honestly it took me a long time before I actually opened up the product and started utilizing it, I was so used to using my handheld I really didn't know how to transition over to the Kitchen aid i felt like I would not be able to feel the mixtures I was mixing up. but honestly after my handheld finally broke down on me, I ended up pulling out the kitchen aid and finding out that this is what i should have be utilizing the entire time. I love the fact that it's blue, its my new best friend, it allows me to work faster and hands free which allows me to prepare my raw ingredients while it's doing all the work. I also love the face that the bowl is glass and is also a measuring cup as well if you need it to be. I just really love this kitchen aid, it's something all bakers should have on deck! I've opened up my own business since purchasing this item and I'm so happy with how fast it helps me crank out my orders. Thanks Great Offer Stock, one of the best purchases yet!
