  • Only OK for mixing a cake batter with the flex edge beater. All the ingredients were pushed to the side, needed to scrape side of bowl a few times.
  • Heavy motor head is not spring loaded.
  • Large button to raise and lower motor head, requires a firm press.
  • No eject button to remove beater, hand can get covered in mixture.
  • Mixing bowl is large and may not fit comfortably in a domestic sink.
  • Pouring shield sits on the bowl and needs to be removed when lifting the motor head.
  • Height of controls can be difficult for some to view.
  • Flex edge beater 3 prongs pushes the batter to the sides, some unmixed ingredients in the beater.
  • May not be able to whisk small quantities.
