"User infriendly."

Product use: 1 month or less
Pros:
Probably none: I have returned the mixer.
Cons:
The power cord is stored in the untit, but is very hard and/or time consuming to get out and back in.
Also: the speed button doesn't point at a single speed number, so you don't know which speed you are in.
The store assistant told me all their Bodum Bistro mixers work like this, and she promised me a refund.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
"User unfriendly."

Product use: 1 month or less
Pros:
? I send it back before really using it; so probably nothing. I'm very dissapointed.
Cons:
The power cord is stored in the unit, but very hard and/or time consuming to get out and back in.
Also: the speed button doesn't point at one speed, so it's not clear which speed you are working in.
The store assistant told me all the Bodum Bistro hand mixers they have, work the same, and she promised to return my money.
Recommend it?
Yes, I recommend this product.
