Review: Yes, it is small, though smaller useable capacity -
First, I do love this mixer. It’s just me & my husband, & as much
as I love the commercial-grade appliances, I do not need them.
This will work for pancakes, a box cake mix, mixing your own
dressing, & I’ve just made butter with it. Now, let me state some
things that could help you decide if this is the right size mixer
for you & yours! Yes, technically a 3.2 capacity, & that’s just
over 12 cups. I filled it with 12 cups water & it was *right* to
the brim of the bowl, so there is absolutely no way you will be
able to use 3.2 quarts of anything. I put 1qt (4cups) heavy cream
in there & it did a beautiful job with making the butter. From
that, I got about a pound of butter, & 2 cups fresh buttermilk
that I freeze & use for French toast, pancakes, or other baking.
There is zero chance I’d have been able to make a double batch,
or 8 cups of the aforementioned 12 cup capacity, without it
becoming a huge mess on the counter. So know that it is 3.2qt
capacity, but maybe about half that is useable capacity. I have
included photos & used a 1 cup glass measuring cup for reference.
Next, I have arthritis & the Kitchenaid mixers I have had in the
past would now be very, very difficult to move on my own. This
little honey has 4 strong suction cups that keep it securely in
place on the counter, it’s compact enough to leave in its own
spot, & when I do need to move it I can do it on my own & without
having to ask my husband. Finally, just a helpful hint. When I
took off the bowl a little buttermilk got on the area where the
bowl sits, & so I wiped it up. When I went back to do my normal
post-use wipe down I pushed it back & there was some buttermilk
on the counter. So when you clean it, take care to wipe the bowl
seat & underneath the unit itself. Overall, this is perfect for
my needs. If I baked like I did in my younger days, it wouldn’t
have worked at all. Update, I wanted to show the capacity & mess.
Again, not a complaint, just something to be aware of. The video
is when it actually turns to butter & goes everywhere. I don’t
use the spatter shield, I just drape a kitchen towel over it & it
helped. Next time I won’t be making a video & it will be less
mess. & this baby is cheaper & better than a butter churn I
bought on desertcart & returned because it arrived broken. You
will love this gem if you are prepared for the small size.
Review: Reliable and easy to use, company is the best - I bought
this mixer in March for fun and ended up creating a business with
it. This mixer is very reliable, easy to use, easier to clean,
has suction cups to keep it in place, a safety setting so it
doesn’t turn on unless locked, dishwasher safe, compact size, not
too loud… it covers all the bases for a mixer and gets your job
DONE! It has helped my little business blow up over the last five
weeks. The price is well worth it!! With that said, I was getting
overloaded with orders and my mixer started to lose juice. I had
13 batches of cookies one day and it overheated and shut down on
me. I let it cool off and it came right back up to finish these
batches, then I switched to my other mixer to let it rest. A week
ago, the mixer stopped spinning altogether. I was on the phone
with product support (from desertcart) for over an hour trying to
figure a way to get the mixer to start spinning again and after
talking to four agents the mixer was confirmed dead. Lemme go
ahead and reiterate that I started a BUSINESS with this thing,
DOZENS of orders every week along with icings and frostings, so I
was using this a lot over the last month. I took really good care
of it but I definitely used it more than your average baker. So I
fully understand why it stopped working as intended. A little
mixer like this was probably not meant to handle a load this big.
And for the price, I was not upset when it was time to get a new
one. I STILL RECOMMEND THIS MIXER!! Anyway this is where the
reliability really comes in. The manufacture immediately swept in
and sent a replacement for my mixer and it just arrived on my
doorstep!! I didn’t realize that it’s covered by a one year
warranty. And now I’m back on track to get started on May orders
and am so happy to not have to shell out a couple hundred for
another kitchen aid. If this happens again I would absolutely buy
another mixer from this company and if I ever get to the point of
having a brick and mortar company, I’d display this mixer in the
front window. And if I do baking classes with kiddos, THEY WOULD
USE THIS MIXER! I’ve recommended this product to several people
and would absolutely recommend it to you too. YOU WILL NOT BEAT
THIS PRICE!! Customer service from manufacture is top tier! And
I’m going to start baking right after this post. Happy mixing,
y’all!
