Dash Stand Mixer (Electric Mixer for Everyday Use): 6 Speed Stand Mixer with 3 Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, Dough Hooks & Mixer Beaters for Dressings, Frosting, Meringues & More - Aqua

Okay, so I DID end up returning this Mixer, but hear me out! It wasn't because it was a bad product, it was just a little too small for the HUGE batches of cookies I like to make for, like, the whole neighborhood. That said, this mixer is seriously ADORABLE and feels super well-made for the price.Here's what I LOVED about it:Compact & Cute: Seriously, it's tiny! Perfect if you have limited counter space. The bright color (I got the aqua) was a total bonus.Powerful Enough: It handled some pretty thick cookie dough (before I realized I needed a bigger bowl!) without struggling. All 6 speeds seemed to work well.Lightweight: Easy to move around, which is a big plus for me.Easy to Clean: The bowl and attachments are all dishwasher safe, which is a HUGE time-saver.The 3 Quart Bowl is Sturdy: I was genuinely surprised at how robust it felt, especially considering the price point. Stainless steel is always a win!Tilt-Head Design: Made it easy to add ingredients and scrape the bowl.Great Value: Honestly, for the price, you can't beat this little mixer.Ultimately, I needed something bigger, but if you're a casual baker making smaller batches of cookies, cakes, or frosting, this DASH mixer is an absolute winner. It's powerful, easy to use, and looks great on your countertop! I'd totally recommend it!

Shipping time and everything included:This mixer arrived in 5 days. It came with two dough mixer attachments and two whisk attachments and one stainless steel bowl.Looks:The color of the mixer which is why I bought it is beautiful. The chromish strip at the top and through makes it look good but also at the same time makes it looks like horrible quality.Attachments removal:The mixer has a big eject button at the top to remove the attachments with ease.Bend the top back:There is a button on the right of the device which you hold down to bend the top up as shown in the second stock pic.The speeds presets:There are 6 speeds on the top right where it seems most of the time that 4 itself is high enough. I have not once gotten into a situation where the attachments had stopped and/or jammed. They were always spinning when set to, no matter how sticky the substance.Bottom lever:There is also a lever at the bottom front of the mixer where you pull left and right moving the bottom enough to find the perfect rotation of the bowl. If the bowl for some reason does not spin you just move the lever around and it should work. It also helps when there is something that was not mixed at one side of the bowl. To move the lever you hold it down and slide to as far as you want to move the bowl. Then you stop pushing it down and slightly move it left and right until it locks into place. It's very easy and no explanation was required to be honest.Suction cups and wire length:The length of the wire is about three feet long. There are five suction cups at the bottom which as soon as put down, allow the mixer to be in place making it hard to accidentally knock down. This has been useful in many occasions.The bowl placement:When placing the bowl onto the mixer you simple put it on the black surface and simply spin the bowl to the left while holding the black surface in place. Though one problem I have noticed with this is how easily it removes. I feel that it might spin off when it is set on a high preset speed but I have not once actually experienced it. I have used it on high settings and stopped it to see if the bowl had come loose but it stayed rotated far to the left to be considered locked. It seems safe and doesn't seem like it will spin off but it looks, just by the eyes, like it is loose which just turns out to be how it looks. It's not actually loose.My thoughts:Personally I felt it is worth it for the price this mixer is at right now. The speed settings make it well worth it. The slider seems to work fine and the best part is that it isn't some cheap mixer that gets stuck when mixing some hard substance. Definitely worth it for its price.

I bought the aqua color Dash Stand Mixer and it was delivered 11-12-2022. Upon opening the box, the mixer was well packaged. Honestly, this looks and feels like it should go in a child's toy kitchen. It's plastic.I thought oh brother, did I waste my money or what.....but I decided to give it a go. I bought this to use instead of using my handheld blender. I recently started making my own butter from heavy cream and itneeds to mix for around 10-12 minutes or so before it turns.So I washed everything well and went to work. The mixing bowl is nice and a fair size. It anchors onto the platform by lining up the guides and turning the bowl clockwise. You can't feel it lock into place, or at least I can't, so I tested it to make sure it was locked in place. The mixer also has little suction cup do-dadsto hold it onto the counter. Plugged it in and let 'er rip. It's pretty noisy. Since I started with heavy cream I used the beaters, not the dough hooks. The speeds are marked 1-2-3-4-5-6, That's it. Not whip, blend, beat, cream, mix, etc. So you kinda have to guess. In the instruction booklet it says you should not run the mixer on a high speed for more than 10 minutes because you might overheat the motor. I though, oh great, I need to use a high speed to get the heavy cream to turn; but, I started out on a lower speed and worked up to setting 4. I noticed someone said their bowl doesn't turn by itself. Well folks, if you're beating eggs or something light, ofcourse it's not going to turn by itself! Once the heavy cream started to thicken up, that bowl went around on its own with no help from me. There's also a little gadget sticking out the front so you can adjust the bowl for the beaters to stay more centered, or off to the side. Anyway, after about 12 minutes, the heavy cream turned into butter and the motor did just fine. I think one needs to proceed with caution about just what to mix with this appliance; I read someone makes cheesecake. It's probably ok for that, muffins, cake batter, etc., thing that you would make with a hand blender. As for an actual dough, I won't do it. Light items only for this lovely colored plastic mixer made in China. Bought the extra warranty too just in case.

It's small but it's very cute and works well

It works but for small cakes and things, it is plastic, not very reliable.
