A few months ago I wrote a blog about various stand mixers that were up for auction at the time, but I did not yet write about the many hand-mixers DealDash.com now has coming up for auction.
Now I see several new hand mixers coming up for auction on DealDash and the BIN for hand mixers is much lower than it was for stand mixers. Not everyone can afford to buy a stand mixer, but hand mixers are much more affordable. Therefore, if you are looking for an affordable hand mixer, this is the time to start shopping for one.
Get busy in the kitchen with a new hand mixer!
These hand mixers come in various brand names with a low BIN of $46 for a 6-speed hand mixer, $53 for a 5-speed hand mixer and a BIN of $89 for a 9-speed hand mixer. They also come in a variety of colors.
Let’s take a look at these hand mixers.
6-speed hand mixer
The black 6-speed hand mixer with a BIN of $46 comes with 6 attachments and a snap on case. The attachments include twisted wire beaters, milkshake mixer, dough hooks and whisk.
This hand mixer has a powerful 290-watt peak power motor. One unique feature of this mixer is that it has a pulse function on the slowest speed for “less mess and added control” according to the DealDash description.
This mixer has only received two reviews, but it has an overall perfect rating of 5.00 out of a possible 5.00 so far.
5-speed hand mixer
This 5-Speed Hand Mixer with a BIN of $53 comes with 2-stainless steel Turbo beater accessories and it has a 6.5-foot lockable swivel cord, which allows freedom of motion during use.
As a fairly new auction item, which comes in red and black, it only has 4 reviews but has an overall perfect review of 5.0 out of 5.0 so far.
9-speed hand mixer
This 220-watt, white 9-speed hand mixer with a BIN of $89 comes with an awesome snap on storage case. The case holds all of the attachments including beaters, chef’s whisk, dough hooks, spatula and recipe book.
A special feature of this hand-held mixer is that it has a smooth start feature with a 9-speed LED display.
The bottom line
For more specific information, see the product descriptions in the auction listings. Any one of these hand-held mixers would make any baker happy. They would also make wonderful wedding and Christmas gifts.
Let’s all shop for the hand-held mixer of our choice.

DealDash.com is the perfect place to shop for the perfect gift. It is not too early to start shopping for that “perfect gift” because Christmas is not that far away.
To me, the perfect gift is something that gets used time and time again instead of just taking up space on the back shelf of someone’s house. DealDash has plenty of auction products that fit this description.
A work light lets you get things done – day or night!
One product that grabbed my attention is something that would provide the perfect hands-free lighting when working on many different projects.
Dual detachable work light bar
Have you ever become frustrated while working under the hood of your motor vehicle and you did not have enough light? Well, you will have no more dark spots once you have this 1200 Lumen Magnetic Dual Detachable Work-light Bar. That problem will be eliminated.
This handy-dandy light can shine light in any direction and at any angle, so you can have the light you need whenever and wherever you need it. It is made with military-grade aluminum and three magnet mechanisms will allow you to position the light and then remain hands-free to do the work that needs to be done. This light consists of two parts that are fully detachable and it features two on/off buttons. Pressing the button twice will switch to a duller light.
It measures 40.15 x 2.36 x 2.36-inches and comes with a certified charger and USB cable and tripod. It can be charged in 4 to 5 hours, and the two parts can be charged simultaneously when connected. The working time after each charge is about 3 hours (at 50 percent mode) or about 1.5 hours (at 100 percent mode).
This work-light bar has a BIN of $320. However, many previous shoppers have already won this product at bargain prices. For example:
Sept. 14, this work-light bar sold at $1.54. The winner paid a total of $6.51 including the cost of the 31 bids placed.
Sept. 13, this work-light bar sold at $5.90. The winner paid a total of $22.39 including the cost of the 109 bids placed.
Sept. 7, this auction sold at $10.31. The winner paid a total of $26.35 including the cost of the 106 bids places.
Sept. 4, this work-light bar sold at $10.23. The winner paid a total of $35.03 including the cost of the 124 bids placed.
Aug. 25, this auction sold at $7.89. The winner paid a total of $13.56 including the cost of the 52 bids placed.
Aug. 22, this work-light bar sold at $5.89. The winner paid a total of only $6.94 including the cost of the 20 bids placed.
