I have only used a couple of times and it was exactly what I expected.

I am unsure about how to calibrate the lift mechanism. I read the instructions about the adjustment screw. But it hardly moves. There is still almost a 1/2" gap between the bowl and beater. Since i have the 6 at. version, there is a lot of ingredients that does not get mixed for a while (depending on the type of ingredient). It certainly won't beat eggs unless there is at least 6 eggs in the bowl. Not many recipes require 6 eggs.

Perhaps I should have bought the smaller version. But then I wouldn't have the torque of the 6 qt. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
