[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this set to try. I have been a fan of KitchenAid mixers for some time and still am. I have inherited my mother's, mother-in-law's and with my own smaller model, this makes for my fourth unit. It is extremely durable and versatile. This unit is the Pro model, so it is larger with larger capacity bowl. It also came with a small bowl and its own small whisk for making small batches of frosting. The large capacity stainless steel bowl is just right for the larger batches of bread dough that I make. Attachements include dough hook, whisk, paddle and spatula. Can't have too many spatulas. The unit is lighter than my older, smaller model so it makes it easier to move around the kitchen and put away in a cupboard. The hub allows for several attachement add-on's and the pasta maker I already have will fit. These models come in a variety of colors, mine was a lighter blue. I am sure anyone can find a color to fit their decor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was very designed and made. Feels like a premium product. This is is helpful for regular dough mixing and who love to bake and cook at home. The additional spatula and other accessories make job more easy. Id definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this mixer. The only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars is because it is a bit awkward to get the bowl and attachments on and off since the head of the mixer doesn’t lift. Other than that it’s perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new matte black KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer is efficient and sleek! It makes it quick and easy to prep our pizza dough, cookie dough, etc.! Family cooking time just got better thanks to power, features, and attachments.Looking forward to purchasing the ice attachment next.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have for years wanted a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer and finally received this one. I’m so in love with this mixer already. This particular unit came with four beaters (Flat Beater, Spiral Dough Hook, Wire Whip and the 11-wire Stainless Steel Eliptical Beater), two stainless steel bowls (one large bowl with handle and one mid size bowl). Additionally, this unit came with a spatula with a slit in the end which makes cleaning the beaters easier. The beaters are easy to attach. Simply align the opening on the beater with the pin on the side of the beater bar, then rotate to secure. The bowls snap on and off easily by simply aligning the holes on each side of the bowl with the stainless pins and gently pressing down. You can feel when the bowls are properly snapped into place. Then, simply rotate the bar on the side of the unit to lower the beater into the bowl. (Please note the beaters will appear to be off-sided, but once the unit is placed in motion, the beaters will rotate all around the bowl.). The speed is easily controlled while the unit is running. Simply slide the knob on the left side of the unit to your desired speed. One feature that I noticed immediately is this unit is all stainless. It does not have any visible rubber seals or gaskets. I like this as you do not have to be concerned with the seals/gaskets becoming damaged or brittle from numerous washings. Kitchen Aid does recommend hand washing, though. Numerous other attachments are available for purchase if you are into making your own pasta, etc.). This unit is very heavy and the weight should be considered before giving to an older person. I absolutely love this mixer and can’t wait to use it more. I will definitely recommend to family and friends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is good, but it’s a one off special just for this one promotion. So now I have to be wary when buying accessories. It mostly dies what I bought it for, bread making.Seems a bit under powered though, frequently struggles while developing gluten. I do like the smaller bowl and whip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this mixer. This is my 3rd Kitchen Aid . My previous ones were tilt head. This machine is so much more effecient and powerful. I recently started making my own bread and it's so much easier with this mixer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted one of these mixers for so long! I am completely in LOVE with it and can't wait to try other attachments! I was not a huge baker before. Now, due to the ease of use, I am thoroughly enjoying it! So is my family! Everyone NEEDS to have one of these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unpacking the KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer box and wow is it loaded with extra goodies. It comes with plenty of attachments to be able to make anything you can imagine. I found the lift feature to be pretty simple and helps with heavier batches. I make lots of cookies around the house but I also love to use my Kitchenaid mixer to shred chicken breast. It makes shredding a breeze and is super fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works just as I expected. Love the color! Barely had it out of the box and on my counter and was already ordering accessories for it. Had an issue with the whisk attachment but customer service got me a replacement very quickly. Very happy with my mixer.
