The Hamilton Beach Professional All-Metal Stand Mixer handles every mixing task, from cookies and whipped cream to bread dough. The power hub lets you use optional specialty attachments for making fresh pasta, grinding meat, slicing, and shredding.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The compact Hamilton Beach Professional All-Metal 63240 won’t hog counter space or take a bite out of your budget. It’s equally good at whipping and kneading, earning Excellent ratings, meaning it can handle both light and heavy tasks. And it’s almost as good at mixing things like cookie dough. Our testers found it fairly convenient to use and clean, and the noise it makes when running is not objectionable. The head of the mixer tilts, and it comes with a flat beater, dough hook, and wire whisk.

 The stainless steel bowl has a handle, which is highly desirable, and the bowl, splash guard and attachments can all go in the dishwasher. The plastic splash guard fits around the top of the bowl to reduce spillage when you are adding ingredients while the mixer is running. Often, these are the dry ingredients of a recipe. However, this is where I find a flaw in the design

 Often, these are the dry ingredients of a recipe. However, this is where I find a flaw in the design. The bowl, and consequently, the splash guard, do not extend very much outside of the squared housing of the mixer, so there is very little room to pour ingredients from another bowl or even a large cup. To add to this problem, the splash guard itself has a very small opening for pouring

Easy-to-use Mixer Works Well But I Prefer My Kitchen Aid

 Last, the handle on this bowl is shockingly cheap when compared to the rest of this mixture. The edges on the handle are flat cut metal, no rounding or thickness added. So while they are not "sharp" and won't cut you, I certainly wouldn't call if comfortable to hold. The bowl handle is a distraction from the overall quality everywhere else, that is quite good

This mixer is priced to compete with the big deal kitchenaid (the mixer that sets the benchmark. Overall it is a good, and powerful mixer, with solid metal housing so we like, but there are a few things I would change. At this price point, kitchenaid is still a better buy. If this were 50% the price of the kitchenaid, this would be a better buy

 Overall styling, the kitchenaid still looks better. That classic design just can't be beat. Last, the handle on this bowl is shockingly cheap when compared to the rest of this mixture. The edges on the handle are flat cut metal, no rounding or thickness added

Solid Mixer with a Few Improvements Needed

 You have to lift the top to spatula the mashed potatoes or other batter back down into the bowl. The mixing bowl has a metal handle that is thin and consequently can be uncomfortable in my hand when lifted while the bowl is full of something. The bowl can be lifted when mixing which is nice. It seems like a solid machine but it is somewhat small

 The speed of the mixer is controllable. Overall, this is a physically lightweight mixer although it is certainly powerful enough to get the job done. The suction cups hold tight and I must really tug on it to release the cups. The mixer doesn't seem particularly solid although the paddles and everything else work together well and have no wobble

Small but Mighty in Some Ways

Quit working not even 2 months old. Updated.

Compared to the overrated, overpriced and prop65 carcinogen filled Kitchen-aid mixers and its line of accessories, it is a far superior unit in terms of weight, features, construction and versatility.

 It should have been made entirely from stainless steel and more tasks than just slicing and shredding. Although I haven't specifically tried the Hamilton Beach models, the common issue with similar models is that they are not back sealed. The food will move backwards, often into the mixer itself or get stock in places that make cleaning a nightmare.

Head & Shoulder Above Kitchenaid

  I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and it managed that fine, and there were no ingredients left behind, which can happen with some designs. But while all stand mixers make noise, this one makes an extra unpleasant whining noise.  Overall, my recommendation is that one should invest a few more dollars and get a stand mixer that works really well, of which there are many. I'm afraid that while the Hamilton Beach Professional can produce cookie dough, I can't recommend this mixer except for light or occasional use in a tiny cooking space

 In the attached photo you can see the spot welds inside of the bowl. It was his consideration that the handle wasn't going to stay attached with any heavy use.  The bowl has a lip on the bottom which will catch water in the dishwasher, but there is a hole for the water to drain if the bowl is placed just right so water CAN drain. I appreciate that

 But again, it's light weight so it's not like lifting a full sized mixer from a more classic brand.  Speaking of a classic brand of stand mixer, it does have the handy hub that you can use with your KitchenAid attachments. That's worth a couple of stars.  The chute for adding ingredients is quite small, though

  Overall, my recommendation is that one should invest a few more dollars and get a stand mixer that works really well, of which there are many.

