This mixer is a little heavy for me and the mixer things are a bit fiddly to fit into the holes. That said, it doesn't matter because the price is right and I am not a cook. I just want to be able to whip up Dr. Oetker's Double Chocolate Mousse. There are also other recipes of Dr. Oetker's  I will be sampling. So this mixer is a bit of overkill, but so far is working very well!
