Haven't used as yet. Fired it up and was impressed with the sound as it was very quiet.  Thought I would buy this KA product as I already have a stand mixer. I thought the mixer would be heavier which to me would give it a feel of a better manufactured product.  Was disappointed that it was so light, unlike your stand mixer.  It was definetely not like my mothers hand mixer in the 50's.  I'd put a steel plate in there somewhere to make it feel heavier to the consumer.  Just my opinion, as I associate heavier with something well built. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
