I bought this mixer after Christmas and finally started using this February. Mixer itself is very good, light and has enough power for the weight/class of the mixer. Although would've been even better with a slower start. My biggest problem is with the whisk attachment. On the third use metal got bent. And we are talking about cake batter, nothing overly hard, no dough kneading nothing like that. I used Braun products for years and this is not the quality i was expecting, very disappointing.
