I just received my Hamilton Beach Eclectrics mixer. It was packaged extraordinarily well. You had to get through 3 boxes before you got to the mixer. It was easy to set up. Everything about this beautiful device is simple & self explanatory, although the simplified manual is necessary for the the reasons to use the different attachments. When I turned it on to make sure it worked, the mixer did not move about, although I was not making thick bread or cookie dough. It's very heavy, all metal and for my occasional weekly use, will last a lifetime! I am very happy.
