Not as great as the hype

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking at Kitchenaids for a long time and was so excited when I finally bought one. After using it the first time my excitement turned to disappointment. The product controls are clunky, it’s very heavy, even with the guard on ingredients spill out everywhere and there’s no timer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pebbled Palm color is so classy and looks great in my white/ grey kitchen. But most of all baking is now half the time, especially for baking bread, pizza dough and buns. I’m also loving the attachments. Can’t wait to get my next batch of icecream in!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my KitchenAid a few months ago but waited until my daughters first birthday to make her cake as I wanted the first time to be for a special occasion. The cake turned out so lovely, as did the icing. I’m so happy with my KitchenAid and look forward to making many more memorable things with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always wanted to expand my kitchenaid range. I like the look of it and they do perform good. Warranty is a plus on these machines. I just have to get use to the feel of it as I had my Breville mixer for 10 years and so sometimes I get confused with the lifting part of it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my Kitchen Aid for about a month now. Have made everything from bread to biscuits, and it's fantastic! Very sturdy, easily handles kneeding the doughs, (unlike previous machines I've had). Have found all the accessories provided to be of excellent quality, and purpose appropriate for there uses. I'm a very happy customer. Will be buying one for my daughter for Xmas. Definitely worth the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my first use wasn’t great. none of the attachments would fit onto the unit properly because there’s a pin that wasn’t pushed in properly. once i got it so one side was flush and the other poked out to hold the attachment in place they (mostly) fit on with no dramas. some were still weirdly tight. also had a weird issue with the motor struggling to mix cake batter and it actually even stopped working but i turned it off and restarted it and haven’t had the issue come back since. not a great first use and i was worried that id have to return it (still am tbh) but hopefully it was just some weird one-off issue.
i don’t find the shield all that helpful, flour still goes shooting out the back unless you put the mixer on the lowest setting when adding flour, in which case you don’t need the shield anyways.
the pebbled palm is beautiful though and having the mixer has inspired me to do more baking! the capacity is perfect for what i use it for and having the two sized bowls is great. i’ve made focaccia, cake with meringue buttercream, cinnamon buns, and some dressings. looking forward to getting some of the other attachments like the pasta rollers!
