A good stand mixer makes it easy to whip up all sorts of batters and dough, but they’re often a substantial investment, costing upward of $300. If you’re looking for something that won’t put such a dent in your wallet, the Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer is a highly rated option that costs just $120. But does it work?
This electric stand mixer has a 4-quart capacity, and it comes with all the accessories you’d expect, including paddle, whisk, and dough attachments – there’s even a bowl shield to keep ingredients from splashing out as you stir. Plus, the brand claims that the beater uses the same action as the beloved KitchenAid for more even hands-free mixing. It all sounds great, but we wanted to see if this budget-friendly option can really compete with more expensive appliances.
