DASH Delish by DASH Compact Stand Mixer, 3.5 Quart with Beaters & Dough Hooks Included - Orange

I have wanted a mixer for the longest time and this mixer is absolutely perfect! It's smaller, so it fits in my apartment-sized kitchen like a dream. It's a beautiful color, so it's not only functional, it's fashionable as well! I tested it out, and the power is fantastic for such a small mixer. You can easily whip up a batch of cookies in this! They even sent a small book of recipes with it! I am very thrilled with my new mixer!

The media could not be loaded. This mixer is like a hand mixer on a stand. I read the instructions to find out you cannot let it run for a long time and you cannot use it for thick dough. It is small like a hand mixer so I can only make one batch at a time.It works for me and my needs. It is not a workhorse like the bigger, heavy duty ones.

I love the design and the fact that I now have a standing mixer. However, I thought it was bigger than it is. Also, the bowl doesn't rotate by itself. Which isn't really a big deal, I just have to do it. Because of the tall, narrow bowl, it is difficult to put a rubber spatula in there to scrape the sides. But honestly, I have a standing mixer now so I am happy! I got what I paid for. I was looking for something affordable to me at the time and that is what I got. One more thing, the color reminds me of orange cream vs neon orange.

I purchased this small mixer, and I was so excited because I had this super cute replacement for my hand mixer. It's adorable, and it looks adorable. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually mix anything. The bowl spins, but the actual attachments don't move, they sound in a stationary position. So whatever I'm mixing ends up on the outer edge of the bowl, and the attachments are in the middle, mixing nothing. The bowl is movable, from side to side, but that doesn't seem to help much. I'm really disappointed and I cannot return it. I have used it twice, I wanted to give it more than one chance. I tried to cream butter and sugar and ended up pulling out my big mixer because the mixture was on the outer edge and wouldn't cream. I attempted another time to make pancake batter, but it was lumpy and not well combined.

It is small enough I keep it on my counter. It does a great job for cake mixes and whipped potatoes. Not good for mixing breads or heavy batter.

I liked it a lot when I could use it. But now blades and dough hooks do not snap in so I can not use it anymore. Received as a Christmas present and used only a few times. I'm sad because I wanted a stand mixer so bad.

I bought this unit for $49 as an Epic Daily Deal or whatever it's called. Here is my unbiased review (and why I sent it back):The unit is made of really lightweight plastic, which I didn't find to be a bad thing. I have a small kitchen and the weight makes it easy to lift and store on a shelf, out of the way. The manufacturer seems really intent on the suction cups so I will say: Yes, it has them. They work. They are not a huge deal. It probably doesn't need them.The instruction book says not to run this unit more than 3 minutes at a time. I think that is a bit concerning - it seems like a lot of things would need longer than that to get mixed properly. If the motor can burn out that quickly, I think that's a concern.I cook every single day from scratch and am a comfortable baker. I made three things using this unit:- I made a cake mix, from a box. It was easy to set up the mixer and run it with the beaters, but I felt like the mix was mostly sticking to the sides of the bowl and not feeding through the beaters enough. Even after using the unit's slider to offset the bowl by an inch or two, I still had to get a spatula and scrape the sides back into the center regularly in order to get anything to mix. But the unit is very small and there isn't a lot (any really) of maneuvering room to do this. It was a real pain, and a wooden spoon would be faster and just as effective.- I made some dough, which starts by creaming a stick and a half of cold, diced butter into a pile of flour. I tried doing this with the dough hooks and they were 100% useless. I switched to the beaters, and they were only marginally better. Again, the ingredients stuck to the bowl instead of through the beaters, with no room to scrape the sides. And again, three minutes was not enough for this process. Not nearly. In this case, I think maybe a food processor or just plain old elbow grease with a pastry knife is still the way to go.- I made some cookies (toll house recipe). Same issues as the cake mix, only the mix was stickier so the issues were even worse.In the end, I think any standard (cheap) hand mixer would do a better job, as they have the same power as this unit and are infinitely more maneuverable, work with any bowl, and store in a smaller space. I packed this one up and sent it back disappointed.

I bought this in October I should have used it sooner! It is small but it is sturdy! It is easy to clean, the bowl lock function is sturdy, I love that the bowl rotates, and the hooks and mixers are side specific and lock in place nicely. I have no complaints. Glad I didn't spend the hundreds + on other brands. Might not be for the heavy duty baker, but awesome for a beginner or a little more advanced cook.!!

I was so excited to receive this product until I realized that it doesn't work very well at all.I wanted a nice light-weight machine so that I didn't have to dig out my huge kitchenaid mixer every time I wanted to make a simple recipe. I tried to cream butter and sugar with this machine. Unfortunately, the beaters just turn on their axles but do not move around the bowl. This means that it's impossible to mix all the ingrdients together. It was faster for me to mix by hand rather than using this mixer. I unfortuneltely had to return it.

This is just a hand mixer in a bowl. I tried to make cookies, meringue, Royal icing and a cake in it and each time I ended up just pulling out my hand mixer because it did a better job. Save your money.
