I bought this to replace a Kitchen Aid stand mixer I had for 25 years that I loved. The new mixer is not good for bread making. At the recommended speed the dough never comes together on the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl as it should. Part of the problem is the shape of the bowl that is wider than the original so the hook never touches most of the dough. There is no user manual to explain when and how to use the smaller bowl, which will not work with the hook attachment. I am so disappointed - left with an old mixer I loved that no longer works and now a new one that doesn't even seem like a Kitchen Aid product. How far your brand has fallen.

I've had a KitchenAid mixer since 2003. My spouse bought this mixer as a Christmas gift. The first time I used it, the mixer stopped working after a few minutes and would not turn back on. I contacted KitchenAid and they helped me send the unit back and they sent me a new one. I got the second mixer out of the box and it never turned on. I returned the second mixer to Sams. The Customer Service rep at the store told me that "tons of these have been returned because they don't work." I'm puzzled and frustrated. Now having read reviews, it seems it is a known and large problem.

Perfect Just what I was looking for at a great price

I am not 100% sold on the lift arms, but the lower settings on the motor are amazing.

I bought this for myself for Christmas. Love it! So beautiful. An upgrade to the old one.

Received a used product and missing parts.

Not as good as the older version. Bowl too shallow and ingredients come out too easily

Need a 10 minute KNEAD, then you NEED this!

This is the best purchase I have ever made.

This is a great product with in its self , the price made it even better .
