Cons

Some users have complained of motor oil leaking out of the machine and spilling into the food in the mixing bowl. Others have also said that they find the unit too large and way too heavy. These people who said these prefer a lighter and smaller model since they rarely ever use the beater at home. Some find the unit too expensive.

Another review said that the bowl getting stuck on the base. Customer service told them that the bowl may tend to do this after continuous use.

If the machine is in good working condition, the bowl should come off the base easily, neither should the motor oil leak into your food.
