Advantages: mixes small jobs well and is easy to use and store away
Disadvantages: can't handle heavy batters

This mixer is a descent mixer for the low price. It gets a little bogged down with heavy batters, but generally it muscles through most jobs. The scraper attachment never gets used because it really isn't as useful as it looks. It is easier to get out a spatula and scrape the side of the bowl as you go. It has plenty of speed settings and it is relatively easy to eject the beaters. It wipes clean easily with little messes. It's size is small enough ... Read review

Advantages: Numerous Attachments, burst of power feature
Disadvantages: None

...it in the Handy Dandy Oster 2534. This mixer has been everything i needed and more. For starters it is backed with 250 watts of power which has been more than enough for all my needs. Thats just the start though. It has a retractable power cord which i have found utterly convienent when im mixing in tight spaces sometimes and dont need the long cord getting into everything. So yes it mixed my cakes, and mashed potatoes, and cookie dough without issue, ...
...tough jobs with heavy mixing, it comes with a special Burst of Power feature which allows for an added boost of power at the selected speed simply at the push of a button. This helped me to get through those heavy mixings much easier. You know what though? Theres even more! This mixer came with attachments that have made it incredibly versatile. Include was a whisk attachment for those easier mixes, a drink mixer which has been awesome when my family ... Read review

Advantages: Works well
Disadvantages: none

I have other Sunbeam products--an iron, a breadmaker--and have been pleased with their performance. I read a lot of the reviews here on Amazon before ordering my mixer. I agree with what most people say about it. It was well worth the price. It is a nice handling mixer, has good balance, and doesn't feel cheap. It has plenty of power to do anything that I need it for. I don't think I've even used the highest setting yet. The biggest test for any ... Read review

Advantages: Heavy duty, great quality & mixes evenly
Disadvantages: need at least the next to the lowest power level & difficulty scraping the bowl

I love my KitchenAid stand mixer. It is extremely heavy duty and hold up with the stifest batters and mixes. It evenly mixes and even fits well in a corner on a counter. It is a tight fit to get your spatula in the bowl and scrape the sides of the bowl so I just tilt the motor back to get to the bowl. Also I would recommend getting one grade higher than the lowest as far as speed. The lowest mixer in the line does not qualify for all the KitchenAid ...
...any attachments you may later want to purchase. Also recommended is buying an extra bowl and the pour shield for added convenience. The bowl holds up real well through washing in the dishwasher and the beaters I clean by hand. Definetly a must have in any cooks kitchen. ... Read review

Advantages: Strength, Ease of cleaning, large capacity
Disadvantages: None

I purchased the Bosch universal mixer recently for making whole wheat bread, which is notoriously tough for a mixer. I have been very pleased so far. It has done the job admirably. I also recommend the cookie paddles for heavy, thick cookie dough....only make sure that you keep them out of the reach of your children, as one of mine has mysteriously vanished! I do love the fact that I can now make 5-6 loaves (depending on the pan) instead of just ...
...cutting my prep time in half! I am looking forward to experimenting further with it. It also whips up egg whites into a fluffy meringue without all of the work involved with a hand mixer, and comes apart for cleaning so that you don't have food particles getting stuck and turning green! ...
