We actually reviewed this hand mixer in October 2024 and loved the design.
“…as I began testing this hand mixer, it was the beaters itself that caught my attention…. The turbo beaters are designed without an inner post, meaning they work more efficiently at mixing without getting clogged up like traditional beaters. Plus, they’re dishwasher-safe, which is a non-negotiable when it comes to baking tools,” our writer Janet Guan shared, adding that she “fell in love with baking again” after testing them. Check out the full review if you want more details on what we thought.
Key features:
- Cordless design
- Rechargeable battery delivers 60 minutes of continuous run time
- 7 speed settings with soft start

When is Black Friday in 2024?
Black Friday is on November 29, with Cyber Monday following suit on December 2.
How long do Black Friday sales last?
Many retailers now extend their Black Friday sales by dropping early deals and extending offers past Cyber Monday, too. But keep in mind that the best Black Friday deals are often so good that products will sell out before the sales officially end, so it’s a good idea to shop what you really want first.
Your 3-step guide to navigating Black Friday sales
Shopping sales effectively – especially Black Friday – is not for the weak. That’s why being prepared early is a great idea. Below is your handy three-step guide to ensure you get the best sale deal this Black Friday.
Step one: curate your wishlist
Who doesn’t love a good wishlist? If you’ve been thinking of biting the bullet on your next air fryer, or perhaps you’re after some fresh linen sheets for the summer, write down the big-ticket items you’ve been eyeing up in one curated list.
Step two: do your research
It’s one thing to write down ‘robot vacuum‘ on your wishlist, but it’s another to write ‘Ecovacs Deebot T3 Pro’. In other words, this is part of the journey where you’ll want to research heavily to ensure there are no impulsive buys during oh-so-tempting sale seasons. Our hot tip? Read up on expertly-curated buyer’s guides – especially for small appliances – to ensure you’re well informed.
Lucky for you, you can find expert buying guides right here at Home Beautiful. From kitchens, bathrooms, to laundry and outdoor buys, you can be confident you’re buying the best of the best – no matter what you’re searching for.
HB’s HOT SHOPPING TIP:
Step three: find the best Black Friday deals
Once your wishlist is sorted, it’s crucial to know which brands or retailers are offering Black Friday deals. And if you’re excited about the savings to be had, you’re at the right place. Bookmark this page and visit often as we gear closer to November 29. We’ll be updating it with early and live Black Friday deals as they drop.
In the meantime, check where the items on your wishlist are being sold especially if there are multiple retailers. That way you can jump on the best deals, or if it sells out somewhere you can check for other Black Friday deals.
