The Hamilton Beach 6 Speed Hand Mixer with Quick Burst works very well and it is easy to use.  It has a lot of power which is great, especially for recipes that have a very thick batter.  It also brings a case to store the beaters, which is great!  However, it would have been great if it brought a lower setting (lower speed) for mixes that require low to medium speed because even speed 1 is very strong.  Overall, I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.  It works very well, is lightweight, and easy to clean.
