I was a little skeptical buying a non-KitchenAid mixer, since they seem to be the mixer that every chef has. However, I really liked the look of this one, and it's less expensive, and it has a 3-year warranty as opposed to a 1-year, so I took my chances. Unlike the reviewer before me, I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of the box. It was slightly bigger than I expected (bulkier than our KitchenAid Artisan), but it can still fit under the cabinets even when the head is lifted, and the finish is beautiful. It looks like brushed metal, but it has a glossy coat to make it smooth. The mixer seems very well-made. I had received a KitchenAid commercial style mixer previously as a gift and returned it, because the quality seemed really poor (the finish had numerous scratches and unfinished areas of metal) and it was really big and loud. I was amazed at how quiet the Hamilton Beach mixer was. It's quieter than our Artisan mixer - you can barely hear it at all when it's on lower speeds. I made a batch of cookies and it mixed up fine. I didn't have to scrape the sides any more than with the KitchenAid. One complaint I have is that the bowl feels pretty cheap and doesn't lock as securely as the KitchenAid, and I don't know if any other bowl will fit in it. I've only used the beater attachment so far, but I'm impressed with it. The white coating on it feels really nice and smooth - I was expecting plastic from the picture, but it's actually sturdy metal covered with some kind of glossy enamel. I'm still getting used to the quick-release button in the back as opposed to the lock on the side of the KitchenAid, but I think once I get used to it, it will make things quicker and easier. I was worried I'd regret going with a company I wasn't too familiar with instead of KitchenAid, but I don't regret it at all. It's gorgeous!UPDATE:I've had this mixer for almost 4 years now, and it still works as well as it did when I first got it. However, now that I've used it more, the bowl really annoys me. It doesn't have a secure lock into the mixer. It's okay when the mixer is running, but every time I have to stop the mixer to scrape the sides, it wobbles around and comes loose from holding the handle. Also, the grip on the bowl is not ergonomic at all and definitely feels inferior to the KitchenAid bowls. Hamilton Beach does not offer a better replacement bowl, so what comes with the mixer is what you're stuck with (although they do offer replacement parts should anything break). I would probably spend the extra money on a KitchenAid mixer next time just to have more options, but at the time I got this, it was worth the savings.

*****UPDATE*******We've been using this several times a week for 4 and half years now and I still love it. The markings that indicate the speed along the side are long gone but also not very necessary. I would love to have this same mixer with a larger bowl. That being said, I'm very pleased with this. It's works consistently, cleans up easily, stores a way nicely. It still looks new and works as well as the day we bought it. All the beaters and plastic attachments look like new as well. I'd still recommend this without hesitation.*************Original Review*********************I originally intended to purchase the Kitchen Aid mixer. After reading the recent reviews of kitchen Aids product, I wasn't so sure about spending so much money on a questionable product. I have 2 daughters that are on special diets that require wheat-free products. I make almost everything from scratch and my little hand mixer was just not cutting it any more.I am so happy with this purchase. The breads I make are gluten free which makes them actually thicker and stickier than other breads. This mixer whips up a double sized batch with out any problems. I am often surprised that I don't have to scrape the sides! Putting the wet ingredients in first seems to do the trick. My time spent baking has been cut so much. I also like that my kids can help because of the bowl attachment. I no longer worry about their fingers getting caught in the beaters. Clean up is sooo easy I now use the mixer for small jobs like making a pudding or even salad dressing.I use this about 4 days a week so I love the 5 year warranty. It stays on my counter and I love that it fits well even with the head tilted up. Great product!! Worth every penny

I am very happy with this purchase. After reading the reviews on this mixer and the not so great reviews on the different models of Kitchen Aid mixers I decided to purchase the Hamilton Beach. I couldn't see paying more money for a Kitchen Aid. The motor on this mixer is quiet compared to my friend's new Kitchen Aid Artisan. Some may complain that the finish on the this mixer is uneven. It's because it's all done by hand and I think it gives the finish character. It's easy to clean too.Don't be afraid to purchase this mixer, you won't regret it.
