Dualit Professional Hand Mixer, 5-Speed, 88520
Dualit Professional Hand Mixer, 5-Speed, 88520
: Powerful 5-speed Dualit professional hand mixer has
rotational speeds of 540 to 1,200 rpm's that work
so fast, they can reduce blending time in half. Includes
5 attachments to perform virtually any mixing task: two
beaters are oversized to reach the outer parameter of a
mixing bowl and blend ingredients thoroughly; two dough
hooks whir through even the heaviest dough batters.
Balloon whisk whips cream to the ideal smoothness,
blends egg whites into perfect peaks and scrambles eggs
into a light and fluffy texture for frying. Unique shape
and special curvature of the wires allow this whisk to
extend to the concave edges of a mixer bowl for more
precise blending. This retro style professional hand
mixer features a flat bottom base, allowing the mixer to
stand upright, without having to tilt against a mixing
bowl. Intuitive in design, this mixer also has a
manually retractable power cord that winds into the base
storage compartment, a feature rarely available, but
very useful, with hand mixers. With the precision-speed
adjustment, this professional hand mixer changes mixing
speed at the press of a switch for the ideal consistency
of sauces, dips, soups and marinades. Wide, easy-grip
handle gives you complete hand control for effortless
blending. The classic design of the Dualit professional
hand mixer with chrome-plated, hard-plastic housing
complements any kitchen decor. Stainless-steel
attachments. Innovative engineering, stylish profiling
and outstanding durability make Dualit a recognized name
for superior quality since 1945. Product Features

The Dualit Professional Hand Mixer is quite a machine! The power rivals a stand mixer. We decided on the Dualit after reviewing customers' comments and our own personal experience with a Dualit toaster. Excellent product!

I borrowed my son-in-law's mixer to whip meringue. Went online to see if that model was still available. No, it wasn't. Somehow I was directed
to the Chef's Catalog.com web site and to the Dualit mixer. I purchased two--one for me and one for my sister-in-law who taught me how to make her famous coconut cream pies. I whirred egg whites all over the counter and the back splash. Now that's the sign of a good mixer!

Mixer body made of plastic
PostedFebruary 24, 2012
Squarepeg
fromDenver, CO
Cooking Level:Intermediate
I bought this hand mixer because it came with the old school beaters, which I prefer, and I thought that it would last a lifetime. From the photos it appears that the body is stainless, but it's plastic. In my experience, the chrome look plastic wears and scratches, so I expect that this thing will look pretty bad in a couple of years. I think I might have considered a cheaper mixer if I had known what the construction was. $79.00 seems a bit high for a hand mixer made from plastic.
Love the retractable cord, though.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, Number of speeds
Cons: Quality, Construction, Value

The mixer is light weight and you can take a minute and rewind the cord back into the base of the unit when you are finished. Really nice to put it back into the drawer with out a cord. I find the kids wanting to wrap the cord around the mixed like they did with the old one and not wanting to take the 2 seconds it takes to manually rewind it back into the base. I love this feature however. Rotten kids complain about everything!

Best hand-mixer I have ever owned. Well-made and powerful. Be sure to use an over-sized bowl and have the beaters pressed to the bottom before starting due to the slow speed being quite fast.

I have not owned a hand mixer for several years preferring to use a whisk instead of mixer. I found that I would use a hand mixer more often so I purchased the Dualit hand mixer. I decided that this one was the best one for me and I have not been disappointed. It is very comfortable to hold onto and performs just as it is asked to do. I have not been disappointed in any way with its preformance. I would recommend this mixer without any hesitation.

Difficult cookie and bread doughs are a snap to mix with my new Dualit hand mixer. The sturdy construction of the mixer and accessories are impressive. My full stand mixer will only come out in time of necessity as this mixer with handle everything from whipping to light kneading. I like the retractable electric cord as well.

I'm not sure yet how the finish will hold up, but I do love the power of the mixer. Easily the most powerful of any hand mixer I've ever had. I love the ease of removing the blades. The whisk puts tons of air into egg whites in a very short time.

This is the best mixer I have owned in 45 years of cooking. It has handled every type of cooking job I have tackled with it. It make the "job" of cooking so much easier. The variable speeds are what helps the greatest. I would recommend this mixer to anyone from beginners to professionals, in home or on the job.
The only problem I had was with an accessory, the dough hooks. They can not handle "Red Velvet Cookie" dough. On hook snapped at the welding line. Having problems find a new set of dough hooks.

Heavy duty mixer...
PostedSeptember 26, 2011
A hand mixer both heavy and heavy duty was what I wanted. The Dualit is all of that and more. This appliance can mix concrete if you wish...it has the power.
The power cord retracts into the base for a neat storage solution. My kind of kitchen "tool".
