For some reason, I have three handheld mixers, but this Braun mixer is my favorite one! It's lightweight and the design of the handle, is perfect! When not in use, the cord securely stays wrapped in place, which is a huge plus, for me. The included "carrying" bag is great, as it keeps all of the pieces together. The mixer itself, does a great job mixing, and even has a turbo speed. Surprisingly, the mixer (motor) is fairly quiet. I love the design of the regular beaters because they are so much easier to clean, after using. The included dough hooks work exceptionally well, for bread, pasta, and other thick doughs. Both sets of beaters detach very easily, with the push of a button. I would definitely rate this set five out of five!
