Hamilton Beach 60111 Eclectrics All-Metal Double-Spindle Retro Drink Mixer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm disappointed in its performance.I love milkshakes and spent alot of time reading reviews from several websites of all the makes and models of drink mixers.When I finally decided on the Hamilton Beach brand, I was thrilled to find they made a double mixer.I'm a vanilla lover, but the rest of the family likes chocolate.I thought this mixer would be perfect for all of us.It's all metal construction, but as other reviewers of other models have complained, it does not mix frozen ice cream well.You have to constantly remove the mixing cup from the holder and manually manuever the cup to mix the ice cream.Maybe it's all about motor horsepower?

To be honest, I have not yet tried letting the ice cream soften before using.Maybe that's the key.But on the other hand, if I have to do that, I believe a blender could do the job just as well.

The pros:Super easy clean-up, looks great (very retro) in my kitchen, and quiet.

I've come to the conclusion if you want a restaurant quality milkshake at home, you're just going to have to bite the bullet and spend $200 plus on a true professional mixer.

BTW, a tip I learned about making great milkshakes:use whole milk, some sweetened condensed milk, and a drop of vanilla flavoring for vanilla lovers.

Product Description:
Enjoy homemade milk shakes reminiscent of the 1950's soda fountain days with this retro-style drink mixer. The 200-watt appliance features powerful twin motors and commercial-grade stainless-steel mixing spindles for exceptional results. Thanks to its double-spindle design, it's easy to have a chocolate drink going in one and a strawberry in the other--both at the same time. With two speeds on each motor, the appliance works great for mixing a large variety of recipes, from ice cream and soda or fruit drinks to omelets, pancakes, and more. The unit folds air into shakes as it mixes, increasing volume for smooth, fluffy results. Accessories include two stainless-steel cups that connect to the machine for hands-free mixing of up to 56 ounces. The cups keep drinks cold and are dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup. With its all-metal die-cast housing, the drink mixer measures 15-1/3 by 11-3/5 by 20 inches and carries a three-year warranty.
