I like the speed, power and quietness of this hand mixer. They have a set of dough beaters and a second set of beaters that do everything else. The second set seem kind of light weight, like they would bend easily. They worked well mixing cake batter. Mine haven’t bent but, I store them carefully. I’ve only used it twice so I don’t know about longevity. The button used to release the beaters is stiff can be challenging to push in. I expected better from Braun.
