I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a mixmaster. However, this little mixer offers great value for money. It has the same extra features as the more expensive mixers; dough hook, whisk, splash guards and pourer, as well as having enough power to do the job. It's really easy to use and the stainless steel bowl is a perfect size. It's compact size means I can store it easily, and it looks good too. So happy to have it in my kitchen!
