Best price for the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324
Full Review of the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324
The name Kenwood conjures up an expensive, top of the range mixer which has to live on the worktop as it is so huge. The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 is a neat little thing that has all the build quality that the name implies, but without the size or the pretty hefty price tag.
The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 in use
The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 has a really nifty innovation which I have never seen before on a hand mixer and it solves a problem that I have always moaned about. It has a spring clip to store the beaters when the mixer is not in use so when you find your Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 in the cupboard, you have found your beaters as well. It wont save me years of my life, but it will certainly stop me moaning about it.
This mixer is easy to use and light on the hand. It did develop a bit of shake on the top speed, but I liked the slower one; it was just right for folding flour or melted chocolate without covering you from head to foot as some of the more powerful mixers can do. The fastest speed of the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 is more than ample for whipping egg whites. The dough hooks are quite well designed and on the lowest speed the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 mixes wholemeal breads nicely without breaking up all the good bits.
Black is back in the kitchen
For a while, all kitchen equipment came in black and it was not a good finish to keep clean, showing finger marks and flour alike. The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 however has been finished in a keep clean black which is easy to wipe and restore back to its new look shine, with no finger marks. Speaking personally, I am not much bothered by the off fingerprint in my kitchen, but if you buy a glossy black gadget, it is nice to know that it will stay that way, so thanks Kenwood for giving some thought to that.
Ergonomics and other design thoughts
The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 has quite a small hole for the handle, but then I have quite small hands, so I dont care. There is a shaped grip which again I seem to be the right shape for, but you should hear my son and husband whinge. Perhaps Kenwood werent thinking about the men when they designed the handle of the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324. Other design features are great, though including the already mentioned clip for holding the beaters or dough hooks in storage. That is such a great idea and should be found more often.
Recommending the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324
I already have recommended the Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324, to a friend whose daughter is off to college and to another one who has just had a funky minimalist kitchen installed. The student wont lose the beaters and the minimalist will not stress out that her Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 doesnt match the worktops, so it is ideal all round.

The Kenwood Black Three Speed Hand Mixer HM324 is inexpensive, but that is really the only good thing that I can say about it. It doesn’t have a lot of power. Furthermore it doesn’t mix cakes and cookie dough very well. I expect more from a Kenwood product. I am highly disappointed with this machine.
