This stand mixer is amazing. It does take a little learning curve to put the bowl back on but its just getting use to where to hold it to put it on. It has more than enough power for those heavy, thick doughs. Love that it comes with a smaller bowl and whisk for frosting and icing.

I bought this to replace a Kitchen Aid stand mixer I had for 25 years that I loved. The new mixer is not good for bread making. At the recommended speed the dough never comes together on the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl as it should. Part of the problem is the shape of the bowl that is wider than the original so the hook never touches most of the dough. There is no user manual to explain when and how to use the smaller bowl, which will not work with the hook attachment. I am so disappointed - left with an old mixer I loved that no longer works and now a new one that doesn't even seem like a Kitchen Aid product. How far your brand has fallen.

The mixer did not work had to call kitchen aid to get a new one

This mixer is easy to use and I like that it comes with a small bowl too

Received a used product and missing parts.

This is a great product with in its self , the price made it even better .

I am not 100% sold on the lift arms, but the lower settings on the motor are amazing.

Not as good as the older version. Bowl too shallow and ingredients come out too easily

I bought this for myself for Christmas. Love it! So beautiful. An upgrade to the old one.

KitchenAid 5.5 Mixer died after one use. Followed all trouble shooting tips to no avail.
