So far I have used the whisk and the beaters, but not the sifter. The whisk seemed like it would be flimsy at first, but it works very well. What I really like are the beaters. As the description states, without the center post they really are easier to clean. Children may not care for these beaters because the batter does not cling to them very well, leaving very little to lick off. The other features I like are found on other newer mixers - the slow start up to prevent spatter and the timer. Addendum: I used the sifter for the first time. It works very well, is not at all messy and is fast! One thing I am a little concerned about is that the mixer motor started "groaning" when I was using it in very thick cookie dough. The dough was very difficult to mix with a spoon by hand, so it was probably more of a job for a stand mixer than a hand mixer in the first place. My rating of 5 stars stands! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Care'o'lynn (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Lectrix 0102 Mixersifter (5-Piece Set) (Kitchen) I'm so glad I bought this mixer. It has everything I wanted in a hand mixer and more. The batter slides right off the beaters-even mashed potatoes. It starts slow so there's little to no splattering. It has lots of power for a hand mixer. One of the nicest features is the digital timer. I now know if I've beat the batter 1 minute on low and then 2 minutes on high-the mixer is counting the seconds. The sifter is nice but I don't use that a lot since I forget to sift flour half the time. I do use the whisk a lot and it is very nice also. The only improvement I would make is the speed settings. You have to move up by small increments using and arrow button until you reach the speed you want. I don't really need twenty speeds and it would be faster to just pick a speed. But this is a pretty small thing so it still gets five stars from me. |
