Excellent stand mixer. I looked at a couple other brands but decided to go with the name I trust!  My only complaint is there’s not enough room to add ingredients without stopping & lifting the mixer top (which is easy to do). It came with the splatter guard, which is essential, but the spout on it is also small, so when adding flour to cookie dough I can only squeeze about 1/2 cup at a time unless you have some kind of bowl that’s skinny with a spout.
