Underpowered

Posted by: Kay
The empire red is gorgeous, but I swear this mixer doesn't have the power that our 27 year old mixer still has.

Holding pin
on December 31, 2025
Posted by: Craig1
from Byron Center, MI and Leesburg, FL
This is the 4th mixer I have purchased. One for each house and another for my daughter. Only one mixer wore out after 20+ years. Once criticism is that the pin holding the mixer to the stand will slide out when mixing heavy batter or dough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought this mixer before the holidays and are so glad we did! It made our holiday baking so much easier. I wish we had one years ago. I would recommend this Tilt-Head mixer to anyone :)

I purchased this beautiful mixer for my birthday when my OLD one (after 20yrs) decided to bite the dust. I have to say…it was the BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!! I love it and wouldn’t use anything else but KITCHENAID.

Working out great, had borrowed another kitchenaid before had the lighter motor... it just seemed over worked , getting got hot with bread dough ect.. but this one is doing much better
extra bowl, and the bowl cover with the spout to easily add ingredients is a plus as well.

We’ve been using this stand mixer for a while now, and we’re very happy with it.
My husband does a lot of baking and dough-making at home—bread, steamed buns, pizza dough, and various desserts—so having a reliable mixer is really important for our family. This machine has been a great fit for our needs.

It handles dough very well, feels powerful and stable, and performs consistently even with longer mixing times. It’s easy to use, not overly noisy, and simple to clean. The dough comes out smooth and well-developed, which saves us a lot of time and effort.
For families who bake often or make homemade dough regularly, this mixer is extremely helpful and well worth it. We’re really glad we have it.

Love the features, attachments and the great color

Bought this because my Hobart Kitchen Aid was a bowl lift and not the arm lift, as I thought it would make my holiday cookie baking much easier which it did! Am still keeping my vintage Hobart for sentimental reasons but will be using my new one from now on!

A few things I would change
on January 10, 2026
Posted by: guzzy76
There are a couple of things I do not like. One is that it needs a handle on top to lift the mixer. I don't have counter space to leave it there, so I have to lift it in and out of the bottom cupboard. Also, I feel that the mixing speeds should be in a place more neutral. I used my old mixer the other way so this new mixer is awkward to me. Love the color and hope to get use to it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
