Not Happy

I bought this mixer mainly because it was inexpensive and it had dough hooks, so I could mix bread. Boy, was I mistaken! For one thing you have to spin the heavy bowl around yourself. Also, the dough hooks would not stay in due to the dough getting stuck on them and pulling them down. I spent 10 minutes mixing the dough and pulling the dough down off the one hook that managed to stay in. My hand was really strained after that. I ended up packing the mixer back up to take back to the store and will get a more expensive mixer, but one that can stand up to bread dough and other heavy batters, like cookies. What a waste!
