I like how fast it mixes everything, however it is a little inconvenient to scrape down the sides when it is necessary. Sometimes you have to remove the mixing blade to get at the sides and this can be very messy..
I already owned a kitchenaid classic which I am still using for 20+ years. I just decided to up grade. It is a wonderful product. It just makes baking so much easier.
I bought this because I went and lived at my parents house as they were in bad health and my mother has a heavy duty Kitchenaid mixer. It just made life in the cooking department so much easier!
I've never had a stand mixer and I am thrilled with my first one. I haven't had a chance to do a bunch with it but my first efforts were great. 2 batches of cookies and 2 loaves of bread were really easy to prepare.
I knew I had to have Kitchenaid mixer the first time i saw my sister's mixer in action while preparing for Christmas dinner. The mixer was used to prepare part of every course and made short work of pie crusts, breads and appetizers. Now I have my very own espresso brown mixer - and I'm loving it!
When I got engaged, I went on a frenzy of buying all KitchenAid tools due to their stellar reputation of being able to handle the wear and tear of life. I bought this to complete my KitchenAid Green Apple items. This and the hand blender are the only two pieces I was missing. It matches perfectly with the rest of my Kitchenaid green apple clad kitchen. I didn't know if I'd like the plastic guard over the top of it, but I tend to be a mess maker. It's definitely helped prevent a ton of messes I am prone to making. I couldn't be happier and look forward to buying attachments for it to really get down to business in homemade cooking!
