A little disappointed. Mixes well but with heavier dough...like cookies..I have to hold the top portion of the mixer down or it gets to lifting. Not that it would come up but doesn't seem to get to the bottom without hold it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My mom still has one that she bought in 1981. It was handed down to my eldest. I have always had one and I cant do without it. Not only does it work beautifully, it also comes in so many wonderful colors so it can be left out. I call it my kitchen art.
This mixer is AMAZING... I am an avid baker; especially around the holidays and... I Absolutely LOVE everything about it! Large bowl for double batches, easy to switch the beaters, a handle for easy handling and the cover to allow you to add items to your mix as well as prevent splatter! This is EXACTLY what I have needed!
