I had always wanted one but I never brought myself to paying for it. I always thought to myself "how could I possibly get my money's worth". Having come from a hand mixer that is probably from the 70s I am completely upset with myself for not doing this earlier. I use it for everything and then some. I cant wait to start trying my hand and other new things that I wouldnt otherwise try with a janky hand mixer. I also realized that most of the older folks who have them have had the same mixer for some up to 25 years. Now I just need to convince my wife of all the attachments I will want/need.
