Easy to use and easy to clean. Does work quickly . Very good product

Avoid like the plague. Cheap design, worse execution. I've had one since April and have had nothing but problems. What everyone says about the attachments is true, dry ingredients stay on the bottom, while the wet ingredients mix on top of them. No problem, I hear you say! Just start with wets then add drys then it should work just fine! Nope. Do that and when a ball of dough forms the bowl jumps out of its lock and breaks nearby tiles or tries to throw the machine on its side. With the provided recipes. The pasta attachments?! Fantastic! Who doesn't love plastic drive gears that shear after three uses? Even on the second set that was a warranty replacement? That can roll and okay lasagna sheet but the second you use the cutters it gums up and makes a massive mess, even if the pasta and machine has been covered in dry flour. Great! It makes grinding sounds when operating? That change depending on temperature, humidity and if the windows open vs if the AC is on? Great! I'm getting a refund on the entire thing, if there's plastic drive gears in the pasta attachment then it obviously isn't built to last. Don't waste your time and buy the real thing elsewhere. A few extra bucks now saves a tonne of headaches over the coming months.

I bought last year brand new stand mixer, but I am disappointed at the performance , I have hardly used it and it started creating noises , the bowl also moves around when I increase the speed settings , I am so fond of SMEG brand and have an entire bench top full of SMEg appliances in my kitchen, but th stand mixer has disappointed my trust in SmEg
