[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Loft Stand Mixer is a wonderful addition to the baker’s kitchen. Mixing your baked goods and making frosting becomes so easy with this wonderful machine. The bowl locks into the stand to bring out a superior mixing capability. The bowl comes in and out rather easily. You do need to remove the mixing attachment to remove and replace the bowl. However, the attachment simply rotates and unlocks for easy removal and re-attachment. This mixer comes with 10 adjustable speed settings for your best mixing experience. There are also several additional attachments that can be added to expand upon pasta and meat preparation as well as bread making. This mixer is somewhat heavy therefore will require some help to move if there is any weight bearing restrictions. The bowl lift feature allows for help when baking large quantities. The blue velvet color is real attractive to add to your kitchen decor. This mixer came with an additional now, an additional whip attachment as well as a spatula designed to clean off your attachments so as not to waste and of the bakery products. Overall, this mixer is a great addition to your kitchen and will make you the hit of your neighborhood while whipping up those outstanding sweet treats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a surprising upgrade from my old tilt head mixer. Not only is she beautiful but she has so much power I didn't know I needed. My daughter and I spent all weekend trying new recipes. It handled everything we put in there. The bowls and attachments are easy to clean and made well. It was so easy to switch attachments and it's fully customizable with additional accessories. I'm in love with the new color and plan to leave out on my counter top.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've honestly started cooking more since getting this mixer because it's so versatile, easy to use, easy to clean--not to mention the color gives it that extra something. It's very sturdy and and doesn't vibrate or sound like a lawnmower.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I inherited my mom’s Kitchen Aid Mixer about 25 years ago. I’ve used it for baking a few times but most recently have been using the grinding attachment to make dog food from scratch. Just before Christmas, my mom’s mixer finally came to a halt. I’d consider that 30-35 year life span was amazing considering my mom baked a lot during her 5-10 years with it on top of my 25 years. Fortunately, this happened just before Christmas so Sam’s club was having a sale on them. I haven’t done any baking with it yet but my new Mixer works great for grinding up the ingredients needed for my dog’s food. I’m hopeful that this one will last another 30 years!

[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’ve had a Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer for 20 years and have loved it. I upgraded to this mixer a couple months ago and have not been disappointed. It stayed still on my counter (no flipping around) when kneading bread for 5-10 minutes. It’s consistently mixed well, with both the large and smaller bowls. I like that it slowly starts when turned on so that I don’t have to brace for flour or powdered sugar flying out the bowl at the start of mixing. Very satisfied and looking forward to many hours of future use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my mixer but I'm pretty upset that I've only used it a few times and the paint is already coming off the paddle it is the powder coated paint one I would have thought it would have lasted longer so much for quality

[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.] 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!
