[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Kitchen Aid Mixer as a bridal shower gift for my granddaughter who is getting married in June. I have had my faithful KA mixer for over 30 years. Her and I have made hundreds of things since the days she sat on my kitchen counter to help me bake. She will be beyond thrilled with this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] just simply made life easier in the kitchen. Shredder was very helpful have not used the grinder yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just started baking and made my first Cherry pie last week. The crust was my biggest fear of failure and it tuned out excellent. I could have never done it without the mixer. I would certainly recommend one for a beginner like me or an experienced person. It is so easy to use. An additional plus is that cleaning after use is a breeze. Nothing but happy feelings about this purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been wanting a stand mixer for years and was generously gifted a Kitchenaid. I've made cinnamon rolls from scratch, chocolate cupcakes, frosting, and muffins. This mixer makes the recipes so much easier than before. My 3 year old is able to use my Kitchenaid with me, and even helps clean it. I'm incredibly happy with this mixer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first stand mixer and I am in love. My last batch of 100+ cookies about burned out the motor of my handheld mixer, plus it was somewhat exhausting holding the handheld and fighting with so much stiff cookie dough. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy my stand mixer after I watched a family member and her 4-year old breezily make a batch of cookies with theirs. What a game changer. My KitchenAid was on my side the whole time and in fact took the lead in the fight. Not only did it manhandle the dough perfectly, but it continued to do so unsupervised while I stepped away to measure the next tranche of ingredients to add, all while my KitchenAid merrily mixed away. I'm so happy I made the investment in this stand mixer, which now makes big batch baking a pleasure. I do wish the whisk was dishwasher-safe, especially for the overall price of the mixer, but it was not difficult to hand wash (just a bit annoying). I otherwise love the premium accessory pack. I purchased the matte black mixer and splurged on a porcelain mixing bowl with cool modern black and white stripes that was on sale. This matched our home's modern style perfectly and now the mixer is a beautiful piece of art on our countertop. All in all, my only disappointment is that it took me so long to make this investment in my baking life!!
Had a similar model for 15+ years, and received this as a gift when the first one died. The motor sounds like it's straining when creaming butter & sugar, and flings ingredients out of the bowl even on low speed. I never needed to use the pouring shield, but this new mixer flings ingredients out of the back even if I have the shield on. The head of the mixer bounces no matter what I'm mixing - even though the beater height has been properly adjusted. I expected the same -- or better -- performance from this new model, not a decrease in quality and functionality. Really regretting not refurbishing the old one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
