I have been using a very well know brand of stand mixer for as long as I can remember. I was so excited to switch to this more modern GE stand mixer. I can never go back to the old brand. The GE mixer feels more heavy duty than the other brand (which I didn’t know was possible). Using it the first time, I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is! The built in scale is such an amazing feature that I never realized I needed. I connected to my iPhone using the Wi-Fi capability without issue. Overall, extremely pleased with this mixer. Guests at my house have complimented how beautiful the mixer is and I agree!
