Bosch CleverMixx MFQ3030GB Hand Mixer

I cannot believe that I have been raving about a hand mixer but this one is amazing. I previously had a great John Lewis one with the same sort of thin blades but it stopped working after years of use. Having hunted high and low for something similar I gave up and purchased a cheap as chips Cookworks mixer from Sainsbury's - so bad it wouldn't even stand up on its base, made a right old racket, but at least did some mixing. I finally decided enough was enough when I knew I had got to whisk a recipe for 8 - 10 minutes. A quick search revealed that there is now another available option in this Bosch hand mixer with the thin blades. Other reviews were saying how quiet it is but I was just looking at the brand, always reliable, and the blades. I put it to the test last weekend and it was honestly astonishing. I could hardly tell it was on. Even at full speed it was only making a reasonable noise. And of course lower noise equals fewer vibrations through the hand and arm. Such a pleasure to use and did a fine job of whisking the rather delicious gf brownies for a family birthday. I cannot recommend highly enough - it's quiet, efficient, stands up, comes with dough hooks as well as the thin blades. Would buy another in an instant!

Light and THE quietest hand mixer ive ever owned!. Wasnt use about beaters being so thin but it works perfectly. Wont use dough hooks but would recommend. Perfect

After much researching for a replacement for my old Russell Hobbs hand mixer that has served me faithfully for 20 years or so, I choose this Bosch as there was nothing in the instruction booklet for this model that said that this mixer could only be used for 5 minutes at a time (most others do!!) The first thing I noticed on removing it from the box that it's much lighter than my old mixer so I plugged it in to give it a whirl!! Surprisingly quiet (how wonderful) then I noticed that it only had 4 speeds (totally overlooked that as my old one had 5!!) I tried out each setting and although there is an increase in speed with each one, the top setting didn't seem fast enough to quickly get a lot of air whisked into egg whites. Plus, my favourite genoise sponge recipe calls for mixing at "half speed" and only having a choice of 4 speeds makes it difficult to know which speed to use!! I wasn't sure about the plastic tips on the beaters and dough hooks and wondered if over the course of time the plastic would crack or the holes into which they go, also made of plastic might suffer the same fate. Even though this isn't a very expensive hand mixer and I certainly don't expect it to last me 20 years or so, I decided to send it back as I really need 5 speeds to make sure my recipe works!! If speed isn't an issue, this is light and quiet so you won't get arm ache or a headache!!

I bought this to replace an old, cheap mixer that finally gave up, and the difference in quality is obvious. For the price, it is excellent value. It has that classic, sturdy Bosch build without being excessively heavy or awkward to hold. It is very straightforward to use, and the 400W motor has plenty of power for everyday baking and whipping cream without sounding like it is straining. The attachments click in securely and pop out easily with the release button. If you just want a reliable, no-nonsense hand mixer that gets the job done, you can't go wrong with this one.

Very nice and light. Just did the dough for bread not sure if that way should be. However at first did by hands if not it would take ages to mix it. I did for 5min and motor didn't get even warm. Definitely recommended

I've never had such a quiet hand mixer in my life before, absolute value for money, now I can make a cake in the morning without waking the whole house up. Highly recommend!

I've had a few mixers over the years for baking and this is probably the worst. I have given it 3 stars because it does mix well enough for me to make cakes and scones etc. however it is a very slow mixer that I have to use on full power at all times!. Plus, the button to release the mixing utensils is very stiff so it's hard to detach the utensils from the mixer. It works but not very well, it's certainly not an easy or friction-less mixing tool. The end results are the same, I just don't like the mixer. I don't feel I can return it because I have used for a while now so I'm stuck with it!

I tried two mixers before this one and rejected them on the basis that even on the lowest speed the cake mixture flirted all over the walls. This does the job nicely and I like the slow start. It doesn’t seem all that robust but it’s still doing the job after a year or so.

Light and oh so easy to use, quiet and doesn't get hot while in use. Its a pity an Australian 3 pin plug is not available, we are making do with an adapter, it mixes a variety of cakes with ease, very happy with the purchase.

Good product and quiet

Light and handy

It's super light compared to my russel hobbs, but way too weak for 400W. Very disappointed. I expected more from Bosch. I don't have any issue with the plastic material which makes the mixer look cheap, but very upset with the power. It took me ages to whip cream, and the cream didn't even get thick after more than 5 mins mixing at the maximum power :((( I have just used it once, and already think about buying a new one

Good mixer, light and powerful has slow start speed it handy. However this mixer comes with UK plug and no au adapter be aware.
