I have been using it almost everyday, it is a great product that makes my cakes and breads so soft. It is easy to use, however, I found that it would be quite hot after using for several minutes.
I have now used this machine for over a month and am generally happy with it. It is very durable and the slow speed is very quiet. My complaints and the reason that it did not get 5 stars: Raising and lowering the tilt head is a cautious operation, hold on to it with both hands. The switch moves from stop to full with a touch so always be conscious of using it or you will throw the contents of the bowl all over. Because the machine is very heavy it is hard to move on the counter. I have placed mine on a cutting board. It makes it a little more noisy but much easier to move about.
I received this as a Christmas gift, and I love it. It does need a little adjustment to get the attachment clearance perfect inside the bowl. I have a tiny bit of trouble finessing the speed lever, too, but this stand mixer has made baking so much easier.
I purchased this for mom few weeks ago. Her old Kitchenaid finally gave up after 10 yrs of use. We're hoping this 1 will last another 10 maybe longer! She loves it!
How did I ever get along in my kitchen without it?!

I bought my very first Kitchenaid mixer later in life. I figured it wasn't really any big deal until I saw a great deal on it at Kohl's and decided since I was taking a cake decorating class it would be a good thing to have on hand. WOW! I love it and my husband can't stop making chocolate chip cookies because it's so much easier. My only negative is now I've put weight on! (thanks, hubby and Kitchenaid!) I would like to try some other attachments now. It certainly has been a welcome addition to my kitchen! I bought a basic color (grey) but now wish I'd gone "wild" and bought a fun bright color!!! GO FOR IT!!!
