I have arthritis in my hands and shoulders and corded hand mixers were hard because of position they had to be held due to cords. This mixer is amazing I can sit down at table with it or where ever it is more comfortable for me. The power is amazing and stays charged for ever it seems. I am still on my initial charge after using it for many dishes. I do wish it had different beaters for different things but the ones it comes with are an all around ok set.