We can see from the above examples that it’s possible for us to win this 1200 Lumen Magnetic Dual Detachable Work-light Bar at a fantastic bargain price.
Customer reviews
This auction has received 363 customer reviews, and this work-light bar received a 4.83 overall rating out of a possible 5.0 so far. That is a very good rating. Therefore, we can feel confident this is a very good product.
The bottom line
This is just one example of the many practical products we could shop for that would make an awesome Christmas gift. If we start our shopping early, we will have plenty of time to get the perfect gift for everyone on our list.
Happy shopping everyone!

To make his point, Andrews used as an example the TV that I won. Yes, I was the lady in the first TV commercial I’ve been bidding on the DealDash shopping site since Feb. 8, 2012.
Young excited couple sitting at home on comfortable sofa watching soccer play live broadcast online on their laptop cheering for their favourite team happy with the score results.
There’s a lot wrong with that article. Let me count the ways.
In the Early Days
When the company was just getting started and they were still fairly small, it was a lot easier to win bargains because there was not much competition. However, now that DealDash has grown into a much larger company, you have to know what you’re doing, and many shoppers do not have the foggiest idea how to shop on this site to win.
Andrews said if bids cost 60 cents each and I used 414 bids to win the 55-inch TV, plus the $29.95 closing cost, that TV actually cost me $248.40 instead of less than $30.00 and that’s simply not true. Few DealDash.com shoppers pay a full 60 cents per bid. I usually wait until the bid packs go on sale for 10 or 11 cents per bid. Also, DealDash customers often bid on and win bid packs, which I did. When we win bid packs, we might only pay a few pennies per bid instead of the full cost of 60 cents per bid.
I won two bid packs before bidding on the TV set, which was worth $1,300, not the $1,700 mentioned here, and I did not have to pay the sale price of $29.95 because I won the TV several years ago when DealDash had a “free to the winner” feature. They do not have that feature anymore but they were trying it out for the first time on the night I won the TV. Shipping and handling is also free. So when I do the math, I did win the TV for less than $30.00. Is that typical? No. But does it really happen? Yes.
So is DealDash legit? Yes. Can people actually win great bargains? Yes. If we look at the winner’s list, we can see fantastic deals that some DealDash customers win every single day. What’s the catch? I’ll be honest with you. The catch is that DealDash customers who want to win a bargain have to learn how to play smart. We cannot just click on bid now or put bids into BidBuddy and expect to win. If you do not know how to play smart, you can lose more than you win. After all, DealDash is a business and it has to make money just like any other business.
What are the rules of DealDash?
While DealDash is fun to play and community involvement is encouraged, there are rules for playing and winning with DealDash.
DealDash takes user safety and happiness seriously. DealDash uses its discretion to void auction wins, shut down accounts, and revoke the rights of those caught using tools that aren’t allowed or participating in any other prohibited activity to give themselves an unfair advantage in auctions.
No multiple accounts are allowed
Each user is only allowed to maintain control over one account, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Per household, there may only be 2 active accounts maximum.This is intended to ensure no one has an unfair advantage over any other user by operating multiple accounts in an attempt to farm wins.
Reselling items is prohibited
It is not permitted to resell any products that you obtain from DealDash. This is because DealDash wants to offer the best possible deals for genuine customers and not resellers. Any user caught violating will result in their account being closed. This is to pass the savings to genuine customers and help keep DealDash legit.
DealDash has winning limits to keep things fair
DealDash is legit, which means they have winning limits in place to ensure everyone is playing on an even field. Here is a breakdown of the limits that apply to all users:
Once-Per-Month
A user is only able to win a particular item once per 30 days. Any active BidBuddies (a tool used to help users bid on auctions) that are bidding on the same item in other auctions will be automatically canceled. Again, this is to keep things fair.
Users can only win 50 auctions in a single week
Once you reach the limit, all remaining BidBuddies on other auctions will be automatically canceled. You can bid again when the limit resets.
Team play is prohibited
It is strictly forbidden to work with family members, friends, or acquaintances in an attempt to win auctions. Bidders who are caught participating in teams will have all of their auctions voided, and if repeated instances occur, they will be permanently suspended from auctions without the option to have a refund. DealDash is a legitimate website that wants everyone to have equal opportunity and this behavior is not tolerated. DealDash utilizes sophisticated software, monitoring systems, and safety protection measures to detect bidders who violate this policy. DealDash encourages bidders to report any suspected team players to the DealDash support team.
