I bought this recently after a cheap hand mixer finally gave up the ghost. I went with Braun because it's a trustworthy brand. It works very well for whipping egg whites, heavy cream etc. It's not obnoxiously loud and has many speed settings. I love the eject button. 
I do wish it came with a whisk attachment. Also I would love to be able to order an extra set of beaters for the many times you need to quickly switch from beating egg yolks to beating egg whites.
