We just tried this mixer last night to shred some chicken breast for soup. It worked outstanding! It was very easy to set up and was powerful enough to shred the chicken. I can definitely see myself using this pretty often while making cookies, brownies, cakes. It is also very easy to clean, just pop the blades off and stuck them in the dishwasher after a good rinsing. It was also very comfortable to hold in my hands. I do not really have anything negative to say about this product. I cannot wait to try it on other foods as well.
