I got this mixer as a Christmas present, thanks mom and dad! It is excellent. The attachments it comes with are enough to get started with. The cover has definitely come in hang when mixing liquids and keeping them from splashing all over my counters. I tend to make a lot of ice cream so I bought the ice cream attachment for myself (my love for that device is another review, spoiler alert, it is amazing, IF you take care of it), and use the stand mixer to mix together all the ingredients before pouring them into the ice cream attachment. The motor is awesome and does a fine job at turning the ice cream attachment for the 20 minutes it needs.
My only complaint is that I wish the mixing attachments reached about 1/4 inch further down in the bowl. When making frostings and the ice cream batter I have to stop the mixer to use a spatula to get all the cream cheese to incorporate into the batters.
I waited for years for this mixer.....and am so happy I finally have one. I really like all the color choices (I chose persimmon, and it is beautiful!). I am more of a cook than a baker, but my kids are hoping that those two will even out a bit more now that I have this wonderful mixer. I am very impressed at the ease of how the attachments go on and off. Looking forward to exploring all that this appliance can do!
I love my new kitchenAid! I bought it so my daughter and I can have fun in the kitchen while we cook and it worked!! It takes so much work out of prepping. Just set-up and go.
I love my kitchen aid. And the light pink is perfect not too extreme and very classic. I use it once a week since November It is great and really simple to use. If you buy it you won't regret it. My only complaint is that if it gets to a high speed the head moves up and down.
I've wanted my own KitchenAid mixer for some time now, and this past Christmas my dreams came true thanks to a wonderful husband! It has been the best asset to my kitchen. It functions perfectly and looks good, too! I feel like a professional chef every time I use it.
