Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had a 6-Speed Kitchen Aid for about twenty years that was a work-horse so I was sure I wanted another Kitchen Aid again. I researched all the Amazon reviews and decided on the 9-Speed, hoping it would be a little faster. I'm not sure it is faster (it just divides them up in more speeds), but it works fine and is easy to operate. I was disappointed that the silver banner with the Kitchen Aid name around the machine was some stick-on tape that had a wrinkle in it. It was applied crooked, but I'm afraid I will tear it up if I try to correct it. My previous Kitchen Aid had a sturdy, bendable metal for the banner and the appliance seemed to be built out of sturdier plastic. The overall new appliance seems to be covered with a lighter plastic. Since this is the way appliances and everything else is made now, I don't have any recourse in a hand-held mixer in this price range. I have only tried out the standard beaters that come with it, but it does include other accessories in a nice bag to keep them neat and clean. After using this mixer, I probably would have been just as happy with one of the lesser expensive Kitchen Aid hand-held mixers since I haven't even used the extra accessories. UPDATE: The beaters wobble much more than the original Kitchen Aid hand mixer I had previously, especially at the mid- to high-range speeds. I called Kitchen Aid customer service and asked if this was normal. They said yes, with the new hand mixers, the beaters do wobble more than older models.
