This is a lovely little hand mixer. I had worried that perhaps the cordless design would make this feel quite heavy and clumpy, but it really doesn’t. The lack of cable allows this to be used anywhere, and be used at times when plug sockets are occupied, as well as removing the risk of draping electrical cables near a hob top for some jobs. The mixer comes with two whisk type beaters, a micro USB charging cable, and a mains plug, as well as the instruction manual and a nicely produced little recipe booklet. Everything came wrapped in tissue paper, or padded with card – not a hint of plastic in sight.
The mixer has two function buttons on the top: one to switch the power on/off, and one to change the speed. The speed level is indicated via an LED screen which displays the speed selected as a blue number. There is a lighted display at the top of the front panel on the mixer which gives an indication of the remaining charge level – useful as this doesn’t have the option to be used while it is charging, unlike the cordless hand blender I have from this brand which can be used while it is charging (as long as the charge has not completely depleted)
This is the second version of this Cuisinart hand mixer I have had. The first was faulty – there was an issue with the housing being slightly misaligned which meant that one of the beaters simply wouldn’t go in, but the replacement is fine, and I am very happy with it. However, apart from cordlessness this is a very basic mixer without extras that come as standard on far cheaper models.
