This is closest to what I bought, nearly 27 years ago! I used it maybe once or twice a week, for a family of six, all this time. It finally gave out. I didn’t know if it would ever die. It did absolutely everything I needed it to do.. cakes, cookies, whipped creams, hotcakes,… Just a few weeks ago, I was making cookies, it stopped working. 27 years!! It’s a wonderful quality mixer. It had a good home, and I/we loved it. Buy quality!!
This is the worst mixer I have ever used. The beaters fall apart quickly. I was mixing dog treats, which is the equivalent of cookie dough, and the beaters fell apart. Mind you I have used this mixer maybe 15 times. Sadly this is the second one I have bought in three years with the same issue. This is junk! Buyer Beware.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool for all kitchens. Light weight and very quiet. Whips cream and egg whites perfectly. Also, if you warm your butter a little bit in the microwave, this little machine will beat butter and sugar for a cookie dough very nicely. It has no dough hooks, but who needs them? I have older hand mixers with dough hooks and I have never used the hooks. Too narrow, don’t do a good job. As hand mixers go, this is all you need. The price is affordable, and I recommend.
I bought 5 speed mixer through the retailer and I used it. I would say that unfortunately this mixer is not 5 speeds. It looks like 5 speeds but from 3 to 5 completely same, what a big disappointment. I had like Kitchenaid appliances until I used this mixer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mixer is easy to use. Like that it has a low speed to start. Like the cord being able to swivel.
