Do the speed settings tell you what they're for? My old one does for creaming, adding dry ingredients etc.

Speed setting are marked with numbers only on the machine, but there is a table in the instruction manual that tells you what each number stands for. 1 = Fold-Knead, 2 = Stir, 3 = Blend, 4 = Mix, 5 = Combine, 6 = Cake Mixes, 7 = Cream, 8 = Whip, 9 = Whip/Cream, 10 = Desserts, 11 = Frostings, 12 = Egg Whites. The manual has a more in-depth explanation of each speed.

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.

Mine just has numbers. I do have to admit that it is not as well built as the older ones, but that is true of everything today. I primarily use mine for light mixing - no bread doubh. We will see how well it holds up. I have always had Sunbeams because the KitchenAids are so much more expensive.

No they don't but that would be a gret idea. It's a great machine but I wish the beaters went down into the batter deeper, if you know what I mean! They don't go down very deep so you have to spatula the batter into the beaters....kind of a nuisance but for the price, I'll do it.

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.

I bought this to do countertops on my home and have to say it works great. The variable speed is the key. Hope this helps. Mike

Mine is a little slow on the internet. One site lowered the image quality it sent to me because it detected that I have a slower speed. I have roadrunner turbo! I am going to research more to figure it out. Also considering upgrading to Vista and using a SD card to improve my processing speed. Has anyone tried that? I love this computer!

Yes! Heating speed AND program consistency. Are you also having difficulty with this? Thanks!

There are 5 different speed settings - all are GREAT ! My favorite is the "refresh" ! Our gums have never been better since we started using this 2 years ago !

This mixer has 5 speeds of very very slow. I think this is only good for stirring the cream into the coffee so ........would work for you

Not especially. In fact, when you first turn it on, while already in the bowl with the ingredients, it seemed to give a sudden burst, instead of starting up slowly as I was led to believe it would. But, at it's Slow speed, it did NOT have very much power at all, which led me to crank up the speed in order to get anything mixed (usually cookie dough or cake batters).I was quite surprised and disappointed with this mixer in general. I thought a super-duper "powerful" Cuisinart hand mixer would be great, but I guess I was wrong, and have since purchased another Kitchenaid hand mixer, which is what I had, and was happy with, for lots and lots of years before I switched.

Don't know why people are saying this is variable, I did not see any speed settings on mine but I haven't used it yet.

NO! It does work well but I have bought a new one with three speed. It is the Sucura, large, I love this one I use it everyday of my life and I never use my oven anymore.

It has two speeds but the fast speed really should be used to back the rack back up to refill. The fast speed would be to hard too turn and to hard on the gears I would think

I'm sure you have returned this by now, but I will answer any how to maybe help someone else. Speed control is internally controlled by a potentiometer (POT) for adjustability. You have to open the thing up to get to it. I had a unit that was playing in rapid speed as well, intermittently. I took it apart and this 500ohm POT was defective. I ended up replacing the POT with one I had at work along with three small wires going to where the factory POT mounted. The POT I replaced it with was not the same size. It fixed my problem and now it plays at normal speed.

Bear with me for a day or two, as I'm home and the buffer is at a different location. I'll try to have an answer for you within the next two days, but whatever RPM it runs at, it does an excellent job (especially for the low cost). Also, remember that the speed you need to be concerned about, is the speed the wheel turns at the edge of the wheel/buff. For example, a slow speed 8" grinder, at the edge of an 8" wheel, the speed is the same as a high speed (3750 RPM) 6" grinder.

Sorry, I just bought mine. I am hoping I am using proper speeds for each item I juice, especially when using the multiples. The book gives you speeds for some but not for many others. I am hoping I don't burn out mine. I will find your answered request helpful too.

I honestly don't know about the speed comparisons you're citing, or the HD connections. The person for whom I bought this machine doesn't care about either one! I'd guess "No" on the HD, but I wouldn't want my life to depend on the answer. Sorry!

I don't remember if it had a setting to change the speed or not. However the balls did come out at various angles and speeds. Keep in mind that this is a low quality product. We used it once or twice and wound up throwing it away.
