As a huge fan of Cuisinart there was really no other option for me than this hand mixer. The shape and weight are quite comfortable in my smaller hand, and it stands up very nicely when you need to set it down. I only wish the low speed was much slower. I still need to be careful when adding dry ingredients as it's very powerful and will toss the flour, etc. around. Otherwise, it's perfect
This is by far the BEST hand mixer ever!! Great speed and easy to handle. Very efficient with the push release of the beaters...eliminates the mess of pulling beaters off on previous brands.
