I just go this and couldn't wait to try it out.  I made a gluten free cake, frosting and whipped cream.  It seemed to do a good job of mixing everything.  The whip cream took very little time. I did have to stop the mixer and stir in the bottom of the bowl on a couple of occasions.  This was for the heavier gluten free mix.  It seems to be very well built and I am sure it will serve me well. 

Pros: seems solidly built, not too heavy, mixes well
Cons: bowl doesn't turn so you have to stop the mixer, lift up the mixing head to scrape the bottom of the bowl if needed during mixing,.  The plastic splash guards are the only flimsy thing on the mixer.
