Never used this brand for mixers but was excited to have a new one since my older one was very dated! I love how this came with dough hooks as well! Nice to use when I don’t want to pull out the huge mixer. I received this from Tryit Sampling and the only downfall to me, is it is a bit heavier than my older one. Yes it’s not very heavy but still on the heavier side. But all else is amazing and works amazingly!
