I received this to try and so glad I did. I was in need of a new mixer, but never bought one and I'm glad I waited! The first thing I noticed on the box when it arrived, is that it has a bowl rest. I got so excited when I saw that cause I don't have to stand it straight up on the counter and have batter run down the beaters. Having the snap-on case is always a plus. I like keeping everything together, so I don't have to hunt for the beaters. The six speeds were great and worked nicely for cakes and cornbread mixes. Adding the whisk was a bonus. All-in-all, a very nice mixer that I will definitely recommend to family and friends!
