I got this for my wife, trying to beat the holiday rush. It seems every year she and her mother are trying new baking recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am the beneficiary of most of these. This mixer is just perfect. The ease of use, versatility, and quick clean up make it a winner. She tried to explain how the beaters are cutting edge and speed up her work. I just ask for the other one. Being a Kitchen Aid product we knew the long lasting quality would be there. I would recommend one for every kitchen.
