I needed a basic mixer that would stand the test of time so I went with this model. It seems to be fantastic! It definitely out mixes my last mixer. It is so quiet and, the dials are easy to use, it has a variety of settings and doesn’t sling food everywhere I’m so happy to have found such a wonderful quality mixer. I am also excited to learn that I can buy attachments for it!! It’s really so much more than a standard mixer. My only complaints are that it is heavy compared to my old one BUT It is a lot more powerful as well so it’s a good trade off. They included a great little storage bag for the beaters I WISH it would have been a little larger so I could have put the whole mixer in there lol over all this mixer is definitely a keeper!
