When my Kitchenaid whip broke for the 3rd time after having it repaired, I was faced with a choice: buy a new whip or purchase a light weight hand mixer. I am not disappointed by my choice!
This mixer has great speed and power. And I really like that it stands up solidly. When not being held or in use. My last mixer was top heavy and turned over very easily. The cuisinart does not.
It works great as a mixer but it wasn’t user friendly the way it is. Maybe if it could stand on its end as I set it on the side of a mixing bowl, would do really great! The cord is in the way.
