This is a really nice hand mixer! It looks really classy and I love the rubber coated beaters. It is definitely alot better for mixing in metal and glass bowls. 
I like all the different speeds that it has.(7)  It is alot quieter than my old one. It also doesn't flip batter out as much either. It starts out slower and then picks up speed.
The cord is a good length. It does come with dough hooks which I've never had before. I am excited to use them.  There is also a whisk which is awesome for whipping cream and egg whites. I like the storage container which has plenty of room for the attachments and cord. This mixer is well made and strong. I really like it and am very pleased with it!!
