I have a KitchenAid 9 speed hand mixer with two wire beater attachments. What advantage does the Braun have over this for beating egg whites? (I think, although I'm not positive, that I can use the KitchenAid with just one beater attachment, if I choose. I'm not sure what the wattage is my hand mixer, but one reviewer said it is 72 watts.)

The Braun ( made in Japan ) is the Cadillac and the Kitchen Aid is a Volkswagen.

I've had no problem beating 2 eggs in a cereal bowl. It beats them in a shallow bowl but I like to use them in a little deeper bowl because it reduces spillage because of the shallow depth. You get a lot of beating speed with very little effort out of this beater. I would not be without one of the OXO egg beaters.

This is a 700 watt motor, and is usually priced at $500!!!! Very comparable to kitchen aid. The HB only has a 350 watt motor. This one is very hi tech. I has 2 seperate motors. 1 that runs the beaters (mixes the stiffest dough-no problem. The other motor runs the bowl turner. GO FOR THIS ONE DEFINITELY!!!!

I have this and the Nuwave (the infomercial I think you're referring to). The Nuwave is bigger and much more powerful and cooks about 20% - 30% faster than the Sunpentown SO-2002. The Sunpentown seems better built (ie, glass bowl). FWIW, I use the Nuwave and love it. The Sunpentown is in reserve should the Nuwave break. It CAN cook multiple items but they all need to be on the same rack and you need to know cooking times for different items to know when to put them in the oven. They need to be on the same rack so as to get direct heat. If you use multiple levels the lower levels take FOREVER to cook as they don't get direct heat.

Our oldest Bosch mixer was a wedding present 34 years ago. It has mixed everything from bread to candy to things we probably should not have mixed with it. We use it heavily every week. Still have and use the original bowl as well as the original motor, plastics, switches etc. Have broken the wire whips but that was because we mixed what we should not have with them. We retired our original one to use at our cabin and bought a new one. Got tired of hauling it back and forth. You can order a metal bowl online.

It has more torque (measured in horsepower instead of watts), the three attachments are much larger and much heavier (they feel like they weigh about 5 times as much as the ones that come with the residential models. Also the bowl is much bigger than any of the bowls for the residential mixers.

I think the beater blade works great. It doesn't completely clean the bowl every single time, you do have to scrape from time to time, but not nearly as much as I used to have to scrape the bowl with my KA mixer. With the KA mixer I really needed a third party beater blade. With this one, I have not felt the need. I haven't had to scrape nearly as much with this one. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mixer. I use it every single day sometimes twice a day. Awesome!

Egg whites increase in volume about eight times. There are approximately eight egg whites in a cup. The 4 quart bowl on the mixer should be plenty large enough. The plastic bowl has not been a problem although it will take a bit longer than glass or stainless. You can buy a stainless steel bowl but they are pricey. If you want a mixer than can handle heavy dough then the Bosch is the way to go. If you never mix heavy dough then a 40 or 50 dollar mixer is all you need. The Bosch mixer has been far nicer than I ever imagined!

M.Wallace, there are a number of beater's that are for this mixer - i.e. General mixing, whisk type, one for bread, etc. and probably more are available. I'd check with KitchenAid.com to view all that's available. This is a great mixer!

I find it pretty quiet for a hand mixer, but it is powerful, even set at the lowest speed. If you're okay with that than I would recommend it. I'm happy with mine and I've learned to handle the power with a few minor tricks.

My Bosch mixer is wonderful on mixing cake batters, angelfood cakes, etc. The way the beaters work, it takes less time than other mixers, and the batter comes out more light and fluffy. I love, love love my Bosch, and am so glad I have it. I can also make two loaves of bread and have it ready to place in the pans, in less than ten minutes. You should really buy one, you will not be sorry V. Anderson

Sorry...my kitchen aid is old as sin, model K4555. The beater does great w/this model and yes I did have doubt when I ord it but it worked great If this site recommended a prat for your use, go for it.

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 just checked my mixer (Bosch Compact mum4405)... 400 watts is correct and I agree with the other reviewers. This is plenty of power. I like the compact machine much better than my previous cast iron mixer which was very heavy (and less powerful). The Bosch fits well inside my kitchen cabinet and it's easy to lift and to set up. I bake more often now and have reclaimed much needed space in my pantry, which was the only place where my previous mixer would fit.

I prefer the more powerful ones like the 9280. I bought my daughter one also. It is well worth the money..
