Powerful hand mixer; much more powerful than my previous Hamilton Beach mixer.  Does a great job and has a Burst button for a little extra oomph.   It also co.es with a whisk for those lighter jobs.  The only thing I really didn't care for was that to set the mixer down, the cord has to go forward unlike other mixers where the cord come out the back. I went to set it down with the cord coming out the back and it fell over. I'm guessing, over time, I'll get used to it.
