Breville Handy Mix Scraper BHM800BTR, Black Truffle

I recently used this new hand mixer to make Neapolitan pizza dough, and it did a great job combining and medium-mixing the dough. This mixer is both powerful and convenient, with a built-in light that’s surprisingly useful. The dough hooks handled the high-strength gluten dough with ease. I mixed about 600g of 00 flour, which seems to be the upper limit for this type of dough—anything larger might strain the motor.For smaller batches, it performs well, and if it can tackle pizza dough (which I consider one of the toughest jobs), it will have no trouble handling lighter tasks like cake batter, cookie dough, and mashed potatoes. The included storage container is a great bonus, keeping the attachments organized and the mixer protected while standing upright. Overall, this is a fantastic kitchen tool, well worth the investment for tougher mixing jobs. I made 3 pizzas with the mixer below.

Most probably the best hand mixer out there in both design and features. Even though it has a plastic housing it is a little heavier than most hand mixers, but this gives it a very solid built feeling to it. The beaters are very thick and strongly built, so are the dough hooks. The wire whisks are nice too. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. I took it out of the box and had no problem operating it without reading instructions. Unless you use the pause feature it always starts on the very low setting to avoid splashes. And low is truly low. The count up timer is nice. The pause feature is also nice. When using the pause feature and you start it back up it remembers the speed you were using and goes back to that speed as well as the counter resumes. The LED light is a nice feature and I like the fact that it only turns on when running the mixer and during pause. When you turn the mixer off the light goes out. With some appliances the light comes on when plugged in and stays on until you unplug it. The rotary push up speed dial works perfectly. You press it down to get the boost feature. Now to the boost feature: This is the only feature that could have been designed better. Pushing boost advances the mixer to the highest speed while pressing down on the dial no matter what speed you are using. For example if you are on low speed one, boost will advance it to speed nine. A better design would have been to just boost it one or two speeds ahead. If you are mixing dry ingredients on speed one and need a little more power, move it to speed two, not boost or you will get a big surprise. In my opinion boost is not even needed. Just dial it up. I have compared this mixer with two top brands that start with K and with C. This mixer is superior to both of them in both design, features and quality. I have used both of the other brands. If this mixer holds up it will be by far the best. Unfortunately to get all of these wonderful features a lot of electronics are used in mixers these days in all of the top of the line brands. If the electronics hold up in this mixer I hope to be using it for many years to come. It is not as simple as a mechanical on/off switch and speed dial anymore. The mixer is also pretty quiet for a mixer with this power. It has no sharp or high pitched whining sound. For power the mixer out there that is similar to this one is the C brand but not nearly as many helpful features. This mixer is expensive but if your need is for a powerful feature laden hand mixer and also an executive look, this is the one. Everything including the cord will pack away in the storage bin that the mixer attached to. This unit has a very heavy duty cord that swivels to the left and right of the mixer and locks in place. Even the plug is top of the line. It has a hole in the center for easy grasping. Make you think you are in Europe. I can recommend this mixer for all except for maybe an elderly individual with arthritis in their hands that may have trouble with the added weight. While not what I would call heavy it is definitely heavier than your average hand mixer.

Never had a mixer this nice. I have used the dough hooks and never thought I would, the whisks are GREAT TOo.Has a light and a timer. All these things I didnt think were important I love. It was expensive but it was recommended by some people that use this every day. Thought I would try it as I have gone through three mixers ( the super cheap ones 15.00 or around that price) in the past 10 years. Im counting on this one to hold up. Had it for a year now.

I thought long and hard about spending this much money for a hand mixer. But I tried get cheaper ones and both were lame. One budget one was reviewed as the best alternative to higher end mixers. I thought the beaters were going to fly off or break or both just when beating eggs. The next one was a very well known mixer brand, and one of their higher-end models. It was very sturdy but even with 7 speeds, just didn't get high enough.So, I gulped hard and bought this one.I'm glad I did. This Breville hand mixer is fabulous. It's strong, it has lots of power, but it also has nuance. If you don't want to spend the money on a stand mixer, or like me, you don't have the space, this is a great solution. It's so well built, and looks great. It moved through speeds seamlessly. It's handled everything I've put at it. The light is a great feature you never knew you needed.And tonight I whipped cream. It was so fast! I'm not kidding, it took about 30 seconds. You can whip cream nearly as fast as you can used canned cream. No excuse for using that any more! The results were beautiful. Light, creamy, perfect.So many great features, I can't list them all. If you like baking, spurge if you can and buy this! It makes baking feel both fun and luxurious.

Found I rarely use my KitchenAid mixer opting for hand held one. This Breville is EASY to use, easy to store! Love the plug base design, quick to unplug. Same for the beaters disconnect pull, works better than the push button on my old mixer. I like the dial to adjust speed and this mixer is not loud. It is taller than my cheap mixer, but I'll get used to that. Mixed up some banana cream cheese ribbon bread and it came together so smoothly. Wished I gotten this sooner, highly recommend!

Great mixer it’s powerful and easy to use. The beaters are coated and much easier for cleaning and less messy
