Not Kitchen Aide quality!!

I have a Kitchen Aide stand mixer which as most people agree is the work horse of all mixers. I have a Black and Decker hand mixer I have had for 20+ years and although it is still working great I thought I should probably get another one because it could die at any time because it is so old. I bought this mixer thinking that if my stand mixer is so well made and has a lot of power then this hand mixer has to be the best-NOT!!!!!!!!! I am totally disgusted with this piece of junk!!!! It is all plastic and the little bit of power is lame!! My old mixer had a power boost-this one does not but it seriously needs one!! The controller on top is a pain- you turn on the mixer and then you have to hit a rubber button over and over until you get your speed. If you have to turn it off to add ingredients,scrape the bowl etc. you turn it on again it starts on low again so you have to use this button and bump up the speed- the rubber button will wear out before the mixer (maybe). I am glad I didn't get rid of my old mixer!!!! Does anyone want a free mixer?????!!!
