I was excited to try this Hamilton Beach mixer and it did not disappoint. I love that it is compact, with the ability to put all the attachments as well as the cord inside the plastic bin which connects to the mixer for easy and space-saving storage. I also really appreciate the bowl rest notch, which allows me to rest the mixer on the bowl when I need both of my hands. This feature saves me the time of cleaning up a mess on my countertop. The speed settings are great, and it's comfortable in my hands. I would highly recommend.
