Positives:
+ Enough power for most cake batters
+ Stirring and kneading bars with instantly recognizable connection. Good for me because I had always used to think that bar is left and which used right.
+ Very calm and quiet motor
+ A connection for an immersion blender (I, however, do not buy, because we have a separate hand-held blender)
Attention, "Mr. Bean" -automatic:
The mixer has in addition to the 5 stages a setting for automatic running (probably depending on the viscosity of the stirred material). As far as actually a good idea. This setting is available but unfortunately before the first stage. I initially happened several times that I have switched off during the automatic in and have simultaneously raised the mixer from the mixing bowl. The resulting mishap was great: kitchen dirty with dough, blotted clothes. Meanwhile I turn off cautiously, so this little problem no longer occurs.
