The Black & Decker PowerPro 250-Watt Mixer MX350 is a powerful and efficient mixer, with a lightweight, easy-to-use design.

The Comfort Grip handle and the compact design of the PowerPro make for easy mixing that doesn't tire your wrist during long mixing jobs. This mixer also has a head rest and a bowl rest, which let you to set down the mixer, without fear of tipping, when you need to add extra ingredients or give the batter a stir. The thumb-operated control switch is conveniently located on the top front of the mixer and lets you quickly access any of the mixer's five speeds.

The powerful 250-watt motor maintains its speed with any light to medium batter and even holds its own with stiffer doughs. The five-speed settings, combined with a power boost button (for a quick burst of speed at any setting), enable the PowerPro to beat through anything from whipped cream to thick cookie dough. It can cream butter within a minute, and has enough power to fluff ricotta cheese in seconds. Such a powerful motor, however, makes even the lowest speeds on this mixer a bit too much for slow stirring or blending tasks.

The Black & Decker PowerPro mixer comes with two chrome-plated beaters, two professional-style wire whisks, and a spatula attachment to scrape the sides of the bowl as you go. The accessories are stored neatly in a handy case that is also included. We found that both the beaters and whisks performed with expert efficiency and seemed especially well suited to their advertised tasks. The spatula attachment, although sturdy, functional and handy for specialized tasks, has limited flexibility and made the mixer a bit harder to maneuver.

Overall, the Black & Decker PowerPro 250-watt Mixer MX350 is well suited for any high speed mixing or blending task.


Pros: Lightweight design adds ease and comfort during use, powerful motor makes short work of high speed mixing tasks
Cons: Spatula attachment is stiff and a bit difficult to maneuver, lowest speeds a bit too fast for some stirring and gentle mixing tasks
