My KitchenAid hand mixer works great. I love my ice blue color. The six speeds help control your speed while mixing from slow to very fast. The beaters are very easy to put in and to take out of the mixer with easy-to-read instructions on how to do both, the beaters have a flex edge on them that cover more surface area while mixing, the whisk work great. The beaters and whisk are dish washer safe, and the mixer wipes off easy. All the beaters clip onto the front into an integrated storage clip on the bottom of the mixer for quick storage.
