I love to bake and this mixer comes in handy for when I bake or when I am whipping up some mashed potatoes for dinner. It has 5 speeds and works really well with mixing ingredients together. The mixer itself is light weight and very easy to handle. It is also very easy to clean it is dishwasher safe. It comes with a handy case that stores the mixer and the beaters nicely.  This mixer is a must have for your kitchen it works well and it is very easy to use.
