I received the silver 5 Quart stand mixer for my birthday last month. I bake quite often and have always used a hand mixer. I was impressed with this item because it was very easy to use, easy to clean, and so much less work compared to the hand mixer I used. I can't wait to buy more attachments, especially the spiralizer. I'm also waiting on my meat grinder attachment to arrive. I would recommend this item to friends because it is a quality piece that every kitchen should have!
My husband bought me this mixer for our 10th anniversary. I had always wanted one. I have baked every weekend since I got it and I would not trade it for anything!! I Love it!!!
I have always admired the quality of Kitchen Aid Mixers and now I have one! I use it often and look forward to using it for many more delicious cakes, etc., in the future.
