225-watt stand mixer; detaches for use as hand mixer 6 speeds with power-burst button for just the right amount of control Lever shifts bowl side-to-side for thorough mixing 4-quart glass bowl, traditional beaters, dough hooks Product Built to North American Electrical Standards Hamilton Beach 64695N Power Deluxe Hand/Stand Mixer This stand mixer has a detachable power head so it doubles as a hand mixer, providing flexibility in the kitchen. With 225 watts of power, the mixer handles all cooking chores, including the stiffest cookie dough. It has six speeds, and when the going gets tough there's a power-burst button. Accompanying the mixer is a 4-quart glass bowl. On the stand, the bowl can be shifted from side to side with a lever, ensuring thorough mixing and providing space for easily adding ingredients. As a hand mixer, the power head has a bowl-rest feature to prevent dripping on the counter. In addition to traditional beaters, the mixer comes with dough hooks. It measures 9 inches wide, 13-1/2 inches high, and 12-1/2 inches deep. --Fred Brack
I have to agree with the review "Awful". I recently got this as a gift. Since it came with dough hooks I used it to knead my bread dough. The mixer did a fine job for nearly 5 minutes. Then it started to struggle and smoke started coming out of it. It is nice to have an inexpensive stand mixer, but I wouldn't recommend using it for anything but cake batter. Throw away the dough hooks, they will only kill it.
