Look: It has a major flaw. The blender on its own is just great, but the chopper attachment has a major flaw. It does its job pretty well, i.e. chopping up and acting like a pretty good food processor. But, the top cover is not designed right. Water gets into it after you wash it. And there is no way for the water to come out. My husband now made two holes on the cover so that the water is not retained inside any more. If not, the old, dirty water seeps out gradually and may come out to the new food in your next blending process! Yuk! I'm surprised that the manufacturer didn't think about this problem when designing this product!

I was thrilled to find this mixer at a good price, but was distressed to find it did not live up to my expectations. I have had a KitchenAid Artisan for a few years, and it was okay to begin with; I actually like the basic better. However, the Artisan seemed to be wearing out fairly fast, and there is a cookie recipe my family loves whose somewhat stiff dough was a challenge for my KA’s 325-watt motor. While having seen mixed reviews elsewhere of this item (no pun intended), I was hopeful that the 800 watt motor would kick cookie dough b*tt the way one would think a motor with over twice my current wattage would. (It is apparently difficult to review mixers without unintentional plays on words.) Alas, no such luck. While at times the power seemed sufficient, there were other times that it labored and whined while attempting to subdue the glob of refined sugar, white flour, and other toxic elements. I will say, when I mixed something with little to no resistance, e.g. chocolate frosting, it beat any other mixer I have ever used. (See? It’s happening again.) While the general appearance and style is quite nice, the bowl handle sticks straight out from the front, which can make for awkward handling. If it had been everything I had expected, it still would have been a splurge for my budget, but worthwhile.
