The new smart mixer does a decent job on the basics, but it’s not a game‑changer. The motor is strong enough for dough, but it struggles with thick batters and can hum louder than your old hand mixer. The smart features—app control, recipe presets, automatic speed curves—are nice, but they add a bulkier design and a price tag that edges it out of the sweet spot for most kitchens. In value terms, you’re paying for tech that could be done with a solid manual stand mixer for a fraction of the cost. If you’re a tech enthusiast who loves the convenience of a touchscreen and remote control, you’ll see the value. For anyone else, it’s an over‑priced upgrade that doesn’t justify its weight or price over the tried‑and‑true models.

Got it, that’s the quick verdict. If you’re all about the app control, just remember the smart features can add a few extra kilos to your counter and a pricier tag. Test it on a simple cake batter first, see if the auto‑speed does what it promises, and watch for any Wi‑Fi hiccups. Drop me a line after you’ve actually mixed something—I'd love to see the app stats compared to the manual grind.
