Hamilton Beach Power Deluxe 62695 review highlights

In professional reviews, the Hamilton Beach 62695 doesn't score very well, with experts noting that the wire beaters noisily struck the sides of the bowl, the entire unit vibrated during use, and splatters flew up to testers' eye level. On the other hand, owners posting to consumer sites are full of praise for this hand mixer, which they say is reasonably priced, light, and comfortable to hold. There are some troubling reports of burn-out and motor failure, however. For about $10 more, the three-speed Cuisinart CHM-3 (*est. $30) is alternative hand mixer that receives high ratings from owners and an endorsement from Good Housekeeping.

The Hamilton Beach Power Deluxe Hand Mixer 62695 was included in professional tests at Cook's Illustrated. It has accumulated over 50 owner reviews at Amazon.com and Epinions, giving a good overall impression of its qualities and owner satisfaction.

The Hamilton Beach 62695 earned low scores in rigorous testing. It bogged down in thick dough and splattered cream. This mixer felt wobbly and back-heavy in testers' hands.
