This was very highly reviewed and I wanted a machine with a large capacity and plenty of functions.  However, there are so many bits to this machine that I can't keep track of them all.  It seems to work well but putting it together for each function requires a degree in engineering and a constant eye on the instruction manual!  And it's SO loud!  It sounds like an industrial angle grinder when it's going.  It's either 'high' or 'low' speed and an on and off button to press which I find slow to respond and clunky.  I much preferred my previous mixer with it's variable speed dial.  Overall I'm quite disappointed with this machine.
