I love this Hamilton Beach hand mixer.  It has as much power as my stand mixer and has me putting my old hand mixer in the garbage.  I mixed up a batch of pumpkin muffins with it and had to keep the speed only as fast as 3.  The upper speeds were too fast and powerful for the recipe. ( I always had to set my old hand mixer at the highest speed.). I can’t wait to try it on egg whites!  I also like that the mixer sits easily on the bowl when not in use, made my cleanup so much faster.  The power cord is nice and long and never got in my way, and with the little storage case that comes with the mixer I don’t have to wrap the cord around it to store.  Just put the beaters and cord in the case and set the mixer on top and ever is neatly.  The mixer is light and easy to handle with one hand, whether you’re adjusting the speed, moving it around the bowl, or turning it on or off.
