This stand mixer is the first we have ever owned after 47 years of marriage. First recipe was pizza dough. Very easy and quick to complete. Took about 5 minutes yielding about two pounds. With 7 speeds, tilt head, and 350 watts of power, the chore, was not a chore. Cake batter, biscuits dough and bread dough were all so easy. We will retire our 47 year old hand mixer will move to the garage sail table.
