This is my first stand mixer purchase. I wasnt quite sur eif i wanted to soend the money on one given that i dont bake much. I went ahead and purchased the mixer. I have actually started baking more, its such a time saver. Comes with 2 bowls and 4 attachments. I do not regret this purchase. The only con so far is that its not very easy to pour ingredients in i had to purchase a seperare puring shirld so i can add in whatever i need. Other than i am very happy with this mixer.

Doesn't work as well as the 4.5 mixer with a tilting head. The larger bowl is nice BUT the overall features make it hard to mix and add ingredients. Not impressed at all. It's loud and clinks when mixing. There isn't a spring by the attachment to let it have a little give like the other mixers have. You have to take the mixing paddle off when you remove the bowl - makes a bigger mess. Overall not pleased and won't recommend this one to others.

My father and sister put together to purchase this for me. I’m a Savory and pastry Chef. I trained on Kitchenaid when I was in school. One of the best mixer ever made. Tilting head mixers don’t have the life span of these. The delivery was great. The delivery lady made sure it was the right address and person before bringing it out of the vehicle. Very nice and professional. I didn’t order it, so I can’t say how the ordering portion was. But, it arrived early and tracking was a breeze. I’m a Walmart+ member, so I love Walmart and Sam’s service.

It worked for two recipes. I am returning. It just stopped in the middle of the second recipe I was making. So disappointing. I will be returning to club tomorrow. Too much money and it's a necessary piece of equipment in my kitchen. I have one in another location that we have had for over 8 years. I love it. This was unexpected. I am also not really a fan of the bowl lift. I prefer my tilt......

Worth the buy! Is a beautiful blue, like a dark robin egg color. It is about Has a larger bowl than the standard, and comes with 2 (!!), a larger and smaller bowl. Much better attachments, and this cool spoon to get EVERYTHING off the whisk. More speeds, more power, better safety feature (in my opinion). All around worth the buy! Add the fact that it is basically the same price as the standard KitchenAid makes this an amazing deal!

I wanted this version of KitchenAid mixer because the more basic version was difficult to stir mixture and get to the bottom of the bowl without my hands ending up coated with batter. So I thought the lift feature of this mixer would solve that problem. Now I have a different challenge. If I put my ingredients in the mixer bowl, then place it in the stand, there’s no room for the paddle. If I attach the paddle after the bowl is in place, again I have to shove it into my ingredients. I thought the shallow bowl and the lift feature would make mixing a dream but instead it’s a struggle. Why is this the mixer of choice for cooking programs?

We had to return it. This thing is a beast. My wife could not make the bowl snap into place or get it to come back out again. It was also too tall. This model must be a commercial version. We bought a lighter-duty model at another store. If you have the space and the muscles, this mixer is for you.

The kitchen aid mixer is still nice, however, the quality seems to have gone south. I actually have 3 other kitchen aid mixers and all are of excellent quality, even my very first one I ever bought 50 years ago. Not sure what happened or what is going on, but please keep your reputation as being the best mixer and quality construction. The mixer bowl handle is not rounded out like the others I have, which is a bit on the sharp side when holding it in the palm of hand. The mixer itself(silver) is nothing like the silver 5 qt I bought a few years back, it almost feels like plastic. Hopefully, kitchen aid mixers are still made in the US. I have become a bit suspect because of the lack of quality. It will serve the purpose, but am disappointed with quality of how it is built. the additional small bowl and whip etc. is nice, price was fair.

This is a great mixer. I had the tilt head before but this better and instead of tilting the head you just lower the bowl. Also one review stated that the beater hit the bowl well if you read your instructions it tells you to run the mixer with the beater to see if there is enough room and if you need to adjust there is a screw on the neck to adjust the beater. The bonus was the extra bowl you can use it for cake mixes etc.

When testing the mixer a shrapnel/fragment fell from the planetary. If it fell in batter, it could have been life threatening because it was quite sharp. The fragment was coated with the same color as my mixer on one side. The other side was a shiny aluminum that easily broke when bent. Since then nothing else fell so I made some peanut butter cookies. Also, I can’t use the 3 quart bowl and combi-whip because the whip hits the bowl and the bowl doesn’t always latch on the back. I hope this mixer last awhile.
