I needed a replacement for my old hand mixer and decided on the Courant. It's light and has a much better range of speeds than my old mixer. The Smooth Start feature starts fast and then slows down, but I've learned to work with it. By lifting the beaters out of the bowl before the true speed kicks in, I can avoid making a mess at the slowest speed. The variable speeds are gentle and effective for stirring and whipping eggs. It's also good for gentler tasks like stirring cookie dough. While it's not super light, it's still easy to hold for a few minutes. I just have to make sure my hands are dry to avoid it slipping around on the plastic. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase.

This product is extremely user-friendly. I purchased it for my son, and he thoroughly enjoys using it to make mashed potatoes.

This item is incredibly strong and convenient to handle and clean. However, the lowest speed setting is not adjustable and is still too fast for initially mixing dry/wet ingredients without splashing. I had high hopes for this product in this aspect.

This hand mixer is excellent. It's my preferred choice over my beloved KitchenAid stand mixer. I always reach for this Courant mixer.

I only used this mixer once since I bought it, but I was really impressed with its power when I kneaded bread dough. My old mixer would have struggled, but this one powered through effortlessly. I'm really happy with my purchase.

I've been extremely impressed with this mixer. It has incredible power for a hand mixer and I definitely recommend it, along with all Courant products. While they may be more expensive than other brands, in my opinion they are well worth the investment as they have proven to be very durable.

This mixer has been great. I've had one for years and recently bought another one as a gift. It's perfect for making cakes.

This product works perfectly! It's exactly as described in the advertisement.
