Bet you didn’t even know you needed the Pro!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me first admit: I've been a Kitchenaid Artisan girl for a long time... been through 3 iterations of them, each of which upgrading was a preference, not a breakdown issue. I've been very happy with artisan's performance and have used them heavily by themselves and with a plethora of attachments from meat grinding to zucchini noodles and everything in between. But one fateful evening, I listened over dinner with a coworker over how she bought a Kitchenaid Pro and "everything's better, bread is fantastic, cookie dough superior, blah blah blah." This went on for much longer than I thought it should have! But, yes, when it was time to do another upgrade, I jumped on the Kitchenaid Pro Boat to check it out. I really had no specific reason I needed the upgrade, more curiosity than anything else, and I truly didn't expect to find anything much different from my artisan that I've loved for so long.
Yes, I understand why my friend went on and on about it now. Just Wow! Its quite hard to describe without someone just using it, but she was completely correct - the home recipe batter that I've been making for years came out with a FAR superior texture. I have many people in my family with health conditions that require very specific diets, leading me to create some very strange cakes that are devoid of sugar, and most things that make cakes easy to make - so they tend to come out rather strangely too. Using this Pro Line Bowl lift 7 Quart, I've had them come out as close to actual "normal" cakes as Ive ever seen! (any one who makes crazy diet restriction treats knows this is quite an accomplishment.) Making Bread dough with this has been a game changer too, this machine couldn't be more stable while working on my challah bread (of course, best french toast ever!) It feels like this thing could run all day without blinking an eye, the only problem I've had with it was that I didn't realize I wasn't clicking the bowl fully on the machine in the back (It has a divitt on the back of the pot that goes into a hole on the back, which makes it super sturdy. I was just laying it on until I thought it felt secure, leading me to hear a clicking sound when it was on. I felt super silly after I realized what I did, but when clicked in properly it runs effortlessly. I also must admit, I overuse the double flex edge attachment - it's just so satisfying to see it mix up absolutely every last molecule in the bowl :) By far, this is the best experience I've had with mixers, and if you're even slightly considering going with the pro, take the leap. It's just plain shocking to see how the extra power improves everything!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sturdy and powerful mixer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first KitchenAid mixer with the lift design. Right out of the box, it's heavy - certainly not light weight. The build is slender without being wide, so it takes up less counter space. I had to use a little force to push to bowl onto the back base. Removing it is as easy as lifting it up. IMO, using the lever to lift the bowl is superior to the tilt heads since it doesn't require locking or constant tilting. The lever adjusts the bowl in one swift motion. I use the 7 qt bowl which feels light in my hands. On speeds 2 - 4, it mixed brownie batter in under 20 seconds. The paddle reached completely to the bottom. I didn't need to do any adjusting or scraping. All of the ingredients mixed from top to bottom. This is ideal for large batches. It will do the work for you and give your arms a break. For smaller batches, it will combine your ingredients efficiently and you won't need much interference. I recommend for those with arthritis. I'd also keep it on the counter rather than pulling randomly as it's quite heavy.
PROS: Sturdy, slender build, large capacity, no scraping required, low sound, fast speeds, pro at mixing heavy ingredients.
CONS: Weighs heavy, bowl attachment requires force.

So powerful, quick and easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow this mixer is great. Years ago I had a large kitchen aid mixer and I gave it away as it took up so much room and was so bulky. But this one is slender and so easy to use. I bake banana bread with my grandchildren all the time and this makes it so much easier. It’s thorough in that it quickly gets all the ingredients mixed up- no need to use a spatula to get the ingredients on the bottom mixed up. I just love it. And having the large bowl makes it so much easier to double the recipes! Kitchen Aid is a quality name and this mixer is a very sturdy and quality piece of equipment!
I would recommend this to a friend!

First mixer and so far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first mixer we (wife) have owned, so have had to do some research into proper methods to use. So far, it has only been used to make a couple loaves of bread. There is a bit of a learning curve, but that's more of a 'learning to bake' moreso than learning to use the mixer. The mixer is heavy and appears to be of great quality. Kitchaid has a reputation for products that last a long time, and we are glad to have been able to add this to our kitchen. Looking forward to expanding use of this device and trying some new recipes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this mixer. I had the 6 qt professional for about 20 years and loved it but this one is even better! So glad my old attachments are still good. The number of speeds is amazing, and it is very quiet.
