A pleasure to use. Lovely deep bowl so that when mixing or adding ingredients they don’t fly all over the place! Quiet, solid, good range of speeds. The only thing that caught me unawares was the sheer weight… it is deceptively heavy. I had to find a place for it in my tiny kitchen near to my workspace rather than store it in the cupboard where I kept my previous mixer as I simply couldn’t get it up on the shelf! I nearly gave it four stars for this reason but it’s actually so good to use and I love it!
