Multiple motor failures
I have purchased severeal of these units for various birthdays, Christmas presents, wedding showers, etc... and at least TWO of the units have failed in under 2 years. Initially everyone loved the product with all the handy dandy attahments, but with only 1 speed-HIGH-these units are no longer useable. I trust Consumer Reports for most of my purchases and this unit was highly rated, but obviously they do not use the product for many years to determine its longevity!

Only time will tell if this mixer was worth the price of $44.

Best handmixer available @ any price
I'm not one to write reviews, but Braun M880 Multimix 4-in-1 Hand Mixer deserves kudos from me. I know that packaging text will indicate that this mixer is not suitable for institutional use, but we use this model exclusively in our bakery for small mixing jobs not suitable for our 12qt mixer. We have tried all of the higher priced *******-Aid and O*str products but they failed in less than a year's worth of use. The secret is the direct drive motor assembly.
No plastic gears to strip or metal gears to fail. These units would last almost indefinetly if it were not for the failure of the speed switch. It will reach a point where all you have is high speed and pulse and we have used them in this condition until the switch fails completely, but the motor never, ever ... Read More
