Amazon.com Product Description
From The Healthy Kitchen line developed by Dr. Andrew Weil, this powerful 240-watt handheld mixer can handle everything from whipped cream to dense cookie dough. A pair of beaters and a pair of dough hooks are included. For ultimate control over the task at hand, the unit provides a low/high switch and five speed settings for a total of 10 speeds all together. It also supplies a power-burst button, which can be used during a tough mixing job to increase the maximum power level of any speed. Just keep the button pressed down for the amount of time extra power is needed. For easy cleanup, an eject button removes the dishwasher-safe beaters or dough hooks, the power cord retracts automatically into the mixer with a push of the button, and the sleek body wipes clean in a snap with a damp cloth. Manufactured by Spring Switzerland, the handheld mixer measures 8-3/5 by 4-1/2 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. An instruction book comes included.

Customer Reviews

Great mixer for the price
I bought this product for about 50.00 and, compared with the equivalent mixer from cuisinart and kitchenaid it was anywhere from 10 to 50 dollars cheaper. I am pleased with it overall. It has 10 speeds and does the work I need it to do. My only complaint is that it will not stand up by itself when the beaters are attached but falls over. This is very inconvenient. Otherwise, so far it does a great job.

Very nice hand mixer
I am generally pretty pleased with this mixer. It does what it needs to for me (I use it mainly for mixing cookie dough and cake batters and other baked goods). I agree with the other reviewer that it doesn't stand up well on its own when the beaters are in, which is annoying. I like that there are so many speeds and it is quite powerful (which was important to me when deciding which hand mixer to go with), but I wish that with all of those speeds the first speed was a little LESS powerful. I often end up spraying my kitchen with flour or powdered sugar because even the lowest speed is very powerful. I love the retractable cord and the beaters because they have that square, sturdy shape which I strongly prefer over the `slender' teardrop shapped beaters which break on me too easily. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase.

Stainless steel colored plastic.
Purchased this hoping it was stainless steel. My 5 speed KitchenAid hand blender suddenly died after 6 years of use and was looking for a sturdy replacement that had more speeds. Took this out of the box and it seemed very lightweight and fragile in comparision to my old mixer. ON the plus side the cord does retract and it comes with dough hooks, with some KitchenAid hand mixers you mush purchase dough hooks separately.

I returned this item because I did not believe it would stand up to heavy use and a sometimes destructive toddler and two aspiring chefs (5 and 9).
