had it for about 1.5 years use rarely (maybe 50 times) and the rubber has been falling off into bits over the past 6 months. Just ate a cookie and found a piece of rubber in my mouth. Not pleasant. Mixer works ok otherwise. This is not a "high end" product.

I love the mixer itself; however, the rubber on the beaters is falling off!! The design is ridiculously flawed, and a non-plastic-coated replacement should be offered.

The mixer is generally nice however one of the beaters (the one without the flange) does not lock into place and continually falls out of the beater socket into the mixing bowl. It used to be a periodic occurence but now occurs 100% of the time. We now use it only when essential for preparation.
