I bought a KitchenAid Professional HD Stand Mixer from Sam's several years ago. I love it and use it often for bread, sausage, and many other recipes. Here is how strong and well-built it is: I was making bread one day and the dough was on the tough side. I was not paying attention to the mixer, and it was bouncing on the counter. It jumped off the count onto the floor. The only damage was to the little accessory door for attachments. The machine still works without any worries. It jumped because of how strong the motor is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to return my 1st one because the beater was leaving dark scratches Inside the bowl, and from the paddle it was chipping so I definatly didn't want to chance eating that. so I returned the 1st one and got another one, with this one it doesn't seem to reach the bottom of the bowl with like cake mixes etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this stand mixer. Firstly, the color is absolutely beautiful, it goes well with the common colors of my appliances while being the pop of color. The bowl-lift stand mixer is very powerful, it gets the whipping or mixing, kneading done very quickly. I really like the smaller bowl and whisking attachment it’s the perfect size for smaller batches. It’s very handy and it’s great for single person dishes that require mixing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the KitchenAid Bowl-Lift 5.5 qt for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been awesome. Handles heavy dough so much better than my old tilt-head mixer—no wobbling or struggling. I’ve really been putting it through its paces and it hasn’t missed a beat. The bowl-lift design feels super sturdy, and I like that I can make bigger batches without worrying about overloading it. If you bake a lot or deal with thick doughs, this thing is a beast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had a mixer like this. It's so simple to use and takes the strain off my already achy body. I've used this to help mix my cake batters and frostings with ease. It blends evenly, better than any I've had. The whip attachment makes the fluffiest toppings and cookies I've done in a long time. It is simple to clean and it looks great even if I leave it out- it is very stylish for cookware!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best mixer I've ever used. This is much more powerful and can do so much more than my previous one. Also, it comes with so many accessories that makes baking so much easier and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this mixer so much. First, the color, it’s perfect, it’s a dream color of blue. This feels like a legit industrial mixer (we bake a lot). We’re pretty loyal to kitcheaid and this mixer didn’t disappoint.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really loving my new KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. This thing is awesome!! Easy to use and cleanup. I would definitely recommend this mixer to anyone that cooks allot like I do. You can't go wrong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last month my husband bought me a replacement Kitchen Aid. My first Kitchen Aid worked hard for several decades. I use my Aid to: make bread, cakes, candies and frostings. I also use my Kitchen Aid to prep vegetables for canning and to grind meats for sausage. I can survive happily without a lot of things,but not my Kitchen Aid and attachments!🎉

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it on black Friday , I make lot of bakings it’s helpful and shorten the time of work. I have problem when doing bread and like 2 or even 3 cups of flour the big bowl is very big and the beater doesn’t touch the bottom, and for the small bowl that comes with it, it doesn’t have beater. It drives me crazy for this reason
