What is the advantage of a hand mixer?

What are some advantages of a stand mixer over the hand held mixer?
Stand mixers require less attention – A stand mixer is able to run on its own without being held or supported, which takes some of the physical strain out of cooking and baking. A stand mixer can also allow you to multitask while it churns through ingredients, whereas both hands are required when using a hand mixer.

How does a hand mixer operate?
To use a handheld mixer, you first plug it in and attach two balloon whisks. The whisks start to rotate due to an electric motor inside the device. The whisks will mix, beat or whip the ingredients, depending on your speed setting. They will also incorporate air into your ingredients, giving them a “fluffier” texture.
