Had it for 5 years, awesome

I bought one of these way back in 2010. I used it solidly for 5 years - at least 3 times a week, so 700+ times. Mainly for bread and cakes. Never had a problem with it. I treated it quite badly, mixing some very strong doughs etc.
I've just bought a BEM800 to replace it, in fact this old BEM400 is still going buy I'm giving it to a friend.Show reply

useless

I purchased in March in a combo deal from Target. Went to use it today and machine made a terrible noise starting rattling all over bench then started smoking, this is after about 30 seconds I was going to beat butter and sugar. I am not a huge baker which is why I opted for a not so expensive machine, but still figured I should get more than a couple of uses and longer than 9 months out of machine, will be returning back to Target this afternoon, to see if can get a refund. the scales in the combo lasted as long. Lesson learned, going to go back to electric hand beaters
appeared to be a good deal at the time
now it works out expensive for the amount of use i got

Worn out in 16 months

Started making a grating whir noise in the lower gears and is getting worse. Have had the mixer for 2 years and don't use it more than every two to three weeks for mixing buttercream or a cake. Thought I would look for some reviews and sounds like the same thing has happened to many people. Very disappointing as it wasn't a cheap mixer! I would strongly suggest to people looking for a mixer - to keep looking... Wish I had found this site earlier :(

Great value

Ok so this was my second one they have both done the gearbox. I do bake and use it a lot so value but I need a heavier duty mixer. Easy to use and great to clean. Love it but not for my needs now. The mixer needs to have a stronger motor and gearbox and no more scraper beater as that is what has broken this one from pushing it up on the lid.
Use was great clean and easy to swap blades.
The gearbox and the weight.

Baking made easy

Baking is so easy with this Wizz Mix Pro - It's got a good motor, many speeds, comes with 2 different sized mixing bowls. I went from using a hand held mixer to this and it's certainly made baking a lot more enjoyable. I've only had it for 4 months but I can't find any faults so far.
Easy to use, 2 mixing bowls, inexpensive compared to what you can pay for a mixer

My best friend in the kitchen :)

I have had the Breville Planetary Mixer now for 3 months, I am always looking for an excuse to whip it out and bake something. Put your ingredients in and stand back and marvel at this work horse in action. Everything about this machine is solid. Although the only issue I do have is the plastic splash guard which I find is quite flimsy in comparison to the other attachments, and a little clumsy to attach.

Motor siezed after 14 months

I thought this was a good mixer until the motor seized whilst making a batch of buttercream after only having the mixed for 14 months. I used it a fair bit for cake mixes but it certainly should have lasted longer than 14 months. Of course no longer under warranty. I will definitely be investing in a KitchenAid in the future and would not by a Breville mixer again
The scraper beater
Didn't last long enough

Bad

Wasn't impressed with this at all and I'm glad it's gone so I can get a new one, would never buy Breville again after using this.

I was sorry I bought this from the very first time I used it. I found it just dreadfull for reaching the bottom of the bowl and was forever having to lift and scrape. After a couple of years it started only going at the one speed and then eventally died before it could reach 3 years old. I'd had a Sunbeam before this that lasted me nearly 10 years.

Misled customers

Bought this mixer, first one had burnt motor after 2 months. Had a replacement and burnt down again after 2 years of moderate use.

The motor warranty only covers the part NOT LABOUR!

Thus, I decided to open it myself and found out the motor to be Johnson U-8835 which is rated at 283W of maximum power (Google it) NOT 700W as what has been advertised.All gears are metal. I'm not sure how this can be a legal thing to do.

I believe gearbox can only be used to increase the torque not the power itself.
Looks good
Short life

Excellent

As far as I can see it's well built looks great and has a moderate price tag. I would liked to have bought the Bem 800 but was too expensive. Breville must have listened to the feedback from the Bem400 which is great to see. It's a little noisy with the scrape beater but is a small price to pay for the fantastic job it does!

Excellent product Breville!
I have just bought the Breville Bem410 Scrape mixer. Absolutely love it! Creamed the butter and sugar beautifully, no unmixed bits left in bottom of bowl because of the great scrape mixer attachment and no mess.Also has a handle on the stainless steel bowl too. And its the same price and look as this one but with upgraded features...
None as yet..

Breville Wizz Mix - Died after 2 years

Disappointing experience. This machine is less than 3 years, hasn't had much work, and has just died on me after mixing some dough. I could live with scraping down the bowl, but the fact that it couldn't cope with a few minutes of dough mixing was disappointing.
Liked the look.
Product should have had longer life. I'd estimate that it has cost me around $10 per use!!!

Terrible

So disappointed and really do not recommend this product. I imagine if I was making double batch it may have been a bit better, but still, once the butter is up the side of the bowl, you have to stop the mixer and remove it to scrape it back.
It looked good!
I did a lot of research on mixers and decided on this as I couldn't afford a Kitchenaid. When I used it I was bitterly disappointed. 4oz of butter in the bowl and the mixer just flicked it up the side where it remained untouched. I had to keep turning it off, removing the bowl, scraping the butter and putting it back - where it would just continually get flicked immediately up the side of the bowl. After 10 minutes, I gave up and got out my old handheld beater to used that.
