u0026#149;u0026#032; Basic instructions, multiple languages, very limited. Some more detailed information can be found on the KitchenAid website. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Control lever stiff to operate.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; The motor head does not tilt, the bowl is raised or lowered by a large handle at the back of the unit. OK to access. Annoying if constantly scraping the bowl. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Unit can still operate even though the bowl is not raised into position. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Need to align bowl correctly in a specific position to lock into place, can be fiddly to align all three points. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; No eject button to remove beater, hand can come in contact with mixture. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Mixing bowl is large and may not fit comfortably in a domestic sink. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Difficult to store due to size, best left on the benchtop. u003cbru003e
