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.

Negative stars! Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing because the same thing happened to me. First one we bought died after one revolution. We returned it for an exchange second one did the exact same thing. This is not a cheap or easy item to lug back-and-forth to the store. Sam should not be selling this particular item given how many people have commented that their mixer died on arrival. It makes me lose trust in Sam's and the quality of their merchandise. Buyer beware!

This is the real thing. Whoever runs the kitchen workshop needs real professional level tools. In our case it is my wife. She has owned prize-winning restaurants, but never wanted to spend the money for the same quality tools she had in her restaurant kitchens. Christmas was the breakthrough moment. While baking something she just couldn’t any longer mix the heavy batter by hand. At last we finally out a kitchen aid mixer at home. The down side is now my wife wants me to get down to the shop and make a proper work table for it. It’s now part of our family. Fair warning

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.

This is a wonderful machine. My first KitchenAid mixer has lasted for over 40 years. Unfortunately We didn’t bring it with us…. So we purchased this one after realizing that a hand mixer couldn’t do the job this KitchenAid could. Nice, smooth, strong motor makes a batch of 90 cookies with ease. I am concerned the lifting mechanism seems loose yet so far it has given me no reason to complain. I’m also glad to have the extra whisk, bread dough hook, etc. Sams Club definitely had the best price around! Merry Christmas to me.

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.

I love KitchenAid products! They appliances last and last. This mixer is made with real metal and not plastic. I had a small cake business for 35 years and started out with a cheaper mixer. It didn’t last anytime at all. So I bought KitchenAid and there is a huge difference. It’s the only thing I will buy now.

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.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my nephew. He loved it and sent me a picture of his first food creation, a calzone, using the dough hook and as many accessories as possible. The calzone looked delicious. He told me that this KitchenAid Mixer was going to be his most used kitchen appliance and he plans to experiment with many different dishes.

I love the way this looks in my kitchen, it’s very classy and the color is beautiful ( I got the silver/gray ) Purchase the extra insurance 3 year warranty. It’s more powerful than my old kitchen aid mixer bought over 15 years ago. Will definitely enjoy a lot of baking this year for Christmas. Sam’s club had the best price especially when I got it on sale. Thanks Sam’s ♥️
