How many speed settings does this thing have? I'm concerned about batter flying everywhere due to high starting velocity using the whisk attachment.

It has two speed settings:regular and turbo. Don't worry you'll be fine. Braun is my favorite brand!

There are 12 speed settings. I bought it for my wife to replace a 20 year old Braun unit. She loves it!

It is adjustable from slow to very fast by using the large dial on top. Making batter should be no problem.

It has 12 settings and a turbo button. I love it but I only rarely use it for mixing batter as the whisk is very fine wire. I have another mixer for cakes etc. I mainly use it as a blender which it is perfect for.

The variable speed gives you the range much like the multiple settings on a typical blender (Stir, Chop, Mix, Puree, Liquefy). You can also start out slowly and then turn it up as you go along to ultimately emulsify the contents. It works great for smoothies, which is mainly why I bought it. I like it, but it would be a personal preference thing, depending upon how you plan to use it. It definitely gives you more versatility.

it only has one speed but it does have a setting how strong you want to put a screw in so it doesn't trip the head of the screw. But for around the house it is a great tool to have. I've even drilled hole in a fresh cut tree stump with it. to put a tree stump medicine in it to get rid of it and that was pretty tough to dill but it did the job. well i hope this helps you.

It does not have 2 speeds, it has a stronger power than a 1.5hp. It kept my pool very clean but broke after 3 months. Make sure you get a warranty and sell backs up the product.

It has 3 speeds, and plenty of power. The higher the speed, the more you have to be careful about splattering. But I have only used it for soup. They say ice is ok. I'm very happy with the blender.

The lowest speed is quite powerful so it does the trick for most mixing. I guess it could be nice to have one more setting that was a little slower but I haven't found that to be the case in my last two hand mixers. This is a great mixer and I am happy with my purchase!

The beater blade attachment is the open flat paddle style that works great for cake batter and most things like that. I find myself using the whisk attachment more often just as a matter of preference.

I haven't personally done it, but I believe so. I used it when I was in a hurry once and made mashed/whipped potatoes. It was actually faster than using the regular beaters.

It's louder when you use the baloon whisk, but not the other whisk, it works very good with dough and buttercreme icing. I like this mixer.

It has 2 blades and a whisk. This is exactly why we bought it. We bought it to make our own organic baby food. Since the baby is only 3 mths. old I have only used it to make hummus and whip eggs for a frittata. So far so good. I have no doubt it will mash my sweet potatoes as well as it did the garbanzo beans.

Two speeds, [hi & low]. It weighs a little over a pound, [with wand attachment].

I highly recommend it! Just add flour slowely but a must if using highly speeds. The only thing you can't use it with is the dough hook but that is slow speed. I consider it an essential piece of the mixer.

two egg beaters, single whisk and a device that I think is a small blender on a rod... probably used like a hand blender... can't really say; never used it.

I don't have the whisk attachment, I use the main attachment to scramble eggs, make malts, puree. I have used it to whi cream putting it in a chilled deep bowl

I believe the manufacturer had a 60 mph softball rating and 80 mph for baseball.. its a good pitching machine. Just like the Juggs machine used by many high school teams. Make sure to use dimpled balls for safety reasons, if you use regular balls it has a tendency to pitch them all over the place at high speed setting.

It has a low speed but why would you want to mix dry ingredients with the mixer?It would be better with a whisk

speed button is forward and backward, but honestly, I did end up having to trash it, as the piece that held the beaters must have cracked and they stopped spinning. I ended up buying the chk-7 which I like even better than this one, because it has the initial slower start when turning it on, and also had more speeds. I've had the second one longer than the first lasted. (it's been just about 2 years on the second type)No batter getting into the fan at all, other than if I accidentally dropped it. I did love the mixer while it lasted, just wish it lasted longer, and again, I prefer the better model.
