I received this for Christmas, and love it. I absolutely love to bake, and this makes that so much easier to do. I would definitely recommend getting the accessory beater with the spatula attached, which makes it so that you do not have to stop and scrape the edges of the bowl constantly. The two BIG downfalls to this mixer that I am going to wait a little longer before I contact Kitchenaid about them:
1: The motor gets bogged down on stir mode. This is the lowest setting on the mixer, and while using their cookie recipe it says to use this setting. I did everything exactly as directed in the recipe and while adding the flour it seemed like the motor almost couldn't handle it.
2: I have the metal bowl, and even though I have thoroughly washed the bowl several times now there is something metallic coming off of it, and you can see it in the cookie dough. This is concerning to me, but I am considering just getting the glass bowl to remedy this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with my KitchenAid mixer. Use it as often as I can
I received my KitchenAid Mixer as a gift. The gift was many years delayed as we didn't have the money and my husband wanted to give me only the best. Now, 15 years after we divorced, he finally came through. Plus he purchased the additional attachments. He cared enough to give the very best and I was happy to wait.
Pros: Performance, Design, easy to use, Convenient Features
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best mixer I've ever used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Heavy, but my husband put it on something that makes it easy to slide forward for use. I'm 81 years old and don't have a lot of strength in my hands. Don't know why I didn't purchase a Kitchenaid many years ago.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was given as a Christmas gift. I am so happy with the performance. What have I done all my life without my Kitchenaid
I absolutely love my stand mixer. We got it as a gift for our wedding and I use it at least 3 times a week to make cookies, bread, shred chicken (my personal favorite), mix, etc. I don't think I will ever go back to not having one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is to replace a Kitchenaid mixer that was stolen from me 3 years ago. I had had the stolen one since 1981 and it was always reliable, and easy clean up. You gotta' love them! Kitchenaid, the only aid you need!
