How is the torque? I have a cheap mixer that just stops working when it feels some resistance.

It was good until it stopped working. After barely a year it stripped its gears.

It's decent enough but I'd like to burn the motor out because I hate it so much.

It's pretty good. But I've only made mashed potatoes and a couple of cheesecakes. It did well with the cream cheese that wasn't fully at room temp and that was kind of stiff. And the retractable cord is awesome. It needs help retracting a little, but its great for storage.

The torque is amazing...the first time i challenged the torque the unit emitted a electrical smell as if it were heating up components. However subsequent high-torque mixing has not resulted in any smells, the unit does get warm but it runs smooths and strong.

You should contact Behringer Tech Support, maybe they can resolve your issues. It is clearly written on the manufactures box that houses the Xenyx 502, that it has Phantom Power. As I stated earlier, it does not directly impact my use of the mixer. I do understand your frustration with this problem.

Thanks your a life saver.. worm gear follower was chewed up.. must not be hardened gears. The grease is liquifying so that probably doesnt help matters either. Only a few hours usage, though with stiff batter.Any recommendations on grease? I'm inclined to want to use automotive wheel bearing grease.

I would say it is smooth and requires some torque to move it. A bit stiffer than I thought it would be but not to the point being unhappy. After some use I didn't and do not really notice it. Definitely stiffer than my 18-200.

It does get hard but remember you want to be able to remove the mixing paddle so you don't want to leave it on real long term. Then the paddle would get stuck and perhaps burn the motor. Just my option as an owner.

Don, I have had no problems with this mixer, and found that it is as advertised. The smooth start is excellent.

Hi, make sure you have good quality cables, & try separating your mixer & your speaker power sources....You may be inducing a ground loop... -MT

I was looking at this mixer.. but saw on topten reviews of this mixer.. IT DOES NOT HAVE planetary action. Looks like some conflicting info here so I'll research more.

I have not had any trouble with this mixer in any kind of dough. I find the thin blades makes it easier to use in thicker dough.Have made lots of cookies with this blender, does anything I have used it for, simple love it.

It was....but after only several months of use mine broke while mixing up a batch of cookies. A piece of metal fell out with one of the beaters.... It was impressively strong for the price, but I will be buying a more more expensive mixer that will hold up longer.

I got this mixer recently and it is really good. I use it twice a week to grind rice and dhal, it runs smooth with no issues.

Hi CatYou are very welcome!!! Let me know how it goes with the Ninja. Unfortunately I had to return mine to the store because after trying mix/blending dough for bread, I think it degraded the motor because it didn't seem as powerful anymore. Anyway, good luck!

I just want to warn you to not buy this stand mixer. It's made really cheap. the one I bought lasted about a year with light use, the motor failed. I recommend KitchenAid.
1562873
Yes, I had no problems with it. I actually bought it as a 2nd mixer. I have a big Kitchen Aide and needed another because I bake so much. I used it quite often until I accidentally knocked the hand held part off the counter and it broke into about 3 pieces. :(

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I think it was 90 days but I have had not one issue with my mixer in all the years I have had it! Works beautifully!

Same issue with mine. Perhaps just the normal byproduct of the motor's internal moving/grinding parts. Honestly, thisnis my 2nd Blendtec. 1st one burned out after ~650 cycles. I'm no longer enthralled with this product. should have just saved $$ and went with a Ninja.
