Our take on the Proctor Silex Easy 5-Speed Electric Hand Mixer with Bowl Rest Compact
The Proctor Silex Easy is a compact five-speed hand mixer aimed at everyday baking and cooking. It has a bowl rest that lets the beaters hang over the edge of the bowl so drips land back in the mix instead of on the counter. Five speeds give more control than the three-speed mixers common at the low end, though it is a light-duty tool without the power or attachments of a stand mixer. Owners of similar Proctor Silex mixers tend to call them simple and easy to store, and to note they are best for light batters, whipped cream and mashed potatoes rather than stiff doughs.
- Five speeds give finer control than basic three-speed mixers
- Bowl rest keeps beaters over the bowl and the counter cleaner
- Compact body stores easily in a drawer or cabinet
- Simple thumb controls, no learning curve
- Light enough to hold for a whole mixing job

Questions and answers
- Is this mixer strong enough for cookie dough?
- It handles soft doughs and batters, but stiff cookie or bread dough puts a lot of strain on a light hand mixer. For heavy dough, a stand mixer is the better tool.
- What does the bowl rest do?
- It lets the mixer rest on the rim of the bowl with the beaters hanging inside, so batter drips back into the bowl instead of onto the counter.
- How is it different from a three-speed mixer?
- The extra speeds give you finer control, which helps when you fold in flour at low speed or whip cream at high speed.
- Does it come with beaters?
- It ships with its mixing beaters. Check the box contents for any dough hooks or whisk attachments before buying if you need them.
- Can it replace a stand mixer?
- No. It is a compact hand mixer for light, everyday jobs. A stand mixer is stronger and leaves your hands free for heavy or long mixing.
