The mixer was delivered as I was getting ready to make sugar cookies. If you’ve made them , you know how stiff the dough is. Well, no problem, the mixer worked like a charm. Everything was mixed nicely and the different speeds were a great help. When I added the dry ingredients it just needed to be combined, perfectly stirred in. Next I made mashed cauliflower, no lumps and mashed the way we prefer it. I keep the mixer on my counter so I can just grab it. It is very nice looking and I love the storage on the bottom. I tried to think of any cons but there really weren’t any for me. This is my favorite mixer that I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few( I cook and bake all the time).
