It works well, and it's CORDLESS. So we can use it on the island (small, not built in, no electric to it!) where there is LIGHT. The mixer works just fine, it's as light if not lighter than the last hand mixer, and did I mention it's cordless? Also quieter than the last mixer. I'm just sad I was too impatient to own it to wait until they had my fave Empire Red back in stock. Black is not my preferred color, but CORDLESS.
