I was so excited to open up the box and my mouth dropped at the quality of the finish and how professional it looked. I was worried it would be too heavy for me, but because it has a recessed area on each side of the base to grab onto, it makes it comfortably easy to pick up and move. It comes with a handle on the front to help lift the head which is also nice. I was really impressed with the handle as it is heavy like the handles on an All-Clad pan...very sturdy and well-made. It looks so good on my counter-top and would go with any kitchen décor.
It's super simple to attach the attachments. I sometimes make things more difficult than they really are but this was just push up and turn and the attachment locked on. The mixing bowl is the same. It doesn't lock like the bowl of a food processor though, you fit it into the recess and turn and that's it. That made me a bit nervous but it was fine.
It comes with a dough hook, wire whip, and two types of beaters. One is called a Scraper/Beater and is made for creaming and light tasks and the other Flat Beater is for heavier dough. Each beater is made for certain tasks...for instance, don't use the Scraper/Beater to beat eggs.
I tried out the dough hook on a new recipe for Parker House rolls and I was amazed. I removed the dough after it came loose from the sides as the recipe instructed and the dough was kneaded perfectly as if I had done it by hand... I didn't have to do a thing but put it in a bowl to let it rise! I felt so lazy...lol
I can't help but glance over at this beautiful piece of kitchen equipment as I walk thru my kitchen. Breville has done an outstanding job with this mixer.
