- Is the Hamilton Beach 63386 good for bread dough?
- It can knead small batches of soft dough with the hook, but the 300-watt motor strains on stiff or large batches. For frequent bread baking, a more powerful mixer is a better fit.
- How does it compare with a KitchenAid stand mixer?
- It costs much less and offers a similar tilt-head layout, but it has less power, a plastic body and fewer optional attachments. KitchenAid models handle heavy dough better.
- What comes in the box?
- The mixer, one 4-quart stainless steel bowl, a dough hook, a flat beater, a whisk and a splash guard.
- Is the bowl dishwasher safe?
- The stainless steel bowl and most removable parts are dishwasher safe. Wipe the plastic body with a damp cloth.
- How many speeds does it have?
- Seven speeds plus a pulse function, with the lower speeds meant for dough and the higher ones for whipping.
- Is it good for a first stand mixer?
- Yes, if you mostly make cakes, cookies and frosting. It is simple to use and light enough to move, but not built for heavy daily kneading.
