I'm a casual baker and find this item to be big enough for my baking needs. I love the fact that I don't have to do any manual mixing, stirring etc. I just watch it go and turn the knob off when done. No splashing out of the bowl and easy clean up, just wipe the unit down. Because the suction legs are so strong, I keep a cross wired tray under it when in storage, so I don't have a tough time pulling it out of the cupboard where stored.
