This is the best hand mixer I've have ever had. It is nice light weight, easy to clean. But the best thing I like is when you beat egg whites or anything like that they don't splash out of the bowl. It actually starts slow on #1 setting and gets faster as it goes up. The food doesn't even splash out of the bowl on high. So many beaters when you start them on #1, everything splash's out all over. This one is very quiet and beats everything really well especially egg whites , they come out great. Wish I had this one years ago. I give it a 10 out of 10.
