First off, I've never used a stand mixer before but I've found this one pretty easy to use. It's pretty basic with one large knob for the different power levels and a nice sized button to push in to raise or lower the mixer. Although the attachments are easy to put on/take off, I had a bit of a time getting the plastic cover to stay on at first but it turned out, I was the problem and not it. The only complaint I have ,and like I said, I'm new at this is that it's a bit awkward to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatchula with the mixer in the down position and the recommended flour max is two cups(which, again is my fault for not realizing the capacity of the bowl at purchase).  Read Less
