Cooking and taking care of my family is a full time job and having the right tools for that is essential. My hand mixer overheated and this meant that I needed to purchase a new one. I chose the Hamilton Beach Hand Mixer with Snap-On Case, because it looked like it had all of the features I was looking for and the handy snap on case that allows me to keep the beaters with the appliance. I wanted a mixer that was small and easy to store, but would still offer me power and features that will allow me to mix up batters and other foods with ease. The QuickBurst feature allows me to mix up even the stiffest of materials with extra power and speed. The different settings give me the ability to mix and to even whip egg whites to perfect peaks. I love the ease in which it works and the different features that it has to make this task even easier. Included are both a whisk and beaters to allow you to customize the usage of the mixer to your own needs. Everything fits neatly into the snap on case, too, which keeps me from having to search in drawers to find the pieces that I want and need to cook. It balances neatly on the bowl, which has not been the case with other mixers that I have purchased. This is a great feature that many people do not consider, but when you are trying to add other ingredients and have no where to put your mixer, it becomes more important that you thought. If you are looking for an easy to handle, feature filled hand mixer that will fit your budget, this one is it. Consider the Hamilton Beach Hand Mixer for your own needs.
