The bowl lift has a poor design, whereas all the weight is all put on a small little metal c clip which easily breaks. Repairing it when it breaks is difficult, and getting the bowl back to the correct level is a real pain. Save yourself the struggle don't buy this model.

Wow!!! Been a KitchenAid mixer owner for 25 years and it’s still going. This new Mixer is such a blessing as I can no longer lift or scoot anything heavy. Will pass my older mixer down to my granddaughter. Highly recommend this new mixer and the price, fantastic!!!!!!

My fiancé bought me this for Christmas. I literally made cookies with it and then the next time I wanted to start the next batch it wouldn't turn on so we returned. It got another one. I tested it on speed one before I put anything in the bowl and it worked. I turned it off put everything in the bowl and try turning it back on to speed one again and it wouldn't work so I am very unhappy with KitchenAid. This was my first experience with KitchenAid. I've never had one before and now I did and I literally do not like it because their stuff does not work. If it's cheap, it will not work if it's expensive, you have a 50-50 chance of it working I will find a different brand of mixer to purchase. I will not purchase KitchenAid again I do love the fact that if you buy it at Sam's Club, you can return it and get your money back or to get another item but I will not get another KitchenAid ever again.

I was really excited to us this mixer and felt extremely disappointed when, right out of the box it did not work. Pluged it in flipped the switch and nothing happened. Figured it might be a bad outlet moved mixer used a different outlet and again nothing happened. I didnt want to get discouraged and wanted to give kitchenaid the benefit of the doubt. I returned to sams club and exchanged the mix for another one. The joy could be felt in the room when this second mixer roared to life yet the joy was quickly filled with a sense of dread as the mixer started to overheat I know some of you may be thinking that this could be operator error but when using the dough hook at level one setting for less than 4 minutes. There's no reason for This mixer to overheat. I looked up how to reset the mixer after I followed the reset directions, the mixer roared back to life and i was able to return to baking. unfortunately the second time I attempted to use the mixer The mixer would not work. It would roar to life. But it would not spin the dough hook now I must return two sam's club for a second time.

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.

Fabulous…totally one of the best purchases

Great kitchen aid in home. Kids love noodles it made.

It didn't turn on after 2 days later

Excellent buy! Fun to use pasta attachments.

KitchenAid 5.5 Mixer died after one use. Followed all trouble shooting tips to no avail.
