Disapointing Aug 07, 2008
By K. Hertz
Oster is one of my favorite kitchen appliances brands, but unfortunately this mixer is below average. Key for any mixer is its speed control, and this one hardly seems to have any. It almost starts at full speed, which implies that more liquid mixtures end up all over the place except your mixing bowl. Conclusion: I do not recommend the purchase of this product.

 Speed control?? Mar 12, 2011
By Balana Leona
I was excited to finally have an electric mixer. This thing is powerful, for sure, but the lowest speed is already going full tilt! If you need to cover yourself and your possessions in flour, have at it. Otherwise, avoid this piece of junk!

Great for high speed; Bad for anything else Dec 27, 2010
By Melissa J. Burton
I was excited to order this mixer because of the retractable cord and the strong motor. Unfortunately, though it says it has six speeds those six speeds are actually high, higher, very high, ultra high, extremely high, and most high of all. Though it's great for whipping cream or beating egg white, you cannot mix anything at low or medium speed. At first I thought I could live with it, but I can't. I'm going to buy a different mixer. I do not recommend this to anyone unless you want two mixers also.

 Great mixer for cookie dough Aug 27, 2010
By wldgrdnr
Although I agree about the power, it is the ONLY mixer I have ever found that will do oatmeal raisin cookies with ease...with some practice you CAN keep things from going all over...with flour you are supposed to add no more than 1/3 at a time anyway...I use the mixer a bit, then scrape sides with spatula, then mix again...mixing in brief spurts is the key here...
Since I rarely use my mixer for anything other than cookies, and especially oatmeal raisin cookies...although I just did some zucchini bread and had no trouble...
Use a deep bowl with steep sides for mixing...that is what you are supposed to use anyway to control things from spattering. I am a serious cook and love this thing...my complaint with other mixers is NO power, especially with cookie doughs.
I am buying 2 more...one for my other house and one for a gift...
Those who have trouble with the speeds, try my suggestions above, and I think you'll be happier with it...but I do agree, Oster needs to work on the power issue a bit with this one...there really is no difference between high and low...I have not tried this on anything more complex like a souffle or a flan, but I imagine it will do quite well.
I bought this because I HATE my (EXPENSIVE) Kitchenaid, which I find pretty worthless, and I find the attachments for grinding and other things even MORE worthless...In my mind, the Kitchenaid products (I have a food processor too which I am not fond of) are over hype and not worth the money they ask for them. Were they not so expensive, I would toss them both out.
I recommend this mixer for anyone who is a cookie baker...and I'll try this soon on flans and such.
Anybody want to buy a professional kitchenaid with every attachment known to man? LOL I hate the thing. Totally worthless in my opinion.

Variation in speed no longer working...Too Fast Mar 09, 2011
By S. Sappington
At first I was pleased with this inexpensive mixer, but within a few months I noticed that it no longer had much variation between its low and high speed. The low speed is so fast now that I am unable to mix anything without splattering my counter and walls. It's especially bad when there is flour in the mix. If you don't completely work the flour in by hand you are guaranteed to have it flying all over. Will be buying a different mixer today. It's too bad it had this problem because I did appreciate the retractable cord, weight of the product and the ease with which the beaters were put in and out.
