I finally bought this about a month ago and now I know why everyone raves about their kitchenaid mixer. I've made dough, pie fillings, quick breads And even meatloaf in this mixer and everything comes out great! So easy to use. Wish I bought this sooner!!
I can't believe how easy this is to use compared to my hand mixer! It is saving my arm and hand from pain by doing the stirring for me. I can also leave it as it mixes to grab another ingredient, answer the phone, or respond to my grandchild!
I'm loving the stand mixer. I've used each of the blades. It cuts my prep time tremendously, allowing me to work on other tasks. My clean up is much easier too.
I have had my kitchen aid for what seems like forever,(at least 10 years) and I love it! My daughter is a junior in college and is in her first apartment and begged for her own kitchen aid since I wouldn't let her take mine to school. She has grown up with it and actually gave me a list with bullet points as to why it would be more economically sound to get her one now instead of waiting for it to be a wedding gift! It took 3 months of begging but we finally gave in and I will have one if the happiest "adult children" this Christmas because she is getting in her words " one of the most useful and versatile kitchen tools I will ever use! Really mom it will save you money in the long run because you won't have to keep replacing it!"
I have always used kitchen aid mixers and this artisan mixer is great. Makes bread and roll dough mixing and kneading easy.I would not ever be without one. Gave one to each daughter as a must in their kitchen.
I bought this two months ago, and couldn't be happier with the results. Extremely well made and simple to operate, I've made a ton of excellent baked goods since I bought it. Would definitely buy again and recommend to a friend.
