Hamilton Beach Classic 6-Speed Stand and Hand Mixer

This really didn’t work well as a stand mixer. It is mostly a hand mixer with a stand as opposed to true stand mixer. To reach the sides of the bowl you have to take it off the stand. Returned as it just didn’t work like needed it to.

Not heavy duty but great for every day recipes. Can use the mixer off the stand as well.

I used to have a regular corded Hamilton Beach mixer that lasted about fifteen years, until a family member got a wooden spoon caught between the spokes of one of the wands and blew the motor on it. I tried a different brand mixer, which was given to me as a gift, but it really paled in comparison to my old HB one.

Since I’d kept all my old HB mixer wands (hoping to use them in a new mixer), I decided to try this mixer out–it was too good a deal to pass up. The old HB wands all fit this mixer, which is great, because I had the dough hooks, the whiskers, and the regular beating wands, so it’s good to have extras for days I do a lot of baking.

The pros of this unit:

-It’s well made. Looks nice, is sturdy, and performs well.
-The bottom bowl rest is made to manually turn like a lazy susan.
-Once the detachable mixer is fitted onto the stand unit, it’s sturdy and easy to use.
-The bowl is nicely sized and made to last. It fits perfectly onto the bowl rest and doesn’t rock.
-It’s easy to clean
-my old HB mixer wands fit in this one.
– It doesn’t take up too much space in my cabinet. I also own a 6-quart professional Kitchen-aid mixer and It’s too large to fit into any of my cabinets, so I have to store it out on the counter. This one fits, fully operational, in an upper cabinet easily.

The cons:
-When using it without the stand (which I do often), it isn’t as stable sitting on it’s end on the counter. The bottom isn’t perfectly flat, so it rocks a bit and if you don’t put it down on the counter carefully, it will likely tip over.
-There are large horizontal vents on the front of the mixer where the motor turns the wands and it’s easy for flour and other dry ingredients to get into those struts when mixing stuff. (Since this isn’t the first appliance I’ve had with such an issue, I’ve learned to keep a can of compressed air in my kitchen drawer to blow such areas out after using the appliance.)

Hope this helps!

The Hamilton Beach 64650 stand mixer is a reliable and efficient kitchen appliance. It offers six speeds, a powerful 290-watt motor, and a stainless steel mixing bowl that can hold up to four quarts. The mixer is easy to use and comes with a variety of attachments, including a whisk, dough hook, and flat beater. It also features a tilt-head design for easy access to the bowl and attachments. However, the mixer can be quite loud when operating at higher speeds, and the included attachments may not be as durable as other brands. Overall, the Hamilton Beach 64650 is a decent choice for home bakers who need an affordable and versatile stand mixer.

Me gustó es hermoso, le falta un poco de fuerza cuando bates los ingredientes para pan, pero todo lo de más funciona bien.