Third-Party Bidding Software
The use of any kind of bidding software outside of DealDash’s approved BidBuddy is strictly forbidden.
Username Policies
Usernames are not allowed to include obscene language, nor be intentionally misleading or chosen with the clear intention of impersonating another user.
Employees and Immediate Family Members
DealDash employees, including their family members (this means spouses, parents, siblings, and children), and any other person residing in the same household as employees may not, under any circumstances, participate in DealDash auctions. Again, this is to ensure that DealDash is legit and no one feels their ability to win fairly is compromised.
Still not convinced that DealDash is legit? How about we look at DealDash reviews?
Earning Free Bids
There are a couple other factors I did not mention. DealDash gives us all kinds of opportunities to win free bids.
Customers get 10 seconds on the clock every time we place a bid. Once our green line gets all the way to the right, we win free bids. I’m on Level 74 and just won 1,140 free bids. Every day we sign in, if we use 30 bids the day before, and then sign in the next day, we get 30 free bids back. Every day DealDash also offers a “daily challenge” where we can earn more free bids than we use to meet the challenge. Since we only need to place one bid in each of the 10 bid packs, we can get 5 bids ahead every day by meeting the daily challenge.
Sometimes new products come up for auction on DealDash.com that immediately catch my eye, and the hand-made 23-inch iron pink Flamingo is one of them.
How would you like to decorate your yard with this beautiful pink flamingo?
In this age of high technology, having anything that is hand-made is becoming more rare and special than ever. Now is our chance to win this hand-made yard decoration.
Flamingos are iconic and beautiful birds, Visit DealDash and you might have a beautiful flamingo sculpture in your yard soon!
This flamingo has a BIN of $2,060. So far, however, 14 of the 15 previous winners paid far less than that. The three best deals DealDash shoppers got on this beautiful pink flamingo so far are:
Sept. 10, this auction sold for $3.50 and the winner paid a total of $27.45 including the cost of the 132 bids placed;
Sept. 7, the flamingo sold for $11.32 and the winner paid a total of $58/46 including the cost of the 264 bids placed;
Sept. 5, this auction sold for $10.14 and the winner paid a total of $60.73 including the cost of the 291 bids placed.
We can see from the bargains these previous winners received that if we shop for this flamingo at the right time we could win it at a bargain price, too.
Sculpture process
It takes skilled welders with 8 years of experience 3 days to create these iron sculptures. According to the auction description, “The iron is first cut to the particular shape and size, and then welded together for assembly. The welded iron is then polished until smooth and treated by a special electrophoresis powder to prevent rusting. The sculpture is then painted and jeweled to bring out the individual characteristics.”
In the end, the iron flamingo stands 23 x8 x5 inches.
A brief history of flamingos
The word “flamingo” comes from the Latin and Spanish for “fire.”
Flamingos are the national bird of the Bahamas, and the greater flamingo is the largest of the flamingo species. They can measure up to 5-feet tall, and an adult flamingo’s legs can be 30-to-50-inches long – longer than its entire body. Their nests are made of mud.
There are six flamingo species and a group of flamingos is called flamboyance. A baby flamingo is called “flaminglet.”
Flamingos are filter feeders and turn their heads upside down to eat. They get their pink color from their food.
Flamingos symbolize beauty, balance and grace, but their pink color can be used to symbolize femininity and flirtatious innocence.
According to my research online, flamingos are serially monogamous. They mate for one year, get divorced and find a new mate the next year. New mates are mutually agreed upon. Males and females both dance in search of a compatible partner.
Flamingos are more stable for long periods of time on one leg than they are on two, and according to Dr. Paul Rose, zoologist at the University of Exeter, they stand on one leg to avoid muscular fatigue. Standing on one leg also helps flamingos to preserve and regulate body temperature.
Some flamingos have lived as long as 50 years, but usually live an average of 20 to 30 years.
The bottom line
DealDash is a great place to shop to win an awesome bargain on these handmade flamingo yard decorations.
