The Cuisinart HM-70 is a decent hand mixer to get at an affordable price.
Cuisinart HM-70 Power Advantage 7-Speed Hand Mixer
Slow Start Feature
This hand mixer starts slow - at speed 1 - when you turn it on, so it doesn’t splatter mixture and puff up the flour. This is an advantage over most powerful hand mixers!
Good Power for Hand Mixer
For a hand mixer, 220-watt is just right. I wouldn’t think of using this for any heavy job like kneading bread doughs, so I would respectfully object to another reviewer’s opinion that this mixer deserves less stars because it didn’t include dough hooks.
Hand mixers are not for doughs! Save that for the powerful stand mixers like KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus or KitchenAid Professional 600. Besides, won’t you feel tired holding a mixer all the time while it struggles with heavy dough? It’s like walking a wild hound, really.
The Cuisinart HM-70 is good enough for some light whipping tasks like cream, cookie batter, mash potatoes or whipping egg whites into stiff peaks.
Not Quite for Big Hands
The beater release trigger is not the usual button on top but a lever for the index finger. A reviewer claim that this is not a good position for big hands such as your husband’s because he might accidentally eject the beaters while helping you to mix dough!
Noise
Having 7 speeds to choose from, this hand mixer certainly becomes loud when you turn it to high speed. The cooling fan sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
Well, the Cuisinart HM-70 Power Advantage 7-Speed Hand Mixer is a nice hand mixer for right or left-handers with its swivel cord, the beaters are dishwasher safe, and it includes a spatula and 3-year warranty as well. If you don’t mind the noise, go ahead and get it.
