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

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!

We moved into a much smaller space with way less cupboard space. We down graded on size and this is perfect. Just big enough to cover the recipes we have and fits easily in the space we have

For the price it is reasonable, but a kitchen aid it is not. It is not very powerful and I've needed to help the doughs along. It still does take off some of the workload, it works properly, and I decided to keep it until I'm ready to invest more in a more powerful appliance.

Great used them a few times

Good for small stuff

For starters this is nowhere near 3 qts. Right out of the box I could tell this was way way too small. I filled a 2 qt pitcher and poured it into the bowl and couldn't even get all 2 qts in it. The mixer itself is also very small, with not nearly enough power. The body of the stand is thin hollow plastic. Can't imagine this would last more than a few months even if you only wanted to mix a single serving at a time. This mixer would compliment an easy bake oven well. Returning this. You get what you pay for.

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! 😅

My cliënt is very satisfied. Well packedGood product foir home use.
