This mixer is the gold standard of mixers - so much so, this is the second one I've bought. I make large batches of cookies and breads, which this machine handles well.
Received as a Christmas present and love it!!! It is far superior to my previous mixer and is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent mixer. Only downside is that it is heavy. I prefer not to keep my appliances out on the kitchen counters so it is tricky to lift out of the cabinet where it is housed.
I waited years for a Kitchen Aid Mixer and was so excited when my husband surprised me with one for my birthday. What a wonderful gift. I use it almost everyday and have never had a problem with it. I use it for all kinds of baking, shredding chicken, dinner, ect. I absolutely love it and wouldnt want any other kind of mixer. Hoping to purchase some attachments soon.
I received this mixer for Christmas after wanting one for years. It radically simplifies and speeds up cooking and baking. I was assigned whipped cream and strawberries for Easter and know now I'll never buy ready made whipped cream again. Super fast! I am also more inclined to make cookies as it handles the stiffest of batter with ease.
