major design flaws Newly purchased mixer is the worst I have ever owned!1) beaters are SHARP and easily inflict cuts2) beaters only fit one way and require good eyes and hands to attach3) beaters cause batter (even things like frosting) to "ride" up against mixer housing4) mixer will not rest on its base - tips over due to batter stuck inside beaters5) close to impossible to extract "stuck" batter from beaters - beater design does not facilitate use of a spatula or other utensil for scraping out batter or for cleaning6) "turbo" button is in poor location - very easy to inadvertently turn on Date published: 2019-05-17

Great but not durable I bought this hand mixer about a3 month ago and used it a few times on the weekends. I am very pleased with the result of what I made in my days off but it suddenly stopped working when I was mixing dough and never started again.I am very disappointed. Date published: 2019-05-15

"Helix" vs. "HELLIX" My husband purchased this for me to replace the B&D mixer I had, that one of the beaters came apart. I was excited because of years of satisfaction. However, there are several design flaws. 1) the "helix" beaters pull the mixture up, over the top of the beater. This is demonstrated in their own publicity photo with the turquoise mixer. The relate the extra surface space, but look at the beater itself...the cream has climbed up the beater and covered the hub where it attaches to the rod. If you are mixing a stiff batter, it will climb up the rod. 2) the beaters are to be placed in specific holes. If you have any issues with vision, it is hard to discern which beater goes in which hole. Needless to say, I am very disappointed and I WANT MY OLD MIXER BACK! Date published: 2019-05-14

Mixing-It-Up with my NEW #BlackAndDeckerHelixMixer So I received my new #BlackAndDecker #HelixPerformance Hand Mixer as a gift, recently, and decided to spend a few moments in the Black and Decker site today simply sharing with fellow consumers about my "experience" with B & D small appliances. I already own one of the BEST B & D hand mixers ever placed on the market, as my older model is currently about 25 years old, and I am ALSO inserting a quick snapshot I took of it (just to show it off a bit, lol). Nonetheless, I'm an avid food/recipe creator here in Birmingham, AL, and although my older "BlackandDecker #SpatulaSmart model is STILL in pristine working condition, I was ecstatic to receive this new model, the Helix Performance Hand Mixer, as a gift, with it's perfectly-designed attachments AND the nice "storage case" that is included! I was fascinated with the fantastic TURBO functionality, so, as soon as I opened it, I HAD to try it out on some breakfast crepes AND some ultra-fluffy omelets this leisurely Saturday morning. To say I was impressed is an understatement. My BlackandDecker Helix Performance hand mixer "whipped" it all up in a flash. An absolute DANDY o a little appliance. So the efficiency of the turbo feature is ABOVE expectations. I'm a full-on scratch cook who uses only the best and healthiest, whole ingredients in my own recipe creations, so I will definitely be putting my NEW, attractive-designed and mixer to THE TEST in my oh-so-SOUTHERN kitchy, for years to come. And what's NOT to love about the aesthetics and color choices of this model? Right? Be sure to have a gander at my older, Black and Decker, 25+ year-old, #SpatulaSmart model photo. included, that I wouldn't let go of for the world, lol. I thoroughly recommend this fun, new version of an old time kitchen necessity, and favorite, of ALL cooks!~ XO Date published: 2019-05-11

Love the beaters I love this mixer! The beaters are not your typical metal type beaters. They are nylon coated so no more scratching the glass bowls. It has 5 speeds and a turbo boost! Great for making brownies or cakes. The storage container just snaps onto the bottom of the mixer. It is very easy to store and put away until the next time.. Date published: 2019-05-01
