My husband bought me this for Christmas. I was super excited to have a new one because my old Hampton was loud and clunky. This mixer has so many speed levels and is ultra quiet. Only bad side is the whisk attachment broke in half the first time I used it. I own a lot of KitchenAid products and this has never happened before. I think I may have just gotten a bad one.
