[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a gift. I am 70 years old, and this is the first stand mixer I have ever owned. I love the mixer, and it looks great on my counter! I haven’t used all the accessories yet, but am excited to try them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it for my wife for Christmas. She sold it the very next day but it looked nice on the counter while it was there. Sorry, can't review it's performance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this mixer by my husband of 41 years who knows how much I love to bake, but have always used a hand mixer. I love the set of beaters that came with the powerful mixer. And so far I’m loving learning how to use it-
I had a kitchen aid stand mixer from the early 90’s that I gave to a friend who was in desperate need. I ordered my new mixer and as pleased as I am with the look and the function, I’m incredibly disappointed with the whisk attachment provided now. It’s cheap, flimsy metal. I had to order the heavy duty one separately and it wasn’t inexpensive. C’mon, Kitchen Aid, you can do better than this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine inspires me to try new things. It’s like having a helping hand that I don’t have to babysit in the same way as a hand mixer. It’s powerful and the black matte finish will look good in any kitchen I end up in.
