Is the mixer heavy to hold?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before initial use, wash the chrome beaters and dough hooks in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Ensure the mixer is unplugged before inserting the desired attachments into the slots until they click into place.
Compatibility: The unit is designed for standard domestic power outlets. Always ensure the speed selector is set to '0' before plugging in the device.
Care: Clean the main mixer body by wiping it down with a damp, soft cloth. Never submerge the motor unit in water. The chrome attachments should be washed by hand rather than placed in a dishwasher to prevent corrosion and maintain their appearance.
