This mixer is a great tool for anyone who cooks. It runs smoothly and clean up is a breeze. The helix design makes mixing go fast and blends your ingredients together better than the old plain ones. The hooks do a great job when you are working with dough. They can handle a load. The storage of this is a big plus. You are able to keep everything together and are not searching everywhere for a blade. If you cook, this is a must have. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
