From the technical point of view, nothing to say. Powerful, complete, efficient. Maize is for buttons. They require prolonged maintenance support (for security, I understand: is released, the motor stops), but my fingers are deformed by arthritis and this maneuver is painful to me. Larger buttons would be more comfortable, especially as the unit is designed to be held in only one way (comfortable ergonomic grip area). I'm 55, do not consider myself old or disabled, but the use of this mixer is difficult for me; I have to use my hands.
