Dash Stand Mixer (Electric Mixer for Everyday Use): 6 Speed Stand Mixer with 3 Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, Dough Hooks & Mixer Beaters for Dressings, Frosting, Meringues & More - Aqua

I’ve had a home bakery going on 9 years. I’ve definitely collected an assortment of appliances since then! I started with an Oster stand mixer that was gifted to me. I soon upgraded to a 3.5qt KA mini as I needed a better whipping option for meringues and such. Shortly after, I went bigger with a KA 7qt pro, followed by the 7qt GE profile smart mixer, followed by a 5qt KA tilt head. (Sorry, the larger ones are way too heavy to include in the photos.) These were tough acts to follow but the Dash was an easy choice. For my current need, I was really looking for something that was small enough to move around with a tiny footprint. But it needed to stand on its own as a disability limits my limb usage to 20% (no heavy lifting for me). Plus, they had it in pink! I did read a lot of reviews so I did know what to expect. The speed is pretty fast but depending on where the bowl lever is set can increase or decrease the spin action. Although they state that the attachments are dishwasher safe, I didn’t want to chance it based on other reviews reporting rust or breakage. It’s also a bit annoying to clean the whisk attachment that has the rubber grommet (downside to not running it through a dishwasher). But a few extra seconds of brushing (automated dishwashing brush) got it clean. As light as it is, it initially felt like a toy… like the counterpart to an easy bake oven. But it’s definitely not. Being super light, they include suction cups to help keep the mixer in place. Very helpful as it’s even challenging to press the buttons unless it’s suctioned to a sturdy surface. Button on top to release attachments, button on the right side to tilt the head back, and lever in front under the bowl to rotate the bowl placement. Although it does include “dough hooks” it’s worthy to mention what Dash considers a use case for those attachments. The instructions do state that the whisk attachments be used to start the mixture, but also suggests switching to the dough hooks for thicker mixtures. This totally made a difference with thicker buttercreams and fillings. For size reference, the Dash mixer is nestled in the middle of the Artisan mini and the classic Artisan. Welcome to the bakery family! 😅

Considering the price of this mixer i cannot fault it at all. I bought this for my small business making batches of cosmetics/bath products. The bowl is so much bigger than I thought and is quite tall, which is perfect when adding powdered ingredients as they don’t puff out when you turn the mixer on. Even the slowest setting was good enough to whip up solid Shea butter easily which I was quite impressed with. There is an option to slide the bowl along the base with a lever, this isn’t something I’ve seen before but found it really useful because you can move the bowl to make sure the beaters catch whatever is on the sides. The stainless steel is really easy to clean and the design is lovely and very cute. It’s compact and small but still big enough to make a decent amount. I have even put away my expensive kenwood mixer and replaced it with this one because it is so much more user friendly and light. You can fit it in a narrow kitchen cupboard with loads of space still. It is so sturdy as well and the materials are probably better quality than mixers I’ve had costing over £100. I’ve also found expensive mixers might shake a lot and move around on the worktop but this didn’t even budge. I love this little mixer and honestly can’t find one thing wrong with it for the price which surprised me as I wasn’t expecting much for £13. I’ve seen a lot of people write negative reviews on this mixer (there are a few on amazon) because it is small but that is the whole point and it is ridiculously cheap.

Ótima batedeira! Pequena e potente! Atendeu todas as minhas necessidades!

When I unpacked this mixer, I was unsure if it would be any good. It is very light, and seemed a bit flimsy - which was not surprising considering the price. However, I have used it a few times now and my initial impressions have been disproved. I have used it to mash potatoes, 2 very dense cookie batters, and a few other recipes with no issues. One thing I wanted to find out was if it would be good for persons with limited strength. It would be quite good for this purpose as it is very light, plus it uses very little exertion to lever the top to add the beaters and fit the bowl underneath. I plan to buy one for my sister who has very limited strength issues. I’m sure she will be able to use this mixer easily. Well worth the low cost!!

Such a great mixer for the price! 😀 Just whipped up a batch of brownies no problem! Bowl is far bigger than i was anticipating and compared to how it even looks! Plenty of speed choices and has the option of moving the bowl from side to side both to add ingredients and to mix the whole bowl. Always use a spatula to get any missed ingredients in my other one anyways. It’s really lightweight and small so good for storage 🙂 comes with two beater types for cakes etc and doughs. Even comes with a book of little recipes :) Overall would definitely recommend :)
