Bomann, one of the unquestionable leaders in the test, fell in love with the boldness of its character, which is ensured by high whipping speeds and power, and therefore its confident behaviour with all products. It is impossible not to note the thoughtful design, which in details constantly helps the hostess in her troubles. The mixer’s whisk attachments are wire whisk attachment, simple in shape, flat on the bottom, and are solidly made. The appliance comes with a blender, designed for chopping small portions of food. The body is made of shiny white plastic, the bottom, base, control panel is gray-blue. The shape of the mixer is bionic.

TEST NO 1. PROTEIN WHIPPING
Assessment – 7
The test showed that the mixer is very handy with whites: the mass turned out great, dense and snow-white, one of the three best in quality. But the height of foam is not good enough.
The model was the fourth fastest, giving way to the leader in only 14 seconds.
TEST NO 2. MASHED POTATOES
Score – 10
I liked very much how the mixer managed to mash potatoes, the character of device is arduous, whipping is intensive, whiskers work well, therefore the mass quickly becomes homogeneous and fluffy.
The Turbo mode literally lifts it up, filling it even more with air, and that’s the maximum score.
TEST #3. TEST
Rated 8
The mixer is one of the two leaders in this part of the test. He, as the owner of a high first speed, did a good job of mixing the dough components and kneaded his batch beautifully. Showed one of the best results on the second stage of the test.
Pie dough kneaded well – very confident, no loss of speed. But on the bread and it has difficulties, the springs start to get stuck in it and lose speed.
The dough hooks are divided into right and left, they are made of a thick bar.
CONTROL
Assessment – 10
Five speeds and a turbo mode that can be used as needed to noticeably speed up the rotation of the whiskers. The control box is wide and the lever is easy to grasp with the finger. The choice of speed is made with fixed positions and a noticeable click.
The turbo and whisk flip buttons are placed almost close to the regulator, there is no need to intercept in order to press them, they are very well positioned.
The whisk flip function is blocked when the speed is selected.
FUNCTIONAL
Rated 5
The mixer runs at 250 watts of power at fairly brisk speeds. Duration of operation without a pause is 5 minutes, to include more than 1 minute Turbo mode is not recommended by the way, only the manufacturer Bomann announced this parameter, others are silent . The device gets 3 points for all indicators, plus additional points for Turbo mode and blender.
Let’s test the effectiveness of the blender, make a sauce. Let’s take a tomato, paprika and a garlic clove and cut them into large pieces quarters to make it more difficult for the blender. To work, I take a tall plastic cup this is the measure , fill with food, turn on the first speed. I put a blender in a glass, vegetables are turned into a puree in a few moments, all the pulp is chopped, and very evenly, the garlic too.
For the sake of purity of the experiment I strained the sauce through a sieve – the rest was pepper skins and tomato seeds. Rated “excellent”. Confirm that this blender is convenient for making small amounts of dressings, sauces, purees, it is important only to choose a dish with a diameter slightly larger than that of the nozzle.
ERGONOMICS
Assessment – 6
Despite its largest size and weight the mixer is surprisingly handy, it fits like a glove. The extended handle with recesses for fingers and the well-located center of gravity help in this. The device does not get the maximum performance, because it is not so easy to maneuver with it for a long time.
COMFORT
Assessment – 4
Again the device did not get the highest mark, but only because of its size: it is not limited to a small corner of the storage cabinet. Otherwise it is one of the best.
We checked the stability of the heel as usual, the blender did not misfire, it did not wobble like a pallet and stayed upright. The bottom of the mixer is wide with a skirting and legs so you won’t be able to drop it.
The wire is long, it will not be difficult to choose a workplace in the kitchen with it. When storing, the wire wraps around the body, aided by the holder and notches on the bottom.
NOISE LEVEL
Score of 1
It is not a silent mixer, but the sound it emits when it works is soft and has no high notes, so it is not disturbing.
Advantages: it works very, very intensely. Very ergonomic, fits like a glove in your hand. Can also work as a blender.
Disadvantages: it is a bit large. The mixer has a good, high-quality motor that delivers a respectable 250 watts. This increases the size and weight accordingly.
I’m considering purchasing the BOMANN HM 359 CB hand mixer and I’m curious about its performance. Can anyone who has already used this mixer please share their experience? How efficient is it in terms of mixing batter and dough? Is it durable and easy to clean? Any feedback and insights would be greatly appreciated before I make my decision. Thank you!
