Philips Hand Mixer HR3705 300W with 5 Speeds and 2 Attachments

Our review

This is a corded hand mixer from Philips, model HR3705, built around a 300W motor with five speed settings. It ships with two attachments: dough hooks for kneading, mixing and whisking, and strip beaters for lighter work. The body is black, the cord runs 1.2 metres, and it operates on 220-240V, which suits Tanzanian mains. A cord clip keeps the cable tidy in storage, and a large eject button releases the beaters with one touch.
It suits home bakers who mix cake batter, whisk eggs or cream, and knead small batches of dough without pulling out a stand mixer. If you regularly knead heavy bread dough in large quantities, a stand mixer or a more powerful hand mixer is worth comparing. Before buying, check that your kitchen has a socket within reach of the 1.2m cord, and confirm the attachments included match what you plan to make. Compare speed count, wattage and attachment type against other hand mixers in the same class.
