This is great addition to my kitchen!  One of those appliances that last forever & we don't replace very often (my old one still works), BUT night & day difference between the 2.  Biggest difference is the weight of this model.  It's surprising how lightweight it is.  As I've aged, simple tools are more difficult due to weight held in 1 hand.  I've found I use my stand mixer more because of this.   Not anymore!  This simple,  helpful kitchen tool has made tasks so much easier & doesn't clutter my counter space with a big stand mixer!  AND, the attachments are so simple it really makes this appliance exceptional.
