This hand mixer works wonderfully! The beaters are easy to push in and pull out. The beater seems powerful as I have not needed to go over speed 2 to mix my recipes. The only issue I have had is that it can be a little difficult to get the mixer separated from the clear case that holds the beaters, but once I did it a couple of times I got the hang of it. I appreciate that the beaters and whisk can be attached to the mixer so I don't risk losing them. Additionally, I put the beaters in the dishwasher and they came out good as new, which is a bonus of the mixer.
