Bad Points

  • Fairly basic instructions.
  • Heavy motor head is not spring loaded.
  • Small control lever, stiff to operate.
  • Unit can still operate when motor head is lifted.
  • Bowl may jam on after mixing.
  • No eject button to remove beater, hand can get covered in mixture.
  • Smooth wooden bowl has no handle. Can make it awkward to remove a load.
  • No splash guard, some ingredients can splash out need to slow down the speed.
  • Whining noise during operation.
  • Wooden bowl is not dishwasher safe. For best care, regularly season bowl after each use with food safe mineral oil, manufactured food safe wood polish or walnut oil. Wood is a natural material that shows signs of wear as you use it – however marks won't affect it's usage.
  • Caring for your wooden bowl with regular seasoning, using oil can affect the result of whipping egg whites to a stiff peak.
  • Noticeable chip in the interior of the wooden bowl. Wood can become scratched and dented if blades are dropped on the soft wood. Avoid storing attachments inside the bowl.
  • Wooden bowl may be prone to staining.
  • Not recommend to add hot/boiling foods or liquids to the wooden bowl.
