The product itself is excellent. It is heavy and beautifully crafted. It washed well in the dishwasher, and the material did not dull when washed. I am very pleased with this Pastry Beater. The Pastry Beater is far superior-no paint to chip. I was very satisfied with the easy way it was attached to the mixer. it is easy to detach & clean. I don't 'have to be concerned with it rusting.  I use it at least once a week, and it goes in the dishwasher. It’s a game changer. I bake a lot and I was using a different mixer with a HEAVY glass bowl all these years. Handling it, cleaning it, and using it was a hassle. With the light weight silver bowl with a handle that this comes with, just wow. Not to mention, it makes very LITTLE noise. The design and functionality of this beater is excellent.
