I got this as a wedding present. The mixer has a wonderful motor, and I tested some limits within the first week of receiving it. It does a great job on small bread/pizza doughs, but much more than a few cups of flour on such a thick dough is too much. The lock holding the tilting lit in place gets forced open and the whole head may bounce open if the dough is too thick. It is perfect for quick breads and smaller cookie batches.
I got the kitchen aid for Christmas. I have been wanting one for a long time. I like that the mixer turns itself because my last mixer didn't. I love the fact that I can buy the attachments to make my own pasta, and grind my own meat. It looks good too and I got it my color.
My boyfriend bought me this for giftmas after I lusted after it for YEARS. I use it at least once a week, sometimes more. It is like heaven in appliance form.
I bought this stand mixer right before Christmas. Besides the major appliances in my kitchen this is the best kitchen appliance I own. I love it and use it probably 3 to 4 times a week at least and have already bought a lot of attachments for it. I've been able to make things homemade that I never used to make. And great for mixing up meatballs or meatloaf because it keeps your hands clean. It is also the only small appliance I allow to stay out on my counter besides coffee maker. The flex edge beater really does make a difference for mixing up batters. Love it
