Wow! This kitchenaid 6 speed hand mixer is incredible. It is lightweight and super easy to use. Most importantly the flex edge beaters have significantly reduced amount of time I need to mix. In the past I have also had to pause and scrape ingredients on the side of the bowl while I mixed. However, the flex edge beaters allow me to easily get all the ingredients off the side of the bowl without making a ton of noise. This is a must have kitchen staple. I highly recommend.
