I just returned a mixer due to the slowest speed would splatter the liquid out of the bowl and onto your blouse. How is this one?

Can't speak for the mixer itself (yet), but you can jury-rig a paper plate to act as a splash guard very easily, just cut in from the side and cut out an opening for the beaters near the actual unit. If it gets cumbersome just use a piece of tape to stick the plate to the hand unit. Just my two cents :)

I have the same problem. The slow speed it way too fast for a cake mix, and normally a "middle" speed is what you use for that. This one can NEVER blend dry ingredients and is way too fast for wet ingredients. When it starts on low speed, the liquids are thrown to the edge of the bowl and whirl around like a tornado! The ingredients hardly touch the beaters because the ingredients are moving way too fast at the outer edges of the bowl.

Just curious if you ever found a good mixer with a slow speed? I'm still hunting for one.

I really like it - it was in my mind, a good value. I have a habit of using a deep bowl and setting it in the kitchen sink when using the hand mixer - that way, most splatters are contained within the sink and not on the counter tops. I also wear an apron when I am baking.

Honestly, this one is probably not much better in that regard. I have simply taken to using a bigger bowl than necessary to contain any possible splatters. Other than that, I really do like this mixer. It has more guts than my last one.

i have the same problem with this one and hate it. the slowest speed is too darn fast!

It was likely overloading the motor, I love my Kitchen Aid mixer but I have been beyond disappointed in the food processor. I tried to make peanut butter and it couldn't hack it the motor kept stopping. I had a cheapy $40 food processor before this one and it was better than this. Good luck, have you had any luck trying to slice veggies without them all getting stuck up in the lid?

My wife has only used her's one time so far. But it seemed to mix up everything very well. Just saw a mixer attatchment that has like rubber spoon edges on the mixer. That might even be better. Good luck!

It does start kind of fast, but I start it in spurts until things are started then I can let it go. But I have not had any trouble with it splattering all over.

I combined it with molasses and it worked well. I also used a bowl mixer due to the volume I used. It is too thick for a beater mixer.

The KSM90 was among those listed for this product when I ordered it. I've only used mine a few times and find that it works best for adding liquids rather than dry ingredients. Maybe I'm just really messy, but I didn't think it really helped too much with avoiding spilling things. Hope this helps.

It does start slower than full on. Another reviewer thought that it didn't start slow enough but my last mixer started full on and I definitely see a difference in this one.
678959
Yes, exactly. I'm thinking of using just one beater to see if it helps keep the splattering down.

The lowest speed was too fast for me. You cannot possibly premix with it. The batter would fly all around :). I thought that the mixer was also a bit too heavy to hold. Another reason for me to return it is that I didn't feel in control of the mixing process. I wonder if it may have been due to the fact that the mixer is heavy..... Please let me know if you have more questions.

I have used my Oster mixer at the slowest speed many times and have never had any problems with it throwing ingredients out. One reason I picked this Oster mixer was due to the good reviews for the slowest speed (unlike reviews for similarly priced, equipped mixers). The only somewhat negative comment I can make about this mixer is that it takes a little getting used to moving the speed button sideways. And, as you change speeds, there's a pause for just a nanosecond before the new speed takes over. I'm generally very pleased with this mixer at all speeds!

This mixer has 5 speeds of very very slow. I think this is only good for stirring the cream into the coffee so ........would work for you

Don't buy either, IMHO. I wanted one for years and finally bought an Artisan, though I only use them for family dinners.On its 5th or 6th use, it dumped grease oil in the food. Just sitting, it started dripping oil, and the gears started sounding distressed.KitchenAid support said this is normal. They said I should run the mixer every couple weeks. On average, over 3 calls to customer support, they indicated it was normal for the gear grease to separate and drip into food.

I would say yes if you're using meaty tomatoes like romas and pulse slowly rather than just turn it on. The blade is so sharp that it wouldn't take much to turn it into tomato juice if you just ran it. Like every other food processer, it will leak around the shaft if there is too much liquid in the bowl (voice of experience!). I have done this for other things (omelets for one) and it works very well... onions and peppers in first chopped to a little bigger than I really want it, then the romas, pulsed one or 2 times and then it's ready to go. I think this is one of the best food processers out there and the price makes it doubly good! I would say yes if you're using meaty tomatoes like romas and pulse slowly rather than just turn it on.

I have never had this mixer not do well on any kind of mixing. The high speed can take on anything. My daughter has a large kitchen aid but this does as well on most all things.

It is a bit slow but does the trick. I've made a very large quantity of potatoes without issue. Hope this helps.

I have been very happy with my mixer. I did purchase a beater than has the rubber "spatula" finish on it that works great to scrape the bowl as you mix.

When I used a mixer, it removed the red coloring from the bowl. Basically it scratched up the sides of the bowl.
