Bought this for my birthday and so far it's nice and does a good job. First time I used I had the speed on 10. when I started to move and hit 9 had my chocolate cake mix went all over the place. My old mixer had a timer on it, wish this one did too.. Maybe in the new mixers. Does a good job cleaning the sides of the bowl. Would like to buy the bowl cover when I can put stuff onto bowl, but don't see where I can buy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
