It works really well. We do, however get some black residue on our hands when using it and we're not sure where that's coming from. Our mixer is painted black'

Used it for about five minutes and then just quit. Went through the troubleshooting procedures and the motor never worked again ended up returning it.

I purchased the KitchenAid mixer for my grandson who is in culinary school. Mine is over 40 years old and I would not consider another brand. I do not know how much he has used it but we initiated it by preparing an upside down cake.

Had my old one for many years. This larger version is great for any recipe that is large. Made a few items so far and really like it. No flour storm and whips great for frosi\ting in smaller bowl. Haven't tried bread yet. Keep it on my counter - too heavy to lift from cabinet but it is used often so it is a non issue for me.

This is not the reliable stand mixer that earned the reputation of being the best. I bought one to replace the mixer that worked like a mule for the last 13 years because it was getting a bit tired. I brought it home, set it up, tested it, and all seemed well. I put my butter and sugar in it to cream for cookie dough, turned it on, it spun twice and the motor burned out...dead. Did some research and found out that Kitchenaid discontinued the 1.3 horse powerful mechanics in 2024 and replaced it with a weak 500 watt AC motor with plastic parts. Im returning the new one and sending my old one in for refurbishment. You can only get the good model refurbished. Im buying a spare refurbished unit because I use this tool every single day. So disappointed with Kitchenaid. I feel completely betrayed.

!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!

I have been wanting the larger mixer for years. I currently have the traditional Kitchenaid that I have been using for 5 plus years. It's been running like a champ but I need the larger bowl size. My husband picked this one up for me and I was so excited to use it. Went to make a simple sugar cookie recipe and it cut off after about 5 minutes. I tried everything I could to get it to come back on to no avail. Went to Sam's and exchanged it for another one. The lady at the counter told me this was the 7th or 8th one that week that was returned. I decided to grab another one anyway and give it a try. The exact same thing happened again with the new one. Now I have a pretty large and heavy paper weight on my counter while I lug the thing back to Sam's and just get my money back or call Kitchenaid to see what they are going to do. I'm so sad and disappointed.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love the mixer, would recommend it to anyone but the 3 quart bowl and mini whisk were a fail as they rubbed really bad no matter how the hight adjustment was set, can't use them. Different attachment would be better or I just got a bad mini whisk or something.

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.

Kitchen aid mixer is garbage. Purchased for my wifes Christmas present and let her use it early because I was nervous about the other reviews talking about it dying on first use. Guess what, it died making cookies on the first use. "WAS NOT OUR OUTLET". My outlet is GFCI protected and did not trip. Tested other products on outlet after Kitchen aid mixer died, other devices worked fine. This is horrible quality and should not be tolerated from this company. Stop giving them money.
