Russell Hobbs Food Collection Electric Hand Mixer with 6 Speeds, Easy release button, Fingertip speed control, Chrome beaters, Wrap around cord storage, 125W, 14451

Great product, works a charm and makes baking easy.

Really easy to use and clean. Compact and stores away nicely

A really good mixer ‘without any faff and unnecessary shiny bits’, and does what it says on the tin. Mixes really well, has 6 mixing speeds, removable mixer blades for dishwashing and is a very reasonable price. It is compact, easy to handle even for smaller hands and takes up little space in the draw/cupboard. I don’t know what else you need from a hand mixer, except someone else to do it for you maybe🤷🏼‍♂️.

Good quality, condition, and a great price. Perfect for my needs.

Handy little whisk to replace my whisk which has broken on my large food mixer. Very happy. IF any probs its that it has only the one speed which is quite fast. Does the job for me.

Don't waste your money. Started off with an easy job just creaming butter and sugar together as soon as it starts to combine it gets stuck to the blades and the motor slows down. It struggles so much to mix it starts to smell of burning as it can't turn the mixer blades round. Its actually completely unfit for purpose very disappointing.

Worth the price, works wonderfully well.

I have to admit, though I've not had it long, I'm a little worried about this little mixer. I used it to mix a cake batter and then beat the cream filling and, I have to be honest, it struggled with a sponge mix. It grew very hot to the touch and the blades were quickly overwhelmed. This would not be the hand-mixer if you were hoping to do much more than beat cream and eggs, to be honest - and that's a shame because it's otherwise a really useful gadget from a brand that usually impresses. The cord (only around 1m in length, so a little short, perhaps, if you're cooking with the kids) wraps around the base, but there's no fastening clip to hold it in place, so it does tend to unravel in the drawer. Not a huge deal at all - I just used an old twisty-tie to hold it in place and that works fine. The base itself sits nice and flatly on the countertop, and they've put the motor and heavy bits toward the bottom so that it doesn't over-balance and, therefore, isn't easily knocked over. The blades are a little short for my liking, leading to the blades being overwhelmed - even in a large mixing bowl, a 4-egg sponge was almost too much for the mixer to handle, and I was tempted to mix my cake up in two lots. The blades do pop out with a satisfying "ping", though be careful to hold them while you're pressing the button or they'll shoot across the room! Finally, it says 6-speed but I couldn't really notice a difference between the speeds at all. I remember the mixer I had years ago had 5 settings, the lowest of which was, really, just there to spin your blades clean before washing, while the highest was super-sonic. I have to be honest, setting 6 and setting 1 looked, sounded and felt exactly the same. For the money, it's a tidy, little mixer. But don't expect it to perform well and, judging by the heat generated, don't expect it to last for a terribly long time. It'll do you some whipped cream or meringues but I'm certain it wouldn't cope with a stiff batter.
