I love this mixer. Kitchen Aid makes high quality products, and this mixer is a great example. The mixer is such an appealing color. It's aesthetically pleasing. I also love the size. I live in a small apartment, and space is a premium. This small mixer doesn't take up much space, so it's easy for me to store. However, don't think because it is small, it is weak. This mixer packs a punch. It also offers variety with 6 speeds. The box comes with the items in the picture. I love that it comes with a wisk. I can't recommend this mixer enough.
