The problem with hand mixers is that inexpensive devices are weak in performance. With this device you meet a good choice. The mixer is powerful and easy to handle. Somewhat annoying is the volume. Very good are the stirring rods, which contain all four no plastic. That's the reason why I had to dispose of my old Moulinex. The Platik is torn over the years and the bars have no longer held. Replacement did not exist. That's why I had to throw a funktionieredes device in the trash with a heavy heart. I did the customer service of Cla-Tronic in the past with other products good experience, also affect my purchase had.
