But
- Just OK results in our beating (egg whites) test.
- No scraper-beater attachment.
- The motor head isn’t spring loaded (so you need to hold the head when lifting and lowering).
- No eject button for removing beater (hand can get covered in mixture).
- Considerable strength needed to remove bowl.
- Bowl has small base area so can be unstable on the bench.
