This is my first KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I wanted white, but they did not have that option in this model. I got the stainless steel color instead. I like it a lot. The mixer is very easy to use and it looks very pretty on the countertop. There is nothing to complain about as it does the job and is attractive. It saved me time and elbow grease when baking during the holidays. I highly recommend this stand mixer. I did a lot of research prior to my purchase and I got bogged down in the details of all of the different brands and models and reviews. Don’t waste time creating spreadsheets of data and comparisons. Just get this one. The price is right and it is a life saver. You will not regret it. I highly recommend it.

First one I got does not work out of the box and was used. It was delivered from club. Returned and got a new one, worked for 30 sec. Not even mixing the ingredients. Just got a refund. So much hassle just to get a lemon. Hopefully kitchenaid can sort their quality control.

The workers over the chiristmas holiday took the time to help me with this mixer because i wanted a black color one. They needed to get the forklift in a bush store because no black color ones were on the floor. After getting their help with getting the perfect gift they have earned my business for good.

I am not crazy about the lift arms. The bigger bowl doesnt fit on it until its lifted up but you have to lower it to put the attachments on and off. I like my previous mixer better where the top or head part goes back and the bowls secure to the bottom.

Excellent mixer. Since I purchased online I was not aware it was a lift mixer until I opened the box. I decided to keep it anyway despite never having used on before. Turns out I love it. The additional power and stability is a real bonus. It’s a beast.

Love the color, works great, like my last one. I bought in this color and gave my red one to my daughter which was about 5 y/o. I got in the metallic matte finish blue, and it blends well with my kitchen and I leave on the counter. the only thing I do not like is that the bowl is not as deep as my original. I buy a lot of accessories to go with my mixer & all good.

Love the Blue color ! Only negative is it heavy to lift for a "80" year old. My other KitchenAid mixer was 42 years old and hard a hard time mixing heavy ingredients. Today was my first try making my husband's favorite cookie. (Tart Cherry Oatmeal cookies). The power was way superior to my old mixer. Additionally they have a small bowl with a small whip to do whipped cream. Surprised at the long rubber spatula with a grove to help clean the batter off the whip.

Love my KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. It has great power to get the job done. So far, I have made a pound cake, a cheeseball, and mashed potatoes twice. (Christmas & New Years Eve) This mixer made the process so easy. It is also surprisingly quiet, runs smooth, has plenty of speed selections, and it is easy to clean. However, it is heavy, so plan to leave it out on your countertop, but it is so nice looking you really won't want to hide it in a cabinet. Also, the bowl can be a challenge to snap into place, but you get used to it real fast. I am so glad I chose this model and I am very happy I bought it from Sam's Club at a great price!

!I remember when I was in my teens the longing to own one of these workhorses of my own. Fast forward to my 20’s when I was finally in a position to purchase a Kitchen Aid for myself. Fast forward to my late 50’s. That same mixer has served me reliably thru 2 children and countless grandchildren. My oldest daughter asked if she could have my mixer so I decided she should have one of her own. I sent her the ice blue model and a cookie recipe to get her started. Here’s to many more years of generational baking to come. Tremendous value in a beautiful package!

Love this 5.5 quart lift Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Made a double batch of Chocolate Chip cookies and it mixed all the flour without having to worry about some left in the bottom of the bowl. I will have to get use to putting the bowl on the positioning pins and securing the bowl with the latch, but so far I love it. This mixer came with a smaller bowl and small wire whip which I really love for making whipped cream deserts. This is the 3rd Kitchen Aid stand mixer I have had but the first one with a lift. I love Kitchen Aid mixers.
