The normal speed is pretty fast, and the second speed is amazing. I didn't have much hope due to the price, but it has surprised me!

Works fine, but it's HUGE. I thought I was buying a nice little mixer, and was extremely surprised to see the size of this thing. Perhaps I just missed the dimensions in the description, but this thing is enormous (in my opinion, of course). Will be shopping for something much, much smaller and not so heavy.
