Wow this mixer is great. Years ago I had a large kitchen aid mixer and I gave it away as it took up so much room and was so bulky.  But this one is slender and so easy to use.  I bake banana bread with my grandchildren all the time and this makes it so much easier. It’s thorough in that it quickly gets all the ingredients mixed up- no need to use a spatula to get the ingredients on the bottom mixed up.  I just love it.   And having the large bowl makes it so much easier to double the recipes! Kitchen Aid is a quality name and this mixer is a very sturdy and quality piece of equipment!
