This is a great handheld mixer. It has six speeds and two types of beaters. I compared this mixer to another without the flex edge beaters and noticed that it does do a better job of mixing all of my ingredients quickly and evenly. Another added plus is that they do not leave scratches on my metal bowls. I love the convenience of the storage attachment so I won’t lose any pieces. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve miss placed my mixer attachments!! Overall, a great hand mixer to have.
