This mixer is amazing. The bowl is big and lovely. Everything works better then good. No issue with using the lever to move the mixer back and forth and if I want it a bit higher I just put a coaster the size of what is there to make it so the beaters do reach the very bottom is that is what is needed. No way could I get a expensive stand mixer and this is just as good if not better because of the price. I have severe arthritis and holding a mixer terribly very hard and at the end I have much pain for a few days. This makes it not happen. I got it quick so I can do some Christmas baking. Yep ee! Turning the bowl is no biggie. If it is you need to go into a lot of money for something that takes so little effort. This is a winner and a really nice treat for me.
