Fantastic kitchen machine, I got it on sale for 69.90 with a 3-year warranty. Very powerful motor, my old Delonghi mixer used to take 30 minutes to mix, but with this one, it only takes 6 minutes. Durable and good quality construction, the noise is low up to the 4th speed, but from the 5th speed and above, it gets a bit noisy, although it's not noticeable because the mixing time is short. Large, lightweight, and ergonomic bowl with no weight at all. It's worth the extra money, considering that other models with similar motors sell for 300w or 400w. Very satisfied with the choice, and it has suction cups underneath to keep it stable. Awesome design. The only negative is that it's a bit big for small kitchens, although it's smaller than other competitors. If you have a small kitchen, simply don't choose it, just like the other models from the competition, choose a smaller one.
