This is probably one of my worst purchases in a long time. I returned it after a few days. It is just a normal hand mixer fixed to a stand mixer. Its made of cheap plastic and the quality looks cheap. Regarding mixing, it might mix more liquid batters which your ordinary hand mixer can handle. But if you plan to mix a dough for bread, don't use this. It doesn't mix properly. You have to keep putting the spatula in to take out stuff sticking on to the sides. The things at the bottom don't mix because the dough hooks are a bit too small. This thing is so light that if left unattended starts rocking and may fall on the ground. I know its cheap but what it does can be done with any $20 hand mixer.
