I've had my hand mixer for 3 months now and I have used it so many times, I'm sure it has paid for itself! It is so handy to grab and whip up just about anything that doesn't need to be in my big stand mixer (which is a KitchenAide also). I wish I had every appliance KitchenAide makes! I have never had a problem with any product I've had over many years! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
