(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I registered for this for my wedding.  Could not imagine a kitchen without a mixer and I liked how you could see the ingredients in the bowl.  I hand wash this bowl every time I use it.  I was hand washing it earlier today after baking a cake.  I heard a pop and the bowl had a huge crack it it.  I love the look and utility of the bowl, but I will probably be sticking to metal from now on.
