You get what you expect for the price. It doesn't feel solid and slows down when the going gets tough but works well for a small kitchen and for people that aren't cooking for more than 4.

If you need a mixer to make standard items like cake, cookies, pie filling and crusts, this is a good mixer to have. It has 5 speeds and is easy to clean.

I received this a shower gift a few years ago. Standard mixer, can't do anything too drastic with it, but I noticed the last time I took the beaters out of the dishwasher they had rusted. These are not stainless beaters and they will rust. I'm in the market for a new mixer.

this is clearly a case of "you get what you pay for". for easy jobs this mixer works fine, but give it a thick batch of brownie mix or cookie dough and the motor will just die

I was in need for a cheap mixer, for thanks giving, this is the exact model that I got from target. I was surprised what this mixer could do, for only being 125 watts. It did handle great too. I was mixing a big batch of oatmeal cookies for my big 14 people feast, when the motor died. I started out smoothly, trying not to put too much pressure on the already struggling motor. I dont know what I did, but the mixer kept slowing down slower and slower untill it rest at a real slow speed,where the beaters almost weren't moving, and I could tell that the motor was burning, for my hand on the handle could feel the heat. I could also feel the sputtering of the motor. I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, even though it was still burning, and tried again. The beaters still looked as if they weren't moving. Then there was a POP! Smoke and a horrid smell were coming through the front vents. I was mad that I couldn't finish the cookies, yet at the same time, I feel bad that everything I do breaks something :( I guess I shouldn't expect cheap stuff to do heavy jobs.
