I really put this mixer to the test so I could be able to provide a honest opinion. First off I love the design. The snap on case was an excellent idea. I love the attachments that come with the mixer. I sometimes have trouble finding handheld appliances that don't cause wrist and hand fatigue but this fit the bill. I baked a strawberry cake and two batches of cupcakes and I enjoyed using this mixer instead of pulling out my larger mixer. This definitely makes me want to bake more often.
