[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves it and is using it to enhance her baking and cooking skills. She said making Pavlova was so much easier with controlled whip of the merengue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 4th KitchenAid mixer in the last 40 years. The other 3 still work but have been moved to alternate locations. I really like this mixer. The black matte finish is really pretty and very easy to clean. The mixer is powerful and all my attachments from my previous mixers work with the new one. I am VERY disappointed that KitchenAid decided to cheapen the mixers by removing the spring tension on the attachment shaft. Fortunately, there are aftermarket producers of those, so I was able to put one on the mixer. I also think it's ridiculous that KitchenAid decided to use some cheap metal on the top of the whisk, so you can't wash it in the dishwasher. I didn't see the slip in the box that said to hand wash it until I had already run it through the dishwasher. Now it has black crap that rubs off on everything. I threw it in the drawer and am using one of the older ones. They have also removed the ports on the side of the body that allowed access to the motor brushes. With the others I've only once ever replaced brushes, but it was very easy. From what I'm reading online, you can't change the brushes now. If they wear out you just have to replace the entire motor unit. It's obvious that even though the KitchenAid stand mixer is still the best one on the market, they are gradually cheaping it and cutting corners. That's a shame.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it for the wife for Xmas and it’s been a game changer. We use it for a lot of stuff and we’re glad we got it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this a month ago and it was on sale for Christmas time. Best purchase. I feel like you get so many attachments and the matte texture feels amazing. The bowls are so shiny and perfect and it’s a great addition to your kitchen. I use it almost every week and feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth. I love baking!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this for myself last month. I have used it several times since then but haven't given it a real work out as of yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When in use, the top portion of the mixer vibrates as if it is loose from the bottom half. It does not mix smoothly at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
