Russell Hobbs MX3100RDR Retro Style Hand Mixer, 4 Speeds + Turbo Boost, Black

Really well made heavy not all plastic. Came with 3 types of beaters.

I am satisfied with this mixer. #1 + is it has an actual "slow" speed. It does not fling your batter/eggs all over the kitchen. The "turbo speed" is well done because you just have to hold down the "+" button for 1 or 2 seconds and "turbo speed" kicks in - and when you let go of the "+" button it returns to the speed you had it on so you don't have to run it thru all the speed settings to go back to where you were just before "turbo speed".The mechanism for locking in the tools is very good as there is a distinct click/lock when you insert the tools so you know they are secure and won't fly out when you turn the mixer on. The eject button works nicely also. The tools are metal and not plated plastic.I have not tried using the mixer with the dough hooks. I don't do much baking so I can't really comment on their ability to mix dough or the torque of the mixer in heavy dough but I can say it is a solid built mixer and you probably won't have any problem mixing dough.The "off/on", speed selector, and ejection buttons are located well so you don't accidentally press one in error while mixing. The electric cord is 60" (5 feet) long which is nice also.For the price it is a very good mixer. I originally wanted a counter top stand mixer but don't have the room for it on my counter tops. This fits nicely in a cabinet or drawer.Overall I am very pleased with this mixer.

The whisk is fine but the ones to make batter do not enter they dont fit in the holes

Just received this and have used it once (for quick bread batter). It is small, compact, stands on end over a bowl without once falling over, the beaters are of substantial weight and look like they will last very well, feels good in my hand (average size), and it's quiet. Oh, and it's a really cute deep cherry color.The only problem I had was inserting the beaters for the first time-If you are holding the mixer by the handle with the beaters facing away, the one with the metal collar goes in the right side, NOT the left. When you first turn the mixer on, nothing happens for a second (don't worry!) and then it starts slowly and increases speed-different concept from my old mixer, but you also don't have to worry about batter flying about.So, all in all, controls are a touch different since it's a British product (the company has been in business since 1952), but if you're smart enough to read a recipe, you'll figure it out in no time! Comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty, so I didn't buy the extended warranty- compared to a lot of products, it seems very substantial and well-made, and I will enjoy using it (hopefully for years to come).

Well, first of all the price was so low at a little under $14 that I wasn't sure what to expect at all. Then, I received the item and my "awesome deal" turned into a major disappointment when it turned on for a second and then never worked again. So, frustrated, I contacted the chat bot at Amazon about all this and was further frustrated, except that the NEXT DAY I had a new mixer at my door that worked amazingly well! I have no idea how I got the replacement so quickly but I am pretty impressed. All of this long story to say that it is an incredible value for an excellent mixer, but I can't guarantee that you won't get a dud and need a replacement. But if you do, it won't take long for a new one to arrive :) Blessings and Happy Baking!

Does its job. Looks nice.

I was hesitant when I first received my mixer. I admit I had to retrain where my hand goes on the handle. After using the Russell and Hobbs mixer for over a month now I can honestly say that I’m thrilled with it’s performance.I can whip a small bowl of whipping cream in less than a minute, it handles all the tasks that you use for portable mixer with ease. It has three speeds, the first slow enough to make additions to your mixing bowl without throwing flour all over the place. Third speed whip your cream and there is a turbo button for when you need the extra speed. After years of using a Black & Decker that was almost 30 years old I was not about to give up on speed and this portable mixer delivers.

It's a bit weak; it binds up on softened cream cheese. Settings could be faster.
