After a low-cost hand mixer decided not to work any more, I decided to spend more money to make sure I would get a better product.  I consulted Consumer Reports online, and at first saw a number of recommended mixers, most above what my budget could bear. When I changed the filter to "not over $50, only one remained:  the Cuisinart Power Advantage 5-Speed Hand Mixer. I ordered it online, and since it arrived have only used it once, but already I'm happy that I have a product I believe will be worth the money I paid.  

Pros: Diagram right on the mixer bottom shows which beater goes on each side.
Cons: Nothing to report.
