Inconvenient handling and not worth the money! For a 9 speed mixer I expected more power! I purchased it because it had the highest ratings. I don't understand why. I'm very disappointed! It is annoying to press nine times to reach the highest speed. Push buttons are not ergonomically designed! I've used it at least four times and I just can't get used to it! I'll go back to my old and much cheaper hand mixer which had one lever which turned it on and let me easily speed up and down. English is not my mother tongue, so sorry if I don't explain it well enough.
