This is a great mixer in my opinion and gets the job done. I've used it many times and one time for fondant. I broke my hand held mixer when making fondant and this one did fine. Now i was very cautious and would recomend that for all mixers when mixing fondant. Unfortunately the mixer comes with only two attachments...standard beaters and dough hooks, no whisk :(. Overall I am satisfied with it.

When looking for a stand mixer. I just automatically thought of the Kitchen Aid product. I came across this one by Oster. I like Oster products a lot, and this did not disappoint me. I like the fact that the bowl rotates instead of the blades. That is why I originally went for it. The only thing that is a little disappointment, is that it has the capacity to have a smaller bowl, and I can not find out how to obtain one, as it does not come with it.

I had to give up my kitchenaid and so missed a stand mixer could not afford the costly price of another kitchenaid mixer so my husband got me the last one of these at walmart for an early Christmas present so I could use it on our holiday meal and I must say it done an amazing job for a fraction of the cost I was alittle skepticle going from the one beaters to the two again but I have realized that it mixes so much better then the one and the dough hooks work great, Just wish they offered the wisk attachment went to there web sight to order and it isnt available but beaters do well I would suggest this product !!

Save your money to get a Kithen Aid

My mom bought this mixer for me so we could make bread together while she was in town in June 2012. I wasn't impressed that the bowl wouldn't spin on it's own with the dough hooks or the beaters, I would have to sit and spin it...whats the point of a stand mixer I might have well just used a hand mixer. I have used it monthly since getting it for bread, cookies and other treats and again it was so-so, the speeds were either super slow or super fast no great medium. I was beginning to make my Christmas cookies last week when half way through one of my batches of sugar cookies (not that big by the way) the mixer stopped. The motor completely burnt out after 6 months and the whole thing is worthless! If I were you I'd save my money and wait a little longer for a Kitchen Aid. I have gone through 2 stand mixers in 8 years, Sunbeam and Oster, when others I know have had their Kitchen Aid for 35 years. I would NOT recommend this mixer to anyone!

I got this for Christmas last year, and I use it a lot. I make really thick icings, and it works great. After a year of using the only thing that I have had a problem with is that my beaters got bent and now I have to get new ones, but I use this so much that it doesn't matter, it works great.

I bought this mixer on Wednesday, used it on Thursday and I am taking it back today (Friday)
Very poor quality. I bought this to replace my 47 year old Sunbeam(which still works) and if this is how new mixers work, I'll keep using my old one.

After reading all of the bad reviews I questioned my judgement in buying this mixer. I'm glad I did buy it. I believe that most complaints would be quickly resolved if people would read the operating instructions. This mixer is powerful, looks good, easy to clean, and has done an excellent job for me.

awesome mixer for the price!

Despite the bad reviews I have enjoyed my stand mixer immensely! My husband got this for me for my birthday so I've had it for about a month. My 12 yr old daughter and I use it frequently, around 3 times/week (probably more#. There are five kiddos in our family so we bake.... A LOT :) I have not used it for kneading bread yet, but will eventually. We have used it for cakes, cookies, frostings, icings, and mashed potatoes #it makes the creamiest mashed potatoes..mmmmm). If it doesn't seem to be creaming well then you should check the position of the bowl. There are two settings found under the spinner plate. Also using a paddle instead of beaters will make it more efficient. Check out the equipment and read your manual to see all of it's attachments and goodies. Follow it's guidelines for settings and speeds. It's a great product and the manual usually covers most problems. Sometimes you just need to read and figure out how it works before you say it's rotten. Also, I own an oster blender that has lasted 10+ years, works great too. Love my stand mixer and looking forward to years of using it! Happy Baking to all!

I haven't had this for even a month yet we have made bread dough many times and pizza dough and cookie dough. It worked really good each and every time. I had to use a rubber spatula to be sure all the flour was mixed in. That's something that always needs done, with any mixer. And it's a minor thing, not worth fussing over. It didn't bog down or overheat. I am very pleased with this.

What a Waste!!!!

I bought this mixer yesterday and I have already returned it. Talk about a piece of junk. The turntable is worthless!!! It only mixes in one spot. I had to remove the mixing bowl and use my hand mixer to blend my ingredients correctly. Nothing to compare to the Kitchen Aid. My advice, just get the Viking or the Kitchen Aid. They are more expensive but they get the job done.

My old mixer was a KitchenAide. I guess because I've used the KitchenAide for the past 15 plus years, there's no turning back. This mixer did not meet my expectations at all. I actually returned it to the store.

It's true..don't do it!

By wmjunk ,

It does the job, but not what was expected for $100! Maybe I just didn't realize it, or else I'm naive, but the bowl DOESN'T MOVE like the description claims it's supposed to. You have to stand there and move the bowl around, and push pressure on the sides of the bowl to get the beaters to mix all the ingredients. It makes absolutely zero sense to me and the way it works, the item seems totally useless. I thought the point of having a stand mixer was so you didn't have to use your hands to mix things. The reviews are true, don't buy it. Save for one of the ones with the beaters that move around they probably work much better. I'm returning mine and hopefully finding one like that for myself. Unfortunately, Walmart advertises a Hamilton Beach one online that the beaters move around, but I can't find it in any stores. I don't know what I'll get, but I know I'd rather have my $100 back instead of this useless tool. Believe the reviews, they are true!

