Oster FPST2574CRBW 6 Speed Hand Mixer with Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl

Great for High-Speed Mixing...
This is a nice mixer for the price. It has a sleek, modern look and the stainless steel bowl comes with a lid that fits easily and makes it ideal for storing both mixed food, as well as the mixer itself. The settings though don't offer a lot of control - even the lowest setting is quite high, and the high speed setting has an almost "turbo" quality to it! Using it for the first time with some instant pudding created a bit of a mess initially because I wasn't expecting the lowest setting to be quite so forceful! So, if a high-speed mixer is what you are looking for, look no further. But, other hand mixers seem to have more range as far as the settings go. Perhaps with age and use, the low speed will slow down, but for now, I will only be pulling this out when I want to use a high-speed mixer.

A fine mixer for today
When I left home at the age of 20 (this is decades ago now), my mother gifted me her ancient hand-mixer. And it seemed like I had that thing forever. It was virtually indestructible. Now, I no longer remember why I eventually replaced it, but in the years since, I've never had a hand-mixer like it. These days, things seem to be built with planned obsolescence in mind. I've gone through at least a half-dozen mixers in the years since. They're not built to last.

Still, there's always pleasure in acquiring a shiny, new tool for the kitchen, and the Oster FPST2574CRBW 6 Speed Hand Mixer with Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl has several nice features. Now, I haven't exactly been scouring the hand-mixer market, but I've never before owned one that comes with its own bowl. It's a really useful size (not too big and not too small), has its own lid (perfect for stashing leftover cookie dough in the fridge, etc.), and is ideal for storing the mixer in. It's nice and neat, no...

great mixer
This hand held mixer is the best I have owned. It is aerodynamic and lightweight, yet sturdy like a professional mix. This mixer is a great addition to any kitchen.
