As a hand mixer, it's fine. There are certain jobs that a hand mixer is best for: making French buttercream, meringues,and genoise cakes. You really don't need a super duper powerful 9 speed hand mixer for this, in fact, it's overkill. The vast majority of people who have expensive stand mixers use them infrequently. You don't need a stand mixer to whip egg whites. Back in the day, people whipped cream and egg whites with a whisk....imagine that.
Genoise and buttercreams require at least 5 minutes of beating, which is very boring, and hard on the hands. That's what this item is good for. You have work with it, rotating the bowl, and scraping with the spatula - but you have to scrape down the bowl if you use an expensive stand mixer as well. There are many recipes that tell you to "scrape down the bowl" - using a KitchenAid. So I can't hold that against this item.
You need to learn to work with this item. If you have a small recipe, put something underneath the bowl so that the beaters get to all the ingredients. This is no big deal.
Re: bread. This item is not powerful enough to mix bread doughs. I used it once and it was really laboring hard. I figured out a way to mix the dough, putting the liquid ingredients into the bowl and adding 75% of the dry, then finishing off with hand kneading. I don't mind this, because I think that hand kneading is the only way to go but some might object. I have also read that many more expensive mixers have a problem with bread dough. If you are a dedicated bread baker, buy a more powerful genuine stand mixer.
To conclude: this is a reasonably priced hand mixer, which performs more than adequately, and which can be used for hand mixer purposes that require prolonged beating.
If you want an expensive stand mixer, buy one of those.
Note: I only recently bought this item. If it breaks down, I'll revise my review.
PS: The vast majority of electronic appliances are now made in China. If that's a problem, take it up with the management - of the United States, as well as the company. Otherwise, go back to using hand whisks.
Update May 14, 2014: I note that many reviewers here criticize the bowl. This is not a valid criticism of the actual mixer. Use a different vessel depending on what you are baking, or cooking. Please see this classic Julia Child video on the subject:
[...]
Julia begins by pointing out that the bowl that came with her mixer isn't going to do the job - so she changes the bowl. You have to know what you are doing. YOU are in control, the mixer is just a tool.
I repeat that for what it is: a hand mixer that you can attach to a stand, it's fine. If it should break within a year, I'll report that promptly.
We don't have a lot of use for a mixer. I've been making home-made bread for 25 years. Our old mixer is a bit beat up and archaic, and I finally had an accident that broke its glass bowl. I was hoping for a decent dough mixer — that's all. Dough hooks. Why not?
Perhaps I should have paid more serious heed to reviews which clearly complained about the mixers not reaching the bottom of the bowl. This is an issue. But there is another serious issue too — speed.
MIXER SPEED AND DOUGH HOOK REACH AS PERTAINS TO BREAD MAKING
The engineers of this product could not make bread. The dough hooks were amazingly small. I wondered if they could possibly do much of a job of mixing dough. Maybe so. Maybe not. But I can understand the restricted size being intended not to overtax the electric motor. Anyway... the mind was open... even though unboxing this mixer cast some doubt. I was into a bit of a surprise still.
PILLSBURY DOUGH-BOY SPEED
Yes the instructions for the mixer advise to detach the mixer for dough making. But that makes no difference as far as the PILLSBURY DOUGH-BOY MIXER SPEEDS provided. It really seems to me that the only reason for this instruction is to deflect blame for designing the mixer blades or dough hooks not to reach deep enough into the ingredients you intend to mix. That shortcoming is ridiculous however, because there's a lifting action from the rotation that keeps the blades off the bottom of the mixing bowl in hand mode. Your dough hooks have to get down to the water in the bowl. You properly add your ingredients, and all this thing is going to do is blow flower all over the kitchen. No kidding.
That's right. Just as bad as the failure of the dough hooks to reach the bottom of the mixing bowl however is the fact that the slowest speed is just way too fast to begin mixing your dough. With blades up above the water, not only can you not mix, you're just going to blow flower into the air instead. Worse, the damn fan on the motor may be necessary for cooling, but *because* the dough hooks rotate far too fast at the slowest speeds, the fan sucks flower into the motor — covering the whole interior — and exterior as well. One quick use, and the motor is plastered with flour inside and out — and your whole freaking kitchen is as well.
This isn't a matter of back to the drawing board to scrap the whole design however, fellas. AT LEAST make dough a couple of times. Go have an office party. Over-consume a few bottles of Tequila — and laugh it off.
1. Lengthen those dough hooks whatever it takes — 3/16 or 1/4 inch?
2. Give us a slow enough initial speed that we can blend the water enough with the flower (under almost no resistance at all by the way)... so that once we do that, we can turn up the speed for real mixing — without making a mess that will take half an hour to clean up.
3. The other thing you need to realize is that the dough-mixing operation should go just fine on its own. In other words, once we turn the speed up to complete the mixing, we should be able to walk away from that process — wash a couple of dishes... whatever. The damn thing has a stand. And the offset rotating bowl feature is just what we thought we wanted. Don't give us some instructions to hand-hold the damn thing just because you didn't make the dough hooks reach the water. That's freaking stupid... in an ever more stupid world... maybe it's what we should expect. Ay, it comes with a stand and a rotating bowl table... but NEVER use them. We just make them to take up cupboard space.
Just the same, that's all this little mixer might need to make it one heck of a product.
Until then, I'm not making bread unless we need to clean the house.
No, it's not worth the postage to send the damn thing back. But how many times in the history of simple kitchen utilities can "engineers" totally frick up achieving simple design objectives which have long been achieved?
One other thing: The means of attaching and detaching the mixer from its stand is a bit cheap and funky. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

I bought this for my daughter since she loves baking and we both use it all the time.
It is sturdy and does the job well. I have tried all the attachments to ensure that they could hold up to our baking adventures and they all did.
Very good appliance. I definitely recommend it.

Only thing I wish for is more bowls, they are perfectly shaped! But I did use many kinds of bowls with this, including glass, and no issues at all.
