Actually, the mixer has received 5 stars from 2011, since then, according to Electrolux / AEG, the cable has been extended to a normal Arbeitsmaß of 1.5 m. Previously produced devices have only 1 meter long connecting cable !!!! - To work with is a disaster! Constantly one remains hanging and represents the unit from getting the working area. So, definitely pay attention to the cable length !!! The device itself has a really strong engine; the whisks are also very well made; The classification system is exemplary; pleasantly quiet; adequate performance levels! Probably is also true, on the HM 4400.
