Know before you buy
The Flex Edge beaters feature a flexible outer edge that acts like a spatula, scraping the sides of the bowl as you mix. This provides twice the surface area of standard beaters, resulting in faster incorporation of ingredients and less manual scraping.
This mixer is designed for everyday tasks like mixing batters, cookie doughs, and whipping cream. It is not recommended for heavy, dense bread doughs, which require a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Yes, all included accessories are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. The main mixer body should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
The storage clip attaches directly to the bottom of the mixer, allowing you to snap the beaters and whisk into place. This keeps all your attachments together in one spot, so you don't have to store them in a separate box or drawer.
At just two pounds, this model is lightweight and designed to be comfortable for extended use. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver without causing hand fatigue.
The pro whisk is specifically designed for aerating mixtures. It is the ideal tool for whipping heavy cream, egg whites, or light mousses where you need to incorporate a large amount of air quickly.
