This is the best mixer I have ever owned.  I like it much better than my sunbeam and my kitchenaid.  It is surprisingly powerful.   I have made everything from homemade butter to cookies to bread and it works like a charm.  The suction cups held it in place even while kneading bread dough.  I also love that it is so light that I can easily store it in a cabinet instead of leaving it on the counter.  Not to mention the fantastic price!  I am very pleased and I highly recommend this mixer.
