3000 SeriesPhilips 3000 Series Mixer

Very happy with my purchase, the mixer is powerful and sturdy.

A wonderful product. The mixer is everything I expected from the brand. I recommend it for any household.

Being a home industry baker, I've gone through several hand mixers and I usually choose Philips because it's a brand I've grown up with and have always trusted. I accept that the mixers I buy don't last as long as with normal domestic use, as I do higher volumes. However, when I bought my last mixer (the product above), I was shocked to note how cheap and flimsy the machine appeared to be. Everything looked and felt different to the quality I'm accustomed to with the brand. I don't have any confidence in the mixer while in use and I'm constantly expecting it to break. The most infuriating 'feature' is the rigid cord which, because of its lack of flexibility and the resulting permanent kinks, loops itself into my mixing bowl all the time. I literally have to wrap the cord around the outside of the bowl to try and prevent a mess. I'm so, so disappointed that my most trusted brand has now settled for the same rubbish quality I see in other cheap brands. Passing lightweight and cheap off as "ergonomic" is disingenuous.
