Russell Hobbs Food Collection Electric Hand Mixer with 6 Speeds, Easy release button, Fingertip speed control, Chrome beaters, Wrap around cord storage, 125W, 14451, White

I have had this for a number of years now. It does exactly what is needed and was good value for money for a no frills whisk. This is a pretty basic whisk (I did not need or expect anything more) so looks fine but nothing special. The whips get put in the dishwasher so clean really easily and the cord of the whisk is easily wrapped to neatly store. Very easy and logical to use and understand. Not too bulky to store.

Great blender, great value for money.

Performance wise the mixer is great what let's it down is the fact that when the blades are inserted the mixer fails to stand , it keeps falling forward onto the blades, another thing that would be helpful is a clip on the cable so that when you wind the cable around the mixer it clips in and stays put.

I absolutely love this only issue i have is the speed slider is just really sensitive and can slide really easy, i learnt that today making a cake mix 🤣 i got all stuff in bowl and went to turn it on n my thumb slipped and my kitchen ended up looking like an explosion of flour in there and on myself included lol, all in all its fantastic works amazing and makes baking/mixing super easy when you realise that you need to be gentle with it, nice and slow and not a bull in a china shop like me lol 🤣💕

Bought this item 11 months ago and have just thrown it away.The speed regulator has never worked properly it's either fast or off. The chrome on the wisk attachment started peeling off last week so it's gone in the bin. I wish I'd sent it back 10 months ago.

This appears well made and surprisingly solid for a small unit. Clearly not intended for continuous heavy use but meets our needs perfectly.Delivery was excellent and we feel the price was excellent value for money for a well known brand.

I have to admit, though I've not had it long, I'm a little worried about this little mixer.I used it to mix a cake batter and then beat the cream filling and, I have to be honest, it struggled with a sponge mix. It grew very hot to the touch and the blades were quickly overwhelmed. This would not be the hand-mixer if you were hoping to do much more than beat cream and eggs, to be honest - and that's a shame because it's otherwise a really useful gadget from a brand that usually impresses.The cord (only around 1m in length, so a little short, perhaps, if you're cooking with the kids) wraps around the base, but there's no fastening clip to hold it in place, so it does tend to unravel in the drawer. Not a huge deal at all - I just used an old twisty-tie to hold it in place and that works fine.The base itself sits nice and flatly on the countertop, and they've put the motor and heavy bits toward the bottom so that it doesn't over-balance and, therefore, isn't easily knocked over.The blades are a little short for my liking, leading to the blades being overwhelmed - even in a large mixing bowl, a 4-egg sponge was almost too much for the mixer to handle, and I was tempted to mix my cake up in two lots. The blades do pop out with a satisfying "ping", though be careful to hold them while you're pressing the button or they'll shoot across the room!Finally, it says 6-speed but I couldn't really notice a difference between the speeds at all. I remember the mixer I had years ago had 5 settings, the lowest of which was, really, just there to spin your blades clean before washing, while the highest was super-sonic. I have to be honest, setting 6 and setting 1 looked, sounded and felt exactly the same.For the money, it's a tidy, little mixer. But don't expect it to perform well and, judging by the heat generated, don't expect it to last for a terribly long time. It'll do you some whipped cream or meringues but I'm certain it wouldn't cope with a stiff batter.

UPDATE : I've had this mixer for a couple of years now and my bf managed to broke it so I've ordered the same one here and it's definitely worth the money and recommend especially for a heavy Baker like me."I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs Food Collection Electric Hand Mixer, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The six-speed settings provide versatility for various recipes, and the fingertip speed control allows for precise adjustments while mixing. The easy release button makes swapping beaters a breeze, and the chrome beaters themselves are durable and efficient. I appreciate the thoughtful design of the wrap-around cord storage, keeping my kitchen tidy. With its 125W power, this mixer handles everything from light batters to thick doughs with ease. Overall, I highly recommend this hand mixer for its performance, convenience, and value for money.
