I received this mixer to review. First I made Meringue cookies.  Beating egg whites properly needs good speed and this mixer did a great job.  I like the splatter shield that slides on the bowl and the suction feet stick really tight to my counter.  Then I made bread and the dough hook did a great job mixing in the flour around the perimeter of the bowl. The tilt head locks in place and all you need to do is hold in the button when you lift or lower the head.  It is lighter than my old Kitchen Aid, lol.  This Mixer is a winner for me.  I really like that it has 7 speeds and there is a handy mixing guide on the handle and that the bowl and beaters are all dishwasher safe. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
