Advantages: Mixes well
Disadvantages: plain

I love this mixer. I use it all the time. I just wish it were self cleaning. :-) It's light weight, the beaters are easy to insert. I don't have any extra attachments so I can't speak for the bread kneader. It's so easy to use that I let my kids turn it on for mixing. The glass bowls are very nice and sturdy. The swivle on the bottom moves over based on whether you're using the small bowl or the large bowl. This has a large number of settings letting ... Read review

My husband bought this little, Black & Decker MX300, for me only one week ago.

Disadvantages: none that I am aware of

What first drew me to this mixer in my local appliance store was its attractive, retro look. On closer inspection, this was not just cosmetic. This is a rugged and well built mixer. That puts it head and shoulders above the competition, no flimsy plastic components here. My biggest grievance with my ex mixer that cost me in excess of $350 was to drop the bowl and it shattered, with no replacement part option from the manufacturer. It comes with ... Read review

Disadvantages: none

...product with the solidarity that KitchenAid did. I owned this mixer and had it break on me. I don't know why, but it just stopped working. I went to their website and sent an email to their customer service department relating what had happened. I immediately got a response from them letting me know that they would be sending me a brand new mixer - even an upgraded model - within the next 7 days. It came just as promised and I adore it.
