Title: Pretty but not practical
Product review: Well..I read the previous reviews and thought the mixer couldn't be all that bad. I paid attention to those who had bought the "plastic" mixers and how they weren't stable so I bought the die cast metal. The price was right,it had all the features and size bowl I wanted, and it looks so nice so i thought I'd try it. Well....I used it twice and sadly to say, it's going back to the store.The first time I made a batch of oatmeal cookies. Creaming the ingredients was fine, but as soon as I got the flour and oatmeal in the mix, the mixer and bowl started rocking and jerking as the mix hit the beaters. Decided I can't turn away from that for a second! The second time was a coffee cake batter, smooth & creamy and no rocking this time, but the bowl wouldn't spin to mix the batter. Plus then I started to get the overheated motor smell.Not sure what I'll get now cause I really don't want to spend $200+ on a mixer, but this one wasn't it.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
