper. It is not made to handle very heavy jobs, such as batch after batch of dense bread dough, but it is excellent for light to medium jobs. It is also a great alternative for those who are on a budget. Other stand mixers can cost hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. When that’s too much, you may find the Classic is just the right fit for you.
Power Deluxe
Hamilton Beach is all about versatility and affordability. Their Power Deluxe is certainly proof of that. This mixer has 225 watts of power, making it ideal for light to medium jobs, like the Classic, 6 speeds, and the QuickBurst button to blaze through even stiff cookie dough. It includes a useful 4 quart glass bowl, which can be shifted from side to side with a lever to ensure thorough mixing. But the Power Deluxe has one more trick up its sleeve.
This Hamilton Beach stand mixer is also a hand mixer. You can detach the power head, which increases its versatility and usefulness around the kitchen. Like the Classic, this has the convenient Bowl Rest feature to prevent dripping. The Power Deluxe comes with standard beaters, as well as a dough hook, which is ideal for breads.
This mixer costs a fraction of the price that other kitchen mixers sell for. It doesn’t have a lot of the bells and whistles that some pricier models have, but it does a great job and will deliver excellent results. As with other Hamilton Beach mixers, the Power Deluxe is an excellent way to get the benefits of a mixer without the outrageous price tag.
Investing in a Hamilton Beach mixer is a great idea for any chef or cooking enthusiasts. Affordable and versatile, you will find yourself turning to your Hamilton Beach time and time again.
