I've let myself be dazuhinreißen to buy this mixer because of the great design and the really elegant black. Stylish it is so, you have to let the devices of Russel Hobbs. It was not my best idea with the black. I had to remember 3-4 cake, as every touch of flour rather conspicuously stuck to the device for approx. So in itself it does its job, it now makes funny noises obwhl after one year. Nothing else he lacks. But I do not know if I again buy an Russel Hobbs agitator. : /
