There are not many things in one's life that you can say is "Perfect". It seems that Kitchenaid has reached Perfection from the start. With all of their products that I have bought for myself and as gifts, everyone comments on their reliability, ease of use and a product that works for everyone, no matter what their age. They are always thrilled to see the Kitchenaid name on the box and I am always happy that it makes them happy. The Kitchenaid hand mixer fills all my needs. Dependability, ease of use, and the choice of color, this makes me a lifetime user. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