Review 15 for Oster Die-Cast Stand Mixer, Black
Mixer falls flat-do not waste your money
,01/30/2012
By israyfan

In the interests of full disclosure, I will acknowledge that I received this product specifically to try it out for a review. It was made clear, however, that I should be honest. In no way did anyone influence what I would say.
This mixer is a famous brand stand mixer want-to-be and falls way short of that goal. Yes, it's at a substantially lower price point, but sometimes, it's best to pay more and know you'll be more satisfied with the results. Please don't expect to get a quality stand mixer for $98. For those of you who appreciate detail, I'll review each component before I discuss what I made with the mixer.
OVERALL
My first reaction when I picked it up was how light it was in the box. I was expecting to need help to carry it to my car. I walked a good city block with it, no problem. When I got home and took it out of the box, I thought it looked pretty sleek with the black motor housing and body. And then I realized it's made entirely of plastic. That's why it's so light. This is a plus for anyone who doesn't have the counter space for a stand mixer (present company included -- I have to make room), but it's also a detriment because it's too light to perform well. Even the wheel that the bowl sits on is plastic. The only nonplastic parts are the bowl, beaters and dough hooks.

MOTOR
The mixer does have a nice variety of speeds, but doesn't seem to be able to handle even the simplest jobs well, such as making basic boxed brownies. More on that below. Even at higher speeds, the motor is relatively quiet. The problem arises with the vibration of the motor housing. The whole top part vibrates loudly and bounces around even on the simplest jobs. If you hold your hand over the top, it is less noisy and active, but why would anyone deal with that? The whole point of having a stand mixer is to make mixing easy.

If you hold your hand over the top, it is less noisy and active, but why would anyone deal with that? The whole point of having a stand mixer is to make mixing easy.
PERFORMANCE
I tested the mixer with three items from easiest to hardest in terms of demand and load, and it performed miserably each time: 1) Basic boxed brownies, 2) Gooey butter cake and 3) Wheat bread. I followed the instructions and began with the lowest possible speed for each item I made. The instructions note that higher speeds can cause a "snow storm effect." Even at the lowest speed, the mixer spewed the dry ingredients for all three items -- and I added them gradually sensing this problem was going to happen. It didn't just spew brownie mix, flour and powdered sugar -- it also spit out the melted butter I poured in VERY SLOWLY.

It didn't just spew brownie mix, flour and powdered sugar -- it also spit out the melted butter I poured in VERY SLOWLY.
The second crucial problem is that the bowl rarely turns. I guess the momentum of the beaters/dough hooks are supposed to make the bowl turn, but that doesn't work. I had to physically turn the bowl myself by hand. In addition, the mixer does not distribute the ingredients in the bowl or mix them adequately. Most of the time, there was a large amount of unmixed ingredients that the beaters/dough hooks ignored. I had to turn the mixer off, move the ingredients in the bowl closer to the beaters and then start over mixing. It took me longer to make my items than it would have had I used a hand mixer because I kept having to stop, scrape the bowl with a spatula, move the ingredients around and start over. Add to this the aggravation of the bowl not turning and the plastic housing vibrating and jumping around. It jumps around so much, it acts like it's going to break.
This mixer is made cheaply and does not do the job. Please do not waste your money. You will be disappointed. I am going to give this mixer away to my local charity and continue using my hand mixer. At least I know I have to scrape the bowl and turn it myself when I use it. I should not have to do that with a stand mixer. Having to do so defeats the whole purpose of the stand mixer.

My first reaction of the mixer was that it was kind of big and bulky compared to a hand mixer. It would be nice if it were offered in different colors like red or white. As I use the mixer I absolutely love the fact that one of the beaters is rounded to get everything from all around the sides of the bowl. It even has them color coded to know which side to put it on if you can’t figure it out. The mixer is very quiet and can handle a tougher batter at all speeds. I should say I only used it so far for cakes and pies but will try to make bread in future with it. I would like the bowl to be able to spin on its own at a low speed so I don’t have to do it but not a big deal. I liked the stainless steel bowl it was easy to clean and just looks good. I think it comes with a perfect sized bowl, as well. Overall, the mixer was easy to use and mixed my batters great.

This is the 1st stand mixer I've used and so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's appearance is nice, and I like the bowl attachment. At first I did not love that the mixer spun around, but didn't seem to mix the sides of my ingredient. However, after reading the manual I realized that you can adjust the spin and it performed much better. For my basic mixing needs, it is certainly a value over other more expensive brands.

Review 19 for Oster Die-Cast Stand Mixer, Black
Decent mid-range mixer
,01/26/2012
By Rambler9701 ,
Oak Park

out of

I think that this is a decent mixer among the mid-range models, though I would recommend spending the extra money on a higher-quality mixer if you are financially able. It has a very sleek design and fits well on the counter-top when not being used, and is easy to store when you need the counter-space. The stainless steel is extremely easy to clean-up both by hand and in the dishwasher. I found the motor to be powerful and it does a great job on a variety of different batter consistencies. The motor had no problem making mixtures fluffy and cutting through more dense mixtures with ease. I really appreciate the design of the beaters without the post in the middle…none of the batter clumped up and got stuck in the beater, as I have experienced with other models.
The biggest problem I had with this mixer was with the bowl and turntable function. The fixture that the bowl sits on is not very stable, and does not turn independently. The bowl rests on this piece just fine when the batter is smooth and light, but it jumped off the turntable several times when working with cold ingredients. I had to manually turn the bowl and move the ingredients with a spatula until the batter was smooth enough for the bowl to turn on its own.
Overall, I feel that this is a decent product for the price.

I can finally get rid of my hand mixer

I have been using an old-school hand mixer up until now. When I first used the stand mixer I was impressed that it wasn't overly bulky like others brands appear to be. It was very easy to use (not at all intimidating for a first time user). I didn't have any problems with the attachments not mixing everything together. I made the fluffiest and most delicious mashed potatoes I've ever made! The only thing I do wish is that it included more attachments. Otherwise, a great product that I've enjoyed using very much!
