The hand mixer set I have acquired as a result of positive customer reviews. Also can be connected to this unit as opposed to a food processor, a hand blender. That the unit is extremely quiet, I can not find my old devices were not loud. The entire set makes a solid impression, gears and function buttons are generously sized, the motor seems beyond any load. The assembly is simple and intuitive, no hooks or clamps. The dough hook and whisk reach to the bottom of the bowl, so it forms no unstirred sediment. Surprised I was about the four slots at the top edge of the bowl and the Schüsselfuß. The answer was revealed to me in granting the dishwasher: The slots can in an inverted bowl in the dishwasher drain the rinse water, so in the end the individual rinses is no water in the border area and in the ground form, as in "normal" bowls usual. A simple yet effective measure!
