[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Stand Mixer has been a staple in my kitchen for several years, with the current classic red iteration still going strong after 7 years of heavy use. My whole family loves cooking and baking, and my husband is especially passionate about his culinary creations. We have all sorts of mixers and blenders but the trusty KitchenAid is always pulled out for the big work. The only issues I personally had with it was the weight and bulk, both of which made it all the more cumbersome to tilt lift the head to remove the bowl or add ingredients. So a couple days ago, my new matte blue beauty arrived in the mail and we were truly blown away. Aesthetically, let’s just say the Stand Mixer has made it to full time countertop space. The beautiful, matte powder blue body is classic and modern, and I swear it’s maybe a third of the weight of our old one. It’s streamlined and easy to move around. The fresh, sleek new look carries through to the stainless steel components as does the obviously increased performance and quality. Included with the mixer are another half sized mixing bowl and multiple attachments, along with a super cool spatula with a special groove for getting all the delicious stuff stuck on the whisks. The crowning achievement is absolutely the new Bowl-Lift technology that solves all of my problems and even allows my 4 and 6 year old budding chefs to join in safely and easily. With the 2 side by side, the differences are plain to see. The professional level output has twice the power so my amazing cook of a husband can go to town on everything from fresh masa dough to thick salsas to handmade pasta and everything in between. I am so excited for the kitchen memories my family and I will create together with the help of our new KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Buying this has made me want to be in the kitchen more. I am in no way a professional, but using this makes me feel like one. It makes trying new recipes fun. I make homemade yeast rolls, but the arthritis in my hands makes it difficult to knead the dough. The dough hook has been a game changer for me. I am so glad I made this purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They say that things are not made the way they used to but KitchenAid stand mixers really go against that. This is my wife's favorite tool in the kitchen. I really can do so many things and there are many attachments you can purchase. Incredible tool for baking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer for quite some time and was very pleased to get this. All of the extra features are wonderful and it works great! It lived up to all of my expectations. It has a quiet volume as well and isn't too disturbing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a gift, and I do not like it at all. This mixer so heavy it is a struggle to get it out of the pantry and onto the counter. When you add anything, you have to stop to scrape the sides of the bowl, stop to add ingredients, and to take the beater out you have to drop the bowl down, push the beater back in your mix, then pull it out. I am soooo sad this is a present & I can not take it back :-(

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a replacement of my old Kitchenaid Mixer I’ve had since the 70’s gave it to my daughter and she is still using it. This new mixer is just great and what I expected from Kitchenaid. Took a little getting use to the lift bowl type and still not sure I like it as well as the tilt head but it does a great job mixing with very little effort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heavy & durable. This model works great. However if you were use to a mixer that has a turn table, this does not turn. The beater tools do a good job of gathering your ingredients together. You will have to stop. & start to use spatula to scrape sides of bowl. I say the kitchenaid products are overrated in price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like it, wish it was A Shiny Black instead of dull Black, I've had a tilt head for years, bowl lift version is a little head to get used to. Bought a 7 qt bowl for it. It fits great, can't quite figure out which beaters to get for the Larger bowl that this mixer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is nothing quite like a kitchen aid. I am convinced this is the best stand mixer in the market. This appliance makes me feel like I am a professional at baking and cooking. Mixing, whisking, or making dough-- this mixer does everything

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited with this new mixer. It's good quality it's sturdy, very heavy. I like the extra parts it includes. I love the color. It's easy to use and works wonders and it makes cooking so much easier. Speeds are beyond expected and helps me make amazing food. Love it!
