[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first standing mixer and I cannot believe what I have been missing all these years. No more hand cramps from mixing cookie dough OR greasy hands from mixing meatloaf. I use my standing mixer 2-3 times a week.
I got this for making sourdough breads. I had some vibration from the beginning, but it was even worse this morning with cinnamon roll dough. It kept walking across my counter. The vibration was so bad, it must have loosened the screw at the front and the round plate fell into my dough.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Kitchen Aid stand mixer! It was worth every penny, and I wish I had bought it sooner. (I've been baking for 30 years) I make pie dough, meringue, sugar cookies, cakes, and cupcakes with mine. The flex edge beater is super for scraping the edges to mix it all. I love the pastry beater for mixing my shortening and flour for pie dough. Making a pie is so simple and fast now. The meringue on my cream pies is beautiful! The wire whip and high mixer speed make the prettiest and tallest meringues I've ever made. The only concern I have is when I make sugar cookies, the mixer sounds like it's bogging down a bit when I put in the final cup of flour. The beater doesn't slow down, and it gets it all mixed, the sound just concerns me. I don't want to over do it and break it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using and will continue to use a 575 Watt Kenwood mixer (5 quart same as my new Kitchen Aid). The difference in power is very noticeable and I am making 1 loaf worth of dough at a time (500-600 g flour) ... this "plain" bread: water/flour/salt/starter, i.e. no butter or eggs. If I had it to do over, I would stick to the Kenwood or buy a more powerful Kitchen Aid.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this because we process smaller amounts of food after we butcher the pigs and so I bought the meat grinder attachment also, and it’s awesome! The only thing I have noticed is that when I’m baking or mixing ground beef, there is some untouched areas at the bottom of the bowl that didn’t mix. But other than that I love it; also think the matte black studded bowl will look better than stainless when it comes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this and thought I'd love it - I still might, but there are a few things I am already put off by. It's a brand new machine and I had to adjust the head lock mechanism right out of the box. The lock now works when the head is down but still not when it is up (and it scratched the finish down to the metal, so the finish doesn't last at all either). One attachment came with a few places that look slightly damaged on the finish. And the body of the machine has a few places where the finish is chipped, right out of the box. On top of it all I guess the warranty is only able to be processed over the phone, and I work most of the time they are open for business and the rest of the time I'm working with my toddler. So what time do I have to call and sit on the phone? None. It's very frustrating to pay so much for a machine and have so many aesthetic and design issues right out of the box, plus great unresponsiveness on the part of the company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great power, great looks, great outcomes. My last mixer, the Ultra Power, lasted over 25 years...and it was still going strong. In fact, strong enough to sell online, which I chose to do instead of changing out the brushes. (That's another plus about KitchenAid -- they're USA built and easy to work on and built like a tank.) Anyway, it was nice to upgrade to the Artisan with its increased power, and the Premium Accessory Pack has everything we need for our baking prep.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t be more satisfied with my stand mixer, the scrapper paddle is a fantastic paddle feature!
