I have searched all prevous reviews (2) to find info about the speed settings on my new Kenwood HD 320. Even at the slowest speed it is much too fast to begin beating anything! The walls of my kitchen bear testament to this. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or do I need to contact the manufacturer? Its a lovely design and Which magazine does give it best buy status but I shall need to buy another if this is normal. I just couldn't live without one of these in my kitchen and can imagaine having to ask for each model to be switched on so that I can measure the speed at the slowest setting. Both previous reviewers alude in different ways to the speed and yet I ..  Read the complete review

One of the most useful gadgets in my kitchen is my Kenwood hand held mixer. I like to bake and always use my mixer for making cakes, biscuits and pastry. I have had it for about 2 years now and it is used on a very regular basis. I bought my mixer from Argos and paid around £20-fantastic value!

Growing up I spent a lot of time baking with my mum and sisters, we had a large family and liked to throw tea parties or Birthday celebrations, marking most celebrations in this way. I learnt the joys of baking my own cakes from a very young age and decided that when I was older and had my own family I would carry on the tradition and hopefully teach my own children just like my mum taught me. When I moved into my own home with my husband we were inundated with various household items as housewarming gifts and one of those items was the Kenwood HM320 Hand Mixer, one of the few items I had specifically requested. As my children have grown old enough to understand the ...  Read the complete review

When my birthday came round last year and friends asked me what I wanted as a gift I surprised the lot of them. I wanted a hand mixer, not a big food processor, not a blender, a cheap and cheerful, simple hand mixer. They fell about laughing. I can’t blame them. The reason behind my request was a simple one. On the odd occasion I actually cook or bake I used a whisk and I was getting tired (quite literally) of putting in the muscle-power. The Kenwood HM320 (‘HM’ I guess stands for hand mixer) came in a neat box. I was surprised to find that only the minimum amount of cardboard box was used. Everything was tightly packed and there was no wastage. The ...  Read the complete review

I bought this Kenwood hand mixer from Debenhams for £24.99. as I have had nothing but problems with another Kenwood mixer I bought. (I will do a review on that mixer as well at a later date). I do a lot of cake baking and have been using my hand whisk because my old mixer wasn't much cop, using this mixer makes it a breeze. I also make frosting to put on cupcakes and this mixer is just amazing for this. There are three speed settings, which can be changed by the switch at the top; the settings however are not much different to each other. I have found that if you are going to mix ingredients that are quite powdery (icing sugar, flour etc) giving the ...  Read the complete review
