Question: how big is the bowl?
Document: I just bought this mixer from Amazon. Truthfully, the mixer is pretty average. Makes dough well enough which is the acid test. For buttercream icing I had to scrape the bowl a couple of times but otherwise consistency was good. Only complaint I have is the rebate from Hamilton Beach was misleading since it is available if you buy more than one product.
KitchenAid's cheapest mixer is $170 but I don't know how well it will operate. There is also Kenwood but it is not widely available in USA. However, that seems to have the best reviews from people I know. Hope this helps anyone looking for a stand mixer.
Answer: The bowl is a 4.5 quart stainless steel bowl with a handle. The bowl also has a removable splatter protector cover that is made of see through plastic.
