I have been waiting a long time for this and it is worth the wait. It has saved my arm from bread and cookie prep. It looks great on my kitchen counter. I put a thin pot holder under it to slide it out when I need it; it is heavy.
LOVE my new mixer! Received as a Christmas gift from my son and daughter in law to replace a 30 yr old Sunbeam. So smooth and quiet, it makes baking effortless. Looking forward to getting and using some attachments!
Love the Artisan Mixer. I make a lot of honey wheat bread and it is hard for me to knead it by hand. Since I received the mixer for Christmas, I have made it twice a week. My daughter liked the one she gave me so much, that she bought herself one. I just gave my granddaughter one for a college graduation present. I sure would like to receive the free blender, as I am retired and don't have extra money. If you send it to me, I will continue to be a good spokesman for Kitchen Aid. As a matter of fact, I have a Kitchen Aid refrigerator due to be delivered in the next week.
I have had this a few months and have used it so many times. I love making bread and this has me making it often. With my arthritic hands, hand kneading is a chore. This is great.
I bought this during the holiday season and it has changed my life! It is so nice not having to knead my bread by hand anymore. Plus, I can just flip it on and go do other stuff in the kitchen. I highly recommend for any level of baker.
My husband gave this to me as a gift after we renovated our kitchen... I love to bake.. and it has made doing my baking projects so much easier!!! love it!!
