Disappointing. The motor is annoyingly loud - high-pitched and "clattery". The low speed is way too fast and splatters like crazy. I tried whipping on high and it was an instant mess. Not to mention deafening racket. Completely unacceptable. I hate this and wish I'd never bought it. It was a replacement for a worn-out KitchenAid, and doesn't come close to performing as well. I bought based on reviews and ATK. Don't know how it got such good reviews. It is going to the donation bin.
