This whisk works better than the metal ones from the grocery gadget section.  It is far more hygenic too.  The plastic whip portion doesn't beat up glass dishes.  However, on the downside, the weight of the handle takes a little getting used to.  It IS heavier than the cheaper version and "got away from me" on the first few uses, leaving quite a mess of whips eggs goo on counter.  Just an FYI :)
