Hamilton Beach 079531761001 62633R Electric Reviews Summary

Speed & Power

Pros:

• "The slowest speed is not a mild let's-just-go-for-a-stroll speed. It is faster than you might expect."
• "The six speeds quickly gave way to about three different settings, with the ones in between causing the mixer to stop."
• "This mixer is powerful for a little guy. 275 watt and 6 speeds with a burst of speed feature."
• "It's very comfortable and balanced in hand and up to the task with a strong motor."
• "This mixer has lots more power and speed options."
• "Full of power to get the job done."
• "I've used a couple of hand helds before years ago, but this one I can say I felt a huge power difference."

Cons:

• "The blender seems to be well built, and the organizer storage is nice. However, the big issue with this blender are it's speed settings."
• "Even tho this blender has 6 speeds, the first speed starts at 'blow your ingredients out of the bowl' fast."
• "Love every thing about this mixer except that it is too fast on low speed."

Design & Build

Pros:

• "Built with quality is true."
• "The beater blades are traditional in design and I prefer this over the newer thinner wire blades that seem to be popular."
• "The SS beaters are solidly made and the metal seems a very heavy gauge."
• "It's pretty light weight and the ergonomics work well for both my wife and I."
• "It's very sturdy and easy to use."
• "CANT SPEAK TOO MUCH BUT OUT OF THE BOX IT LOOKS AND FEELS NICE."
• "This is the best hand-held mixer I've ever owned! It's a good weight and strong and not too loud."

Cons:

• "THE GEARS THAT DRIVE THE BEATERS ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND GOT STRIPPED so that the beater no longer turned."
• "The beaters don't always come out easily, and they don't feel really secure going on, either."
• "This mixer is so heavy... Too heavy …I stopped using it."
• "The KitchenAid was light and didn't feel sturdy."
• "It's beater and whisk attachments are thin and slight compared to my previous mixer."
• "The way of releasing the blades is not quick and easy."
• "Where the cord comes out of the body of the mixer is prone to breakage."

Storage & Convenience

Pros:

• "Having an attached storage case was a real bonus for me."
• "All fit in the caddy, and I get the cord stored in there too."
• "New snap on storage is a great idea rather than the bulky box."
• "The snap on case stores beaters! Now no excuse for misplacing them!"
• "The snap on storage is soooooo convenient for storing the beaters that come with it."
• "It does not take up a lot of room on my counter top."
• "Easily stores in a cupboard or drawer until you need it again."

Cons:

• "I was disappointed with the plastic container for beaters, etc. It does not snap on well."
• "The large storage unit included is very tall and takes up too much space in use."
• "The storage attachment I ended up choosing to not use; it's a bit too snug when putting onto the base of the mixer and a bit cumbersome to remove."
• "It takes several attempts to mash it all in to the box and if you dont put them just the right way it's not going to close up at all."
• "The 'storage case' was clunky, and it was difficult to actually store the beaters and cord in the space provided."
• "Also, it takes up too much space in cabinet."
• "The container for the cord and beaters sticks on the mixer so hard, it is extremely difficult to pull it off."

Reliability & Durability

Pros:

• "This is a great hand mixer especially for whipping up small batches of things."
• "It's super easy to clean and the best part is that the attachments and cord store together, making it look neat and all attachments easily accessible for next use."
• "We've had this mixer since November of 2015 and it still works perfectly."
• "It works great for what I need it for but it came from Walmart, not dirty, clean and it works."
• "It works great and I love it, you can't beat the price and I know it will last a long time."
• "This mixer is quite a workhorse! I mostly use it for cookie dough, which depends on a sturdy model."
• "I ordered the Hamilton Beach 62633R Hand Mixer on 1/21/17 and it was delivered on 1/23/17, excellent turnaround time."

Cons:

• "Used it four times - the motor burnt out while making cookie dough."
• "Bought at the end of January and it broke mid-May."
• "This particular model broke within two months of regular use."
• "It just stopped working."
• "Unfortunately, it didn't last two months before dying in the middle of a batch of Thanksgiving cookies."
• "The beaters that were not put in the dishwasher rusted so the mixer can't be used."
• "The beaters rusted within 3 weeks of purchase."

Customer Service & Warranty

Pros:

• "Amazon was gracious enough to refund the original mixer cost-even if it is 11 months passed purchase."
• "I was able to return it and I received a new one very quickly."
• "I may change my review if I received good customer service from the manufacturer."

Cons:

• "Hamilton Beach customer service would not take action to correct the issue for me."
• "TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Spend a little extra and get a better mixer… one with a warranty beyond the Amazon return window."
• "Don't expect any real warranty - Customer service phone line is only answered by machine and tells you to go online for support service."
• "They gave me a coupon for free shipping to buy a new mixer."
• "Never again, Hamilton Beach!"
