Solid and silent machine, but heavy and dubious metal
Plus: Love that the machine is so silent. This is why I chose it. The motor hardly makes any noise - I only hear the movement of the mixing element on the bowl! Very solid construction and cool retro design Minus: weighs 19kgs!!! This is not a mixer you wanna move in and out of the kitchen cupboards. Also, the metal mixing components all have a weird metallic smell even after washing which makes me doubt the type of metal used. True stainless steel usually has no smell.
