Combining a resilient 300-watt motor with a heavy-duty transmission, this powerful stand mixer can handle the heaviest mixtures and mix large batches easily. The unit's 10-speed slide control ranges from a very fast whip to a very slow stir, while its 67-point planetary mixing action moves the beater clockwise and the shaft counterclockwise, enabling the beater to reach every area and mix ingredients thoroughly with no need to rotate the bowl. In addition, the stand mixer's large 4-1/2-quart stainless-steel bowl features an ergonomically designed handle that is contoured for comfort, and its tilt-up head allows clear access to the beaters and bowl. The unit's one-piece pouring shield prevents ingredient splatter and makes it simple to add ingredients when the mixer is in use. Three mixing tools are also included for specific baking needs. The C-shaped dough hook makes mixing and kneading quick and effortless; the wire whip produces a light, fluffy texture; and the nonstick flat beater increases efficiency and reduces beating time. Dishwasher-safe bowl and beaters make cleanup a snap. Designed with a solid, all-metal base, the stand mixer measures approximately 14 by 9 by 14 inches and carries a one-year hassle-free replacement warranty.
