This mixer was brought for me for xmas and is useless used it xmas day to try & whip up cream for my paverlova. It took forever to whip the cream, even using the boost button it still took over 10 mins,my daughter was using my new $20 handheld mixer to whip cream for her brandy snaps she was finished filling them before my cream was even whipped, if it is this slow whipping cream what will it be like with creaming butter and sugar for a cake. Really not impressed.
