Are the beaters stainless or chrome? Also, would you consider this a heavy duty mixer--good for pound cakes?

The beaters are chrome-plated. You need to contact the manufacturer concerning using on pound cakes.

I bought this cake stand for my daughter's baby shower. WE had a huge cake on it- enough to feed 60 people. I think it is stainless steel. My friend, who made the cake and makes cakes for occasions, loved it and I gave it to her. She has used it once already for a wedding cake and loved it to use!

yes the bowl is stainless as well. That was one of the big reasons we purchased it. It's been a win win machine for us, turning out1/2 dozen batches a week. without the added horrible fillers of conventional ice creams

Mixer with beaters is not 7 pounds. The mixer is lighter than our old one. Not tiring unless using for prolonged times.

I think it is for the price. It's a good sturdy mixer. I've had my own cake decorating business. and I need a high speed mixer this one fits the bill. It is a good mixer can't find any fault with it,.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

To be honest, I haven't tested the rack out with heavy cakes yet, but it's well constructed-light, but very sturdy. I'll give it another test with heavier items if you like.

I don't know what they are made of, but I have replaced them three times. The mixer is great the beaters not so much.

While I don't own this particular set of pots, I have experience with other non-stick pots and pans. If your electric mixer beaters are metallic and accidentally make contact with the pot's interior surfaces, scarring and damage will result, something my husband didn't realize and did to one of my pots while whipping potatoes (guess the flaked up finish ended up in the food). I personally don't recommend the practice for that reason, even with plastic coated beaters.

Hi Crystal-I have only used this mixer to make cream cheese frosting. It does well on the mixing part but beware that if you put too much powdered sugar in at once it will POOF out of the openings (there is a small space between the bowl and the splatter guard). I made a cake in it last night. I am very happy with this mixer. I use it to make my own bread. It is not a strong enough or big enough mixer to make a 3 loaf recipe.

Beaters and paddles are the same meaning to me. Can you be a little more specific on what you are mixing? If its bread your making use the hooks. Amazon has lots of beaters and paddles to choose from. Sorry i cant help.

It is stainless, almost looks like a chromed stainless. Easy to clean unit as well. I love this machine!

I love mynKitchenaid Pro-600. Hated the hand mixer, just because of those stupid wire beaters....I am going to look for a vintage Sunbeam with thenflat beaters. I bought a Cucina Roma Hand mixer becauseit had flat beaters...its a piece of Chinese Junk

I think it is chrome plated and so far it hasn't rusted but it's been my experience that these always eventually rust. However, I'm very hard on them I use them in the oven and put them in the dishwasher but I still get a couple of years of use. Also this one is nice because it fits inside of the half sheet pan and it was also pretty cheap.

To be perfectly honest, if you plan to continue beating egg whites with an electric mixer, you'd be better suited for stainless steel. Copper is too soft and will most certainly scratch. The bowl design is perfect for whipping whites into peaks easily with a hand whisk.
