My glass bowl near base cracked while it was mixing. I thought I must have not secured it properly or something, but guess what the base of glass bowl was still stuck onto the mixing base of my mixer. So glass bowl cracked and the base is stuck on my mixer with sharp parts of glass on it. It was almost impossible to remove the broken glass base off my mixer.  I am not an everyday baker and I only use it just for the holidays, so hardly used it and this happens . So buyer beware!
