Design Flaw! ONLY BOTTOM OF BOWL IS WARM!

There are 2 major problems with the KitchenAid chocolate tempering machine.
1) The tempered chocolate only stays warm at the bottom of the bowl, so if you want to dip shortbread cookies or anything else in the chocolate, the chocolate becomes too thick and cool at the top for the cookies to pass through. I wish the sides of the bowl also stayed warm. There is a very small heating element at the bottom of the unit. The top 2/3 of the KitchenAid bowl is cool to to the touch and, thus, the top 2/3 of the chocolate mixture remains cool too at a the recommended 88 degree temper holding setting.
2) The KitchenAid recipe for tempering chocolate calls for starting with 22 ounces of chocolate in the heating bowl. My chocolate never fully melted, even after 1 hour and continuous stirring there were lots of lumps. I had to take the semi-melted chocolate out of the KitchenAid machine and warm the chocolate to the desired temperature on the stove.
I really do not see the use for this machine. It is an expensive waste of time and and effort!
For the price, it should stay warm on all sides of the work bowl!
I would not recommend this product to anyone. After using it I was both tired and wanted to throw it against the wall!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought this to make products with beeswax and it works very well to gradually melt the wax and mix in the other ingredients. Easy to use and cleans easily. A good investment for a small home business working with wax.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was able to easily prepare my special recipe white chocolate. Reliable and fairly easy to operate if you read the directions

I saved the catalog I saw this in and bought it 6 months or so later and happy I did! Great concept to have a warming bowl that attaches to the mixer or will stand alone. It is good for fondue and excellent for keeping chocolate warm to drizzle on cookies or candy dipping. Kitchenaid is fabulous!
I would recommend this to a friend!
