I love this hand mixer. I have a stand KitchenAid but don't always need to use it. I have had a KitchenAid mixer in the past and used it for several years until it died. So, I did the wrong thing and purchased another hand mixer, which was not KitchenAid and I certainly regretted it. So, I asked for this for Christmas, but, of course, I've already been using it. It is awesome. The attachments are great too, especially the whisk. I can use it to whip cream without having to pull out my large, heavy stand mixer. This mixer has great speed and is so easy to operate. You can't go wrong with this mixer. I highly recommend purchasing this model.
