DASH Stand Mixer (Electric Mixer for Everyday Use): 6 Speed Stand Mixer with 3 qt Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, Dough Hooks & Mixer Beaters for Dressings, Frosting, Meringues & More - Red, DCSM250RD

This is a fantastic mixer for beginner bakers who have small kitchens! It’s really adorable and compact. I absolutely love the fun aqua color. It’s probably not the best mixer on the market, but for such a low price it’s very high quality and a great deal! It's small but perfect for small batch baking. It’s very compact, which makes it convenient to store, and it’s lightweight, which makes it easy to move around and clean. It’s easy to set up, take apart, and clean. All of the attachments and the bowl attach securely. The tilt head works great and is super helpful for adding ingredients to the bowl. The whole unit is very sturdy and durable. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, so there is not much of a learning curve. The suction cups are quite strong and keep the mixer firmly in place. All 6 speeds work well, and the fastest speed is quite powerful. Consequently, you can use this mixer to make pretty much anything! I highly recommend this product and think it would make a great gift for a novice baker with limited counter space!

I recently bought the Dash Stand Mixer in Aqua, and it’s been great for my baking and cooking. The 6-speed settings give me perfect control for everything from light whipped cream to thick cookie dough, and the 3-quart stainless steel bowl is just the right size for everyday use. What I love most: Powerful but compact—fits easily on my counter without taking up too much space. Easy to clean—the bowl and attachments are dishwasher-safe. Versatile—I’ve used it for dressings, frosting, meringues, and even bread dough (the dough hooks work great!). Cute retro design—the Aqua color brightens up my kitchen. The only small downside? If you’re mixing very thick dough for long periods, it can get a little warm, but for everyday baking, it’s fantastic. Perfect for: Home bakers who want an affordable, stylish, and functional stand mixer without the giant size or price tag of heavy-duty models. Highly recommend!

I bought the aqua color Dash Stand Mixer and it was delivered 11-12-2022. Upon opening the box, the mixer was well packaged. Honestly, this looks and feels like it should go in a child's toy kitchen. It's plastic. I thought oh brother, did I waste my money or what.....but I decided to give it a go. I bought this to use instead of using my handheld blender. I recently started making my own butter from heavy cream and it needs to mix for around 10-12 minutes or so before it turns. So I washed everything well and went to work. The mixing bowl is nice and a fair size. It anchors onto the platform by lining up the guides and turning the bowl clockwise. You can't feel it lock into place, or at least I can't, so I tested it to make sure it was locked in place. The mixer also has little suction cup do-dads to hold it onto the counter. Plugged it in and let 'er rip. It's pretty noisy. Since I started with heavy cream I used the beaters, not the dough hooks. The speeds are marked 1-2-3-4-5-6, That's it. Not whip, blend, beat, cream, mix, etc. So you kinda have to guess. In the instruction booklet it says you should not run the mixer on a high speed for more than 10 minutes because you might overheat the motor. I though, oh great, I need to use a high speed to get the heavy cream to turn; but, I started out on a lower speed and worked up to setting 4. I noticed someone said their bowl doesn't turn by itself. Well folks, if you're beating eggs or something light, ofcourse it's not going to turn by itself! Once the heavy cream started to thicken up, that bowl went around on its own with no help from me. There's also a little gadget sticking out the front so you can adjust the bowl for the beaters to stay more centered, or off to the side. Anyway, after about 12 minutes, the heavy cream turned into butter and the motor did just fine. I think one needs to proceed with caution about just what to mix with this appliance; I read someone makes cheesecake. It's probably ok for that, muffins, cake batter, etc., thing that you would make with a hand blender. As for an actual dough, I won't do it. Light items only for this lovely colored plastic mixer made in China. Bought the extra warranty too just in case.

Okay, so I DID end up returning this Mixer, but hear me out! It wasn't because it was a bad product, it was just a little too small for the HUGE batches of cookies I like to make for, like, the whole neighborhood. That said, this mixer is seriously ADORABLE and feels super well-made for the price. Here's what I LOVED about it: Compact & Cute: Seriously, it's tiny! Perfect if you have limited counter space. The bright color (I got the aqua) was a total bonus. Powerful Enough: It handled some pretty thick cookie dough (before I realized I needed a bigger bowl!) without struggling. All 6 speeds seemed to work well. Lightweight: Easy to move around, which is a big plus for me. Easy to Clean: The bowl and attachments are all dishwasher safe, which is a HUGE time-saver. The 3 Quart Bowl is Sturdy: I was genuinely surprised at how robust it felt, especially considering the price point. Stainless steel is always a win! Tilt-Head Design: Made it easy to add ingredients and scrape the bowl. Great Value: Honestly, for the price, you can't beat this little mixer. Ultimately, I needed something bigger, but if you're a casual baker making smaller batches of cookies, cakes, or frosting, this DASH mixer is an absolute winner. It's powerful, easy to use, and looks great on your countertop! I'd totally recommend it!

I have only one criticism and it's that the color looks a little more green than it does in the picture, but it is otherwise a great product for the price! Not that the color is unappealing, it's just not what I expected. It's more of a seafoam green than a pastel blue. Either way, it's still a cute color that I consider to be a pleasant surprise! I used mine to make a whipped body butter for pain relief and the texture came out perfect! I was very pleased considering that I left the mixture in the fridge for about 15 hours longer than I was supposed to and it completely solidified. I was afraid that it was going to be too much for the mixer, whom I named Timothy (I take better care of my belongings if I name them.), but Timmy handled it like a champ! Timmy didn't struggle or throw any of the mixture around and my body butter came out super fluffy and silky. I was so happy with the results that I even broke out my best jars to store it! Given how little I paid, compared to other mixers, I was very happy with the results! It's well built, surprisingly strong, super cute, the power settings are very gradual, so going from one to two isn't like going from a love tap to a kick in the face. It also has suction cups underneath to keep it from moving and a little lever on the bottom that allows you to adjust the position of the bowl so that the outer edges of the bowl can be given as much attention as the center. You may still need to use a spatula to scrape the edges of the bowl, but it's not like it's missing huge portions of batter/mix/whatever you're making. Solid build and solid performance. I absolutely recommend it!

It can work only for home purpose. I had it since a long time ago. It’s hard to clean but works well and the dough can be done in quality

While cute and of good size, the mixer is simply too powerful. On the lowest setting it was shaking so much it had to be held down. Despite it's power, it was terrible at mixing. Ended up having to take the bowl and use a hand mixer anyway.

Love it it's super lightweight takes up little space that works like a Powerhouse made the best peanut butter cookies so far so good
