Kenwood HM320 Hand Mixer (White)

Mixer - I had it for 2 and a half years. I like Kenwood hand mixers. I use it for mixing cakes and whipping cream up.

great kitchen gadget - hard to fault - Straightforward product, compact, solidly built and easy to use. There s a little button on the top to pop out the whisks. It s also reasonably quiet. When switched on, the whisks accelerate nicely, so you don t get goo shooting all over the place.It ticks all the boxes, and for that I give it 5 stars.

short life-span - I have had two of these - the first set of beaters broke within 18 months - I had made the mistake of putting them in the dishwasher. So I carefully handwashed the beaters on my second one but after about 18 months a crucial bit of plastic that holds the beater in place broke off. So, I don t think I ll be buying another Kenwood.

Poorly made - Arrived in undamaged packaging but had a bent beater making it unuseable. Also,the beater release button required superhuman force to make it work.Disapointing. I will buy a different brand as replacement.

Good, but... - Good mixer, as was said before - it whisks and beats, nice and powerful.But compared to my old one (unknown german brand Privileg, bought for just 10 EURO) it s 1. A bit heavy and not very comfortable to hold.2. Whiskers are also quite bulky and heavy.3. Has only 3 speeds (old one had 6) and the speed switcher was quite tough at the beginning, as well as the beaters rejection button.Resume:Good powerful mixer with some minor flaws. Wouldn t buy it for normal price £18, but there was a special offer from Amazon, so bought this for just £9.
