I received my 7qt mixer from my hubby for Christmas 2025 and I LOVE IT!! I have had my Artisan for the last 20 years and has been used at least twice a week for all of those years, but it was time for a larger motor and being able to do larger batches for monster bars, bread, Kringla, and making butter. The stir - 1/2 speed has been a game changer! My pasta and grinder attachments still fit like a glove as well!
This one has a hard time making standard bread dough. Binds up and almost dies.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this mixer. I have several KA bowl lift mixer and this one is just as amazing if not more! The color, feathered pink is gorgeous and the mixer seems quieter, more sturdier, and makes the best buttercream frosting, cookie dough and cinnamon rolls!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought this model for me for Valentine’s Day this year. It is replacing the smaller model that still works perfectly after 20 plus years. He thought I deserved an upgrade and I couldn’t be more pleased! He also bought the attachments and I’m excited to finally use that feature.
