I bought this for my elderly mother when her old stand mixer went out. She can't make a heavier pound or bundt cake any more with a hand mixer alone (and I don't want to think of a world without her homemade cakes). I was looking for value and mixing bowl size so this was a no-brainer. Turns out, it's almost as big and heavy as my mom. She lives alone and, once this thing is in a location on her counter, that's where it stays until she can get someone to move it. She loves it and gushes about it's capabilities, even uses it often, but it's a monster. So, great mixer, heavy duty, sturdy, large-capacity, restraunt quality, too big for little old ladies and small kitchens.
