Customer Reviews for KitchenAid - Refurbished Excellent - 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, RKSM55 - Mineral Water Blue
Posted by: Kenzie
Verified Purchase:Yes
A little more used/worn than I expected. The lift handle seems really stiff, and doesn't come up smoothly, almost in a grinding kind of way. The bowl shows some more visible wear and use than I would have wanted and unrelated, the paint job in a spot is kind of sloppy and unfinished. I understand the risks with buying refurbished, but I suppose I expected better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The color is so beautiful. I was actually really shocked how heavy it was. I can’t wait to get all the attachments for it.

It's a beautiful thing!!
This is the first time I ever purchased a refurbished item from any manufacturer. No dings, scratches, stains, or any other evidence that it was returned and refurbished. No strange noises or vibrations. Everything operated as it should. The price I paid for the mixer was a price I could not pass up. Would I do it again?! You bet I would!

Terrific mixer so far after using it once. Did great kneading my dough for yeast rolls. Didn’t jump around on the counter like my last one, didn’t overheat or get warm kneading dough and definitely not noisy.
I would recommend this to a friend!
