With assurances that I could make bread and multiple dozens of cookies I decided a smaller, lighter mixer was a great way to go. I’m 70 and have had a KitchenAid mixer for as long as I can remember. As years go on it got a bit heavy for me to maneuver and I didn’t have counter space to store it. This Mini is adorable. Stays on the counter and shows off its silvery finish. Quiet, easy to use and mastered the peach skillet cake and bourbon whipped cream. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
