My wife’s cakes were dreadful and were not improving despite my stearn instruction. Thankfully, after many years of suffering on my part, they have now been improved by use of this apparatus. Those fearful of newfangled contraptions need not be concerned. The operation of the device is simple provided that you have at least one hand and a modern 230v electrical outlet. Unfortunately there is not a petrol option. It really is a wonder of the modern age and I highly recommend it for those with weak elbows and a demanding spouse.

A really great hand mixer at a reasonable price. Very light but robust, virtually silent when switched on, even on the highest setting. I've not used the whisks yet, but am confident that they will be as good as the dough hooks, which effortlessly knead bread dough. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

So far only used it once. Very light, hope it lasts as I make lots of cakes.

very good mixer time will tell if it lasts bosch has gone down the cheap route in quality

Overall it is a major improvement over my 20+ year old kenwood mixer but one of the whisks I received was bent out of shape which caused vibration when the mixer was turned on. After a bit of judicious bending most of this vibration has gone and after reading other reviews I don’t think I’m the only one to have suffered this. Time will tell I suppose but it’s not a problem I ever suffered with on my old Kenwood. Other than that’s its very quiet and light and does the job.

very lightweight and quiet during work. The speed is large range from the first gear where it turns slowly to the fifth where it is fast enough to whip foam from egg whites in a minute. Also the impulse function is very helpful. To sum up, it is worth paying a few pounds more for this well-looking mixer. And as always, the purchase process and very positive delivery. Thank you AO.

I had decided I wanted to try my hand at cake baking. Hard work with a hand held mixer so I thought I'd treat myself. Having done my research as to what was a good one I decided to go for this Bosch. Straight out the box I was already knowing I was on a winner. It's light, easy to get the mixers in and out. It has the dough and cake mixes and has a good enough length of chord to get to where I needed in the kitchen. About 1.4 meters. An added factor is that it can stand up on its back whilst you busy with placing other ingredients in the bowl. I made my first ever buttercream last night. Wow did it cream that batter perfectly. Yes I can highly recommend this Bosch mixer it truly is well worth the price. The motor is a good strong 400w and is ample for the casual cake baker. What's more to say other than I have nicknamed it mixerlicious after my 1st guinea pig on my cake tasting comment. "Delicious!" "Oh!” I said only because of Mixerlicious. After all my research on this item the proof is in the cake... Hahaha. Put it in you basket I can guarantee you won't be sorry.

Although this item was more costly that I originally wanted to spend, so far it's proved to be excellent. Very quiet and nice and lightweight. It has various speed settings and is easy to use. An added bonus is that the beaters will go in the dishwasher, unlike my last mixer. Fantastic service from ao.com, delivery smooth and efficient. Will use again.
