Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

*****UPDATE******* We've been using this several times a week for 4 and half years now and I still love it. The markings that indicate the speed along the side are long gone but also not very necessary. I would love to have this same mixer with a larger bowl. That being said, I'm very pleased with this. It's works consistently, cleans up easily, stores a way nicely. It still looks new and works as well as the day we bought it. All the beaters and plastic attachments look like new as well. I'd still recommend this without hesitation. *************Original Review********************* I originally intended to purchase the Kitchen Aid mixer. After reading the recent reviews of kitchen Aids product, I wasn't so sure about spending so much money on a questionable product. I have 2 daughters that are on special diets that require wheat-free products. I make almost everything from scratch and my little hand mixer was just not cutting it any more. I am so happy with this purchase. The breads I make are gluten free which makes them actually thicker and stickier than other breads. This mixer whips up a double sized batch with out any problems. I am often surprised that I don't have to scrape the sides! Putting the wet ingredients in first seems to do the trick. My time spent baking has been cut so much. I also like that my kids can help because of the bowl attachment. I no longer worry about their fingers getting caught in the beaters. Clean up is sooo easy I now use the mixer for small jobs like making a pudding or even salad dressing. I use this about 4 days a week so I love the 5 year warranty. It stays on my counter and I love that it fits well even with the head tilted up. Great product!! Worth every penny
