I've had this OLD hand mixer for years and thought a cordless hand mixer would be so cool to have.  Besides my hand mixer, I also have one of the huge stand-up mixer that I use most of the time.  This is a preface why I love my cordless hand mixer.  I use this mixer for quick jobs and I'm not too concerned that it will run out of juice.  I made a box of brownies and the mixer did the job.  If you planning on making complicated recipe, use the old stand-up mixer but for everything else, the Cuisinart -EvolutionX Cordless Hand Mixer perfect!  You can't go wrong with any Cuisinart product.
