I use this machine a couple of times a week to mix and knead my homemade bread. It successfully handles up to 9 cups of flour in the 10 cup capacity bowl, but the dough does creep up and around the top of the hook. My only complaint is that the metal ring at the base of the mixing head will not stay on, so I have had to leave it off. The machine gets hot after 8-10 minutes of mixing very stiff dough, but handles impressively well. I have read that the fancier machines have more problems, like the bowl lift being difficult to operate. I like the basic features, strong motor, and large bowl design. Sometimes less is more. I love my machine and it has made my bread making effortless. This machine is a great value (especially when on sale or if you purchase a less popular color) and I would recommend it to the home baker.
Pros: easy to use, comfortable bowl handle, Performance
Cons: metal ring at base of mixing head won't stay on
After years of wishing, my husband got me this for our anniversary. In the 3 weeks since I received it, I've made yeast rolls, cinnamon rolls, cakes, cookies, bread, frosting...I can't stop using it! It's comparatively quiet, which is great since I have a newborn and easy to switch out attachments and clean
After months and months of my husband suggesting I go ahead and buy a stand mixer, I did. I am so happy that I did too! It's great. It makes mixing anything so easy. No more fighting my hand mixer to get through dense cookie batters and the like!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third mixer. My first one (1966) is now in my granddaughters kitchen. The second one was my mom’s (1998, this was my mom’s second one, first, 1960, is in my daughters kitchen ) and is going to my second granddaughter. These are amazing mixers and am looking forward to many more happy mixing years!!!
This is my second kitchen aid. My first I had for 20 yrs. best mixer ever
I would recommend this to a friend!
