Great Mixer for Everything

I love my mixer so much. I use it for everything I can in the kitchen. It has been able to handle everything I could throw at it. I love being able to walk away while it's mixing bread dough or meringue. Also, the planetary mixing motion (the beater spins in one direction while circling inside the bowl in the other direction)is great for thoroughly mixing ingredients and getting an even mix. However, I have run into trouble when the mixture is thick or sticky, like with cheesecake batter. You need to take the bowl out and scrape the bottom really well to make sure all of the cream cheese gets mixed in. It's a bit of a hassle, but nothing else would do the job any better anyway.
