 Planned obsolence.Nov 03, 2008
I had a kitchenaid mixer and was very happy with it, but then I lost one of the beaters, so my mother gifted me with this black and decker mixer. I was first disappointed with it because there is no true slow speed -- the lowest speed is so fast it'll beat the heck out of whipping cream or egg whites, but fails miserably for blending dry and wet ingredients, because it's so fast everything flies out of the bowl. Ridiculous. Makes me think that absolutely no realistic testing was done on it.
Then, after having used the mixer a couple of dozen times, problems appeared with the beaters -- first, they started falling apart, with the two wires becoming disconnected at the top. They still worked, but then I noticed the rust. Yes, rust. At both the base of the beater (where the wires connect to the pole) and at the top of the wires, where the wire has actually split. I'm not hard on my beaters and I even wash them by hand. I am pissed off at this glaringly obvious planned obsolesence and will never buy another black and decker appliance again.

Great hand mixer! Lightweight and more than capable of handling most jobs. Very rarely ever get out my big mixer. I would recommend this to everyone!

Unbalanced DisappointmentSep 25, 2008
I bought this beater because my last B&D worked like a charm for many years; but, this one is a big disappointment. What you can't see from this photo is that it is a difficult beater to hold. The controls are right over where you want to hold the beater so I find myself holding the beater over the controls. This is uncomfortable and unsturdy. It is heavily weighted to the front section of the blender so although the section for your hand is behind the controls, it feels unnatural to hold the beater at the lightest section of the beater. Notice how other beaters have the controls on the 45 degree -between the front of the blender and the top where the hand is placed-. This one has the controls right on top where the hand needs to go. The other gripe, those round beaters. I had to beat my potatoes into oblivion (and therefore they were really rubbery) before they were blended. I think my old flat bladed beaters were much quicker at beating. I am going to replace this beater with a flat bladed one.

TOO FAST - Everything goes flyingAug 25, 2008
I guess this is a "good" mixer but not for me. It starts out superfast and there is no slowing it down. Everthing goes flying all over the place. I use it mostly for mashed potatoes and the potatoes are all over the counter. I am looking to replace it with something that works better for me.

Cooksillustrated recomendedAug 04, 2008
I bought this since cooks illustrated had recommended this product, It works well I love the various attachments.If you don't own a hand blender (Immersion) get this otherwise think of buying an immersion blender with all the attachments . I cook for 2 people and think it prudent to save space.
