- Is the Breville BHM800SIL worth it over a cheap hand mixer?
- If you bake often and want fine speed control plus scraper beaters, the extra capability shows in batters and cookie dough. For occasional whisking, a basic mixer does the job.
- Can it knead bread dough?
- It ships with dough hooks and can handle small batches of yeast dough. Very stiff or large batches are better left to a stand mixer.
- How many speeds does it have?
- Nine, controlled by a dial, which gives more gradual steps than the three or five speeds on budget mixers.
- What comes in the box?
- The mixer, a pair of scraper beaters and dough hooks. Check the listing for the exact accessories included.
- Is it cordless?
- No. It is a corded hand mixer, so you need an outlet within reach and you hold it throughout mixing.
- How does it compare with a stand mixer?
- It is smaller to store and cheaper, but you hold it the whole time and it cannot match a stand mixer for large or stiff batches.
