I just got this delivered yesterday afternoon. I mixed a double batch of premixed muffin mix to bake for a lunch with friends tomorrow. Used low and next faster setting and had no splattering problems using a deep tapered bowl. This will work for me on cake batters and mashed potatoes, the three things I use a mixer for the most often, and I especially appreciate the storage compartment since my cabinet space is now at a premium after so many years. 

Pros: Excellent value for the features
Cons: None found on one use
