I love the Precision Master and probably would have given it a 5 if it was not for the difficulty of adjusting the beater/whisk. I did the dime test and found the beater or whisk do not go down far enough into the bowl to mix batter at the bottom. The adjustment screw is so tight that after numerous attempts the screw head was getting stripped so we had to stop. We were able to lower the beater/whisk a small amount but not enough to correct the problem, so I need to remember to stop the process on occasion and mix from the bottom with my spatula.

This is my first paddle-style stand mixer, finally replacing my mom's 50+ year old 2-beater spinning bowl workhorse. I would have to agree with other reviewers that the space between the paddle and bowl is somewhat annoying to deal with, as you cannot scrape the sides of the bowl without lifting the mixer, and you can't lift the mixer one-handed to scrape the bowl, thus requiring you to either constantly set your spatula down to lift the mixer, or risk getting batter all over the mixer while you try to finagle the spatula/unlock/lift maneuver. It's also somewhat frustrating that you can't add ingredients while the mixer is running without them getting stuck on the top of the paddle or splashing out. It seems like the mixer head could have been designed with a little more room to access the sides of the bowl. On the other hand, with a little help from your spatula getting everything incorporated, I really like the variety of mixing speed options. So far I've made cookies, cake and mashed potatoes with the mixing paddle, and pretzels and seitan with the dough hook, all with great results. I'm not sure if the cost savings is ultimately worth the hassle of not being able to adjust the bowl height, etc., but this mixer definitely works.
