[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago, I needed a new one and chose this model because of the bowl lift. My old one is the tilt one . Since I retired I have been baking a lot and love my new one!! Definitely get one you won’t be disappointed..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my machine weekly. I’ve made cookies, brownies, breads, muffins, bagels, and more. My only two gripes are that the pink wasn’t more widely available, AND this is advertised as able to handle bread but it actually doesn’t really do it well. The whole thing starts moving around heavily and if you join Reddit groups they all say the same and also they will mention that bread doughs will burn out the motor. I only use my machine for bread doughs for a couple min and finish with my hands, just so I don’t ruin my machine. Other than those two, I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way this mixer worked for making cake batter, the whisk attachment made it so easy to get the eggs fluffy. It comes with several different attachments and two different sized bowls as well. I also love the spatula meant to clean the whisk/paddle attachments. The only negatives are that the mixer is quite heavy to move around the counter and it tall enough it won't fit in any of my cupboards. But overall really liked it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I find it very difficult to add ingredients in when the bowl is on the stand. Its to hard too constantly take it off and on when i need to add ingredients. Also I miss having the handle like I had on my old kitchen aid mixer. It does the job, but miss my old kitchen aid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything I ever wanted in a stand mixer and more. It's so easy to use, quiet, and beautiful! Now that I own a KitchenAid, I won't go back to cheaper models. I can make cookies now without overpowering the mixer, forcing me to mix by hand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a replacement for the original that had a shrapnel that fell from the planetary but there’s something wrong with the arm lift on this replacement. It locks half way down so I have to put more pressure to lower it completely. Doing this repeatedly puts pressure on the plastic mechanism in it and eventually it break prematurely. The 3 quart bowl has small dents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG! This mixer is a completely next level appliance on my kitchen! First of all, the first thing that caught my eyes is how well it’s made. It makes me feel like it’s a professional grade sort of mixer. Such a high quality, I would say the highest. It is super sturdy, a little bit heavy, but absolutely worth it. All the appliances included are well made as well, even the spatula looks like high end product for me. The set has 3 different mixers and two bowls of different sizes, but both huge, enough to make a huge cake or a bunch of cookies, even perfectly mashed potatoes! Second of all, for a short period of time it has become my time and life saver. I just put the ingredients I need and they turn into the best dough in minutes. So far, me and my little son used it to make dough for strawberry cake and chocolate cream cookies and both times the results are astonishing, he loves using it, it’s so much fun! Third of all, I was worried if it can get messy, but it’s easy to wash everything off. I just soak with water and everything comes off, after that I wash it with soap and it looks shiny again. I love how it’s basically non stick and doesn’t take much time to take care of it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer! It's an excellent machine, a true workhorse in the kitchen. The 3-point locking bowl is a must for me. It holds the bowl in place while I'm mixing heavy ingredients, leaving my hands freer to quickly incorporate additional ingredients and, allowing everything to stay closer to the best temperatures. The 5.5 Quart Bowl is large enough to handle several batches of dough at once, and big enough to whip enough potatoes for my large holiday gatherings. My only want is for a handle on the mixing bowl. The included flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip had me all ready to tackle every dessert I've ever wanted to make. I also find the included 3-qt stainless steel bowl, mini whip, and spatula very useful. I highly recommend this KitchenAid stand mixer, it's beauty, and functionality are outstanding.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mixer is beyond anything I have had to use in my kitchen. It helped me get my mashed potatoes done in a more timely manner by not having to hand mash my potatoes. Everyone said the potatoes were my best ones ever!