Hamilton Beach Professional Stand Mixer

 I gave up pretty quickly trying to add ingredients using the plastic cover. Too many ended up outside rather than inside the bowl! Even with the cover removed, it was necessary to lift the mixer head in order to really get inside the bowl and scrape down the sides. The accessories are pretty good quality. Some other unrecognizable brands have accessories that don't look as if they will last long, so that is reassuring, but I'm still wavering about whether the difficulty in using this very high narrow bowl will prove to be such a nuisance that I'll turn to my old hand mixer rather than getting out the stand mixer! I try to convince myself that I'm past the point of making three recipes of stollen at a time

 However, I don't find it particularly easy to use. For one thing, it has a very high bowl. I gave up pretty quickly trying to add ingredients using the plastic cover. Too many ended up outside rather than inside the bowl! Even with the cover removed, it was necessary to lift the mixer head in order to really get inside the bowl and scrape down the sides

I"m just getting too old to lift my long-time kitchen friend, my Kitchen Aid mixer. I have been testing out less expensive or smaller stand mixers, trying to find the perfect solution, so I was excited to try out this Hamilton Beach. It's reassuring when you see a trusted name. This is a lot smaller and lighter than my Kitchen Aid, but doesn't feel cheap like so many of the Chinese brands

 To sum up, the quality of the mixer itself, along with the bowl and accessories, seems good. I feel secure that the motor will keep on humming away for the duration. It's attractive, even sleek looking if you want to keep it out on your counter, and easy to clean. It mixes the ingredients well

Should this replace my heavy Kitchen Aid?

Beware of the bowl's handle!

 In short, Amazon had the iconic mixer on special for prime day and I was not sure I needed one. I had always done everything by hand. In the course of 24 hours I reads dozens of reviews, watched as many videos, and decided to buy one, but not the one Amazon had on special. To this day, after hundreds of hours of use, and testing a dozen or more mixers, I have come to the conclusion that the one everyone wants is not better than average, probably worse

 In the course of 24 hours I reads dozens of reviews, watched as many videos, and decided to buy one, but not the one Amazon had on special. To this day, after hundreds of hours of use, and testing a dozen or more mixers, I have come to the conclusion that the one everyone wants is not better than average, probably worse. To cut to the chase, at that time I bought a Cuisinart because it was twice as powerful, had a warranty 7 times as long, and was all metal unlike the competition.  About a year and a half ago my daughter moved back home to take a position working under some creative young chefs who had already acquired a reputation and were opening a restaurant in Honolulu

 I am also outfitting her apartment as I upgrade my kitchen. To get back to the mixer, I also said in another review that a lot of them mix the dough into a ball which then gets slammed against the side of the bowl, not actually kneading. This mixer has what they call planetary action. In stead of mixing what is in the center of the bowl, it goes around the sides, which makes a huge difference

  The splatter shield is cleverly designed. The section with the opening is removable, leaving an arc which fits around the mixer stem, so you can easily add or remove attachments, and do not have to worry about breaking or losing the tabs which hold it in place (which explains why one of my mixers is in the cupboard).  The above are the main points, and what I feel differentiates this mixer from other available home mixers. The bottom line is that it works better, is more efficient, is better built, and has a longer warranty (3 times as long)

Unique among home mixers

 Hence, I'm not taking off any stars. I will say, though, that I've used professional, floor model stand mixers for kneading bread in commercial kitchens, and their motors don't overheat and shut off.

* Easy to insert and remove bowl and attachments. If you've used a KitchenAid, this is very similar.
