I sometimes get tired of using my standard mixer so this hand mixer is perfect when you want to make something fast and easy. I was able to rest the mixer against the bowl versus other brands you cannot do it. I loved it. I used it to make pancakes, eggs and waffles. It was very easy to use and clean. The only negative is that I didn't care for the container that comes with the mixer. It's very flimsy and not that strong. I highly recommend this mixer.
