I have been keeping at eye out for a new 6 speed handmixer, and very happy I came across this one.  It works well, is very easy to hold, and comfortable to use while mashing, mixing &  more.  Seems to be good quality that will last for years to come.  I use this almost daily as I am always mashing potatoes or baking.  Very easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store.  I would recommend.
