- How does it compare with the KitchenAid hand mixer?
- It offers more speeds (9 versus 5 on most KitchenAid hand mixers) and a smooth-start feature, but it is heavier. KitchenAid is the lighter, simpler pick for light whipping.
- Can it handle bread dough?
- It comes with dough hooks and can mix light yeast dough, but stiff bread dough is still a job for a stand mixer. Use the low speeds and don't overfill the bowl.
- What is in the box?
- The mixer, two beaters, two dough hooks, a whisk and a storage case.
- Is the smooth-start feature useful?
- Yes. It ramps the speed up gradually, which keeps flour and liquid from flying out when you start on a high setting.
- Is it good for whipping cream?
- It can whip cream, but the whisk and 9 speeds are more than that task needs. A lighter, simpler hand mixer would do.
- Does it have a cord?
- Yes, it is a corded hand mixer, so your reach is limited by the cord length.
