I bought this mixer a few months ago.  The reviews said it was an excellent mixer.  I've used it a handful of times and am not impressed with it at all.  I have to use a larger bowl with this one than I did with any of my previous mixers...it splatters everywhere.  I have a hard time getting whatever I'm making off of the beaters.  I wish I had gotten a different mixer.  I loved my previous Black and Decker mixer.
