Too much speed
9/30/2012
Pros
Stores Well
Cons
Splatters Mix All Over
Best Uses
Comment:
Even at the lowest speed - it's just too fast and throws even heavier cookie dough all over. It's too hard to control while mixing. Really throws dry mixture & creaming mixture all over the kitchen.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The threaded drive shaft powers the beaters by turning two plastic sprockets. The teeth on these sprockets wore out after a year of normal usage.

More than six months

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
