I bought this a while ago and I use it for almost everything. I am a baker so I use it all the time. I absolutely LOVE IT! This is a product I do not regret buying.
Ive had my kitchenaid mixer for 3 months now. I have not found anything i do not like about it. I have since purchased an ice cream attachment, food grinder attachment, annd sausage maker attachment. Have not been able yo use the sausage maker yet, but the other attachments work well. I have mainly used my mixer with the dough hook to make bread for lunches.
I like the look of this mixer. The bowl is nice and deep. I do find it difficult to mix in the flour and liquid after beating the butter and sugar-The paddle that came with the mixer did not scoop up the flour, but sent it to the sides of the bowl, so I had to stop and scrap very often. I found this annoying. I am considering purchasing the wire beater-hopefully that will be more satisfactory.
I bought this mixer to help with having to make more homemade food since my son was diagnosed with Celiac. It has lived up to expectations. I use it for everything and it has been wonderful for mixing breads, etc. Would recommended it to anyone looking.
