Love this mixer! Works absolutely wonderful! Best part is you don't have to buy each attachment separately. All are provided at a great price with this stand mixer. 0lus you get a splash shield and two not one but two different size bowls.This mixer is a little noisey but not that bad. Less noise than the hand held electric mixer.Cleaning is a breeze!It's a great size even for small kitchens. I have a small kitchen. I ordered separately a cover with pockets to hold all accessories. The cover was made for a name brand mixer but fit this mixer great. After using, I clean the mixer and accessories I used. Let them dry thoroughly, place cover on, put attachments in pockets, and store away.It's not so heavy that you can't store in a cabinet, pantry, etc, and move with ease to and from your counter space. I just love this mixer, the design, and the price. You truly want regret this purchase!
