The Hamilton Beach Red Stand Mixer 7 Speed is a beautiful kitchen appliance. It was packaged securely and easy to open and assemble. All parts fit into the mixing bowl. The mixer is lighter than other brands, but it functions just as well with suction cups to keep it in place. It is easy to store and a compact appliance. I have prepared perfect mashed potatoes, coffee cake, and kneaded bread. I look forward to trying out many more recipes. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
