A very easy to use hand mixer with 6 speed settings. Not too loud but it still quickly whips up eggs and cake batters without any difficulty. I like to whip up my cake batters to bake fluffier cakes, so this is really nice to have on hand in the kitchen. The mixer isn't heavy at all, it is only about 3lbs or so. Any heavier and I think my arm would be tired after using it for long periods of time. 
For me, the only thing left to be desired is an improved storage solution. The storage clip that it comes with is a good way to not lose the beater and whisk attachments but it doesn't really address a bigger problem in my book. The problem being hand mixers are typically odd shaped and hard to store. I would have much preferred a storage case that keeps all the components together and makes it stackable on a shelf.
