I have wanted a KitchenAid mixer for over 15 years. Finally treated myself last fall and I love it. It's so easy to use, quiet, sturdy and frankly, looks awesome sitting on my counter!
I just replaced my smaller Kitchenaid Mixer with this one and love the larger bowl, easy bowl lift function and the quiet, more powerful motor. Just having trouble adjusting the height of the bowl so the beater does not hit the bottom, not as easy as the manual makes it sound.
About a month ago I got my Kitchen Aid Mixer. Too bad it's been only a month! After burning or having trouble with three other brands, I have made more than 10 pizzas, 38 cakes and lots of frostings on my new equipment (without the fear of burning it because of it's 1HP motor). Cant wait to try every single attachment!
My KitchenAid Blender is very reliable and it is very easy to clean! And it looks great on my counter top matching with my stainless steel appliances, also from Kitchen Aid!
