Stand Mixer, Sincalong 8.5QT 660W 6 Speed Tilt Head Electric Mixer with Stainless Steel Bowl, Splash Guard, Dough Hook, Flat Beater, Whisk Dough Kneading Machine, Champagne…

I purchased this as a gift for my sister (we live together so I'll get to use it too), she loves to bake and has always wanted a mixer. She is the family cupcake maker and up until now mixed her cake batters by hand. While I was researching mixers I came across this one, after reading the features it had and the price I thought I would purchase it and give it a try. I was very impressed with the machine and how easy it was to use. years ago I owned a mixer so I am familiar with how they operate. Comparing my older model to this one, I'm in love with our new one for several different reasons that I will highlight below.Unpacking the mixer and setting it up on the counter was very easy, all the parts were there and all I had to do was pull the packaging away from it, wash it, and it was ready to use. I like the fact that the bottom of the stand has six very sturdy suction cups, the mixer sits on the counter and stays in one spot as the description claims. The suction cups hold it in place and not once, while testing out the higher speeds, did it move. The blade section tilts up for easy blade changes and to put the bowl in, speaking of the bowl, it locks into place quite nicely there is no wiggle room. When we used the mixer for the first time, of course we had to test out each speed function. Even at the highest speed the bowl stayed in place and didn't move.The bowl is a very large bowl, we mixed two boxes of brownie mixes for our first use and there was plenty of room for at least another 4 boxes. There is a splash guard that came with the mixer, but since my batter was at the bottom of the bowl and was a little thicker I didn't use the spatter guard on our first time, it sure will come in handy when she is mixing cake batter as that will be a little more runny.In all I'm very happy with our new purchase and see quite a bit of baking in our future. Happy baking to you as well.

Okay, fellows, here is my story.As usually, it's majesty Life brings her own details and this time - the pandemic and isolation. Being single and isolated we have no choice but to cook. The problem is that some meals require a lot of efforts and coincidentally these meals are my favorite and require tough dough: applause to ravioli, pirogi, chebureki and pelemeni:)Long story short, Q&AQ: Why did you choose this brand?A: The price, the power (660W) and return policy deliver a good value.Q: And does it have enough power?A: Yes, it does. I make hard dough, so hard so it does not stick anymore. This device is able to mix such a dough. Literally, this kind of dough is a bummer in many meals for me as it requires a lot of time and efforts, what a relief!Q: Is it well made?A: It is, but beware that the case is plastic!Q: Any troubles with it? Squeaks, cracks, rattling?A: Nope, seems like the frame is made very well, so the mixer does not bend, cracks or squeaks.Q: What's the heads are made of?A: Looks like aluminum allow, the bowls is made of stainless steel.Q: How fast is the fastest speed?A: It's hard to evaluate, but it is fast enough to mix eggs into a uniform massQ: Any flaws?A: Yes, it looks not attractive and quite bulky, so you don't want to keep it on your counter top.Q: Anything else?A: The 6 suction "legs" work very well and keep mixer rock solid still.Q: Would you buy it again?A: I would, the price is 3 times less, the power is amazing, the outfit... I don't keep it on the counter, so I don't care.Verdict: recommended! Stay healthy and cook delicious things during the Great Isolation! :)

I love this mixer. The casing is plastic. I’ve used it several times and I love how big the bowl is. I haven’t had it long enough to know if it will hold up fir a long time. This is replacing my kitchenaid professional 600 which the motor went out in and nobody local could repair it. I’ll check back in a few months to update this mixer’s durability.

UPDATE: After a solid 4-5 months of heavy weekly use, I'm still LOVING this mixer. It has shown no signs of wear. Still powering through large, thick batches of cookie dough and royal icing. It has definitely surprised me and was worth the money!I make roll-out cookies. LOTS of cookies. When I mix cookies, I spend hours mixing 24+ batches at a time. That's how many cookies I make. My go to mixer is a KitchenAid Artisan 5Q (for comparison). I bought this mixer because it is significantly larger than my KA, has more power than my KA, and was inexpensive.Unboxing/first impressions:This mixer is LIGHT. Almost everything about it is plastic. And not substantial plastic. The beater blade is so lightweight and cheap looking that I fear for it's lifespan. It feels as though it is plastic with a metal coating. The whisk also has a plastic component holding the pieces together. This scares me.I made my normal double batch of dough in my KA at the same time that I made a 3x batch of dough in the Sincalong. The Sincalong is LOUD. The KA mixed each step quicker and required no scraping. The Sincalong blade is close enough to the bottom, but has a HUGE gap between the blade and the sides of the bowl. The Sincalong batch required scraping during creaming and after adding liquids. It did NOT require scraping after adding dry ingredients, it came together beautifully.After adding in the dry ingredients, the Sincalong shook and wobbled a little, but the suction cups held it steady. With it being plastic, this didn't surprise me. It powered through my thick cookie dough with ease.After I finished with my 3x batch, I attempted a 4x batch. It worked! This is the limit though.Overall, I'm very happy with my first experience, though I do worry about longevity, particularly of the attachments. There is no information about buying replacements or extras. A beater blade for this machine would take it 5 stars.
