    I love the 1/2 power and so many power levels. I also like the sleek look of the mixer. However getting the bowl to latch in is difficult and a major deterrent in buying this again.

    This is the best mixer. Great size only complaint is it's hard to sit up on the alignment.

    Got this for wife for Christmas, she said the bowl is hard to get out and to put back in. Also the attachments are harder to find for this model. Other then that.... she loves it very much.

    Good mixer once you figure out how to keep the bowl on. The instructions are extremely vague. YouTube helped.
