The Hamilton Beach Stand mixer was first introduced in 1925. The brand
has been popular over the years for producing an economical reliable line of
household appliances including the electric knife, blenders, toasters, hand
mixers, and juicers. They merged with Proctor-Silex in 1990 and kept both brand
names active.
The companies first stand mixer called the Model A
was manufactured in 1925. By 1934 they introduced a third generation model
called the Model C. Today Hamilton Beach has a number of models and colors to
choose from in their popular Electrics stand mixer line. You can purchase the
Electrics mixer in metallic (silver gray), licorice (black), carmine (red), or
sugar (white).
In some respects this product could be considered a light
weight in the kitchen stand mixer category. The motor is only 400 watts with the
competition such as Kitchenaid, Viking and Bosch featuring motors ranging from
700-1000 watts. On the other hand for an average home kitchen how big do you
need your mixer to be? The Hamilton Beach features a 4.5 quart sized bowl which
the motor is more than adequate to work with. The Electrics mixer will mix three
loaves of bread or a single batch of cookies without struggling. For the average
family of 3 or 4 this is more than sufficient.

The beaters mix in a two way (counter rotating) direction for thorough mixing of
ingredients.

needs.
The company has a surprisingly good warranty promising to replace
the mixer if it malfunctions in any way for a full three years.
Hamilton
Beach customers are very happy with their mixers. Product reviews rival their
larger mixer competitors.
All Electrics models come with a flat
beater for mixing, whisk for cream and liquids, and dough hook for breads and
thick batters.
In summary, if you are shopping around for a mixer that
is a notch or two above a featherweight like the usual hand mixers are and you
don’t want the monster mixer that can do 12 loaves of bread in a single batch
then the Hamilton beach stand mixer is just right. I don’t recommend
looking for a rebuilt or refurbished model in this product line as the retail
cost for a brand new one is low enough that it probably doesn’t make economic
sense to rebuild them. In fact, an internet search for rebuilt Hamilton beach
mixer did not yield any direct hits. The average retail price for new models
ranges from $100 to $220.
