You get what you pay for. For the price you can not expect reasonable machine. The lowest level is too fast, resulting in that a fly the whole ingredients at the beginning through the kitchen. The other stages are barely faster than the first, a simple on / off switch would therefore suffice here. In addition, the machine is very bad in the hand, with prolonged kneading and firmer dough they can hardly keep still. Open to protein ok, not to be used for anything else.
