My wife has just bought a new Dualit hand mixer and decided to write a review about it for my blog. It is her first post so be nice:

I’ve just used my new Dualit hand mixer for the first time and I have to say I am very impressed the robust design which makes it very good to use. I decided to buy a Dualit hand mixer because I have previously bought other kitchen gadgets in the same range and I found them to be very durable also I like the retro look that Dualit offer so this mixer matches my other gadgets well.

Although it is on the higher end of the scale price wise you do get so much more for your money than other cheaper hand mixers, it comes with two multipurpose oversize flat beaters, two dough hooks and one balloon whisk ideal for a range of cooking and baking needs. It also has five different speeds, manual retractable power cord for easy storage and a convenient beater ejector lever for easy release. Also during use the beater is not too noisy compared to cheaper mixers I have had in the past, I also found the handle easy to grip and use and it was not too heavy ideal if you have a lot to mix over a long period of time.

I used my mixer to make meringues, not the easiest of things to make however I found that I managed to get plenty of air into my egg whites when using the balloon whisk attachment, something I have found hard to do in the past by hand. It didn’t take long for soft peaks to form when using the mixer and when they came out of the oven they were perfect, all in all my first use of my mixer has been very successful.
