(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is my second kitchen aid mixer- had the same bowl- lifting style for over 20 years! Used the new mixer a few times! Worked great, but when working heavier dough, the bowl became disconnected from the raised locking mechanism and "dropped" out of place. This never happened with my old mixer!

This is an absolute failure - the mixing blades do not reach the bottom, and you have to stop it many times to make sure butter does not stay on the bottom. Defeats the purpose altogether. The way it goes down, you can not stick in spatula, have to remove the bowl... I wish I could return it. I had a basic model with a tilted head and a smaller bowl for almost 15 years and that was many times better than this one. The mixer does not feel sturdy and solid either. Would not recommend to anyone! Not sure how anyone can be happy with it...

I bought this mixer to replace the iced that died I got from my Grandma that was about 50 years old. Mixer broke the first time I used it. I was making bread and only used in the specified gears per Kitchenaid. It died within 1 minute of starting. Will be returning.

The colors are not true to color so beware when choosing the one you want to match your kitchen. For example, the "light blue" color shows more of a mint green which is what I was hoping for. Instead, it is a baby blue color and much like the blue color choice for the first blue swatch. I replaced my 25 year old Artisan Kitchen Aide Mixer with this one....I miss my Artisan. This has no option to raise or lower the arm housing, which makes cleaning so much easier. The speeds have a delay and the bowls are much smaller than that of the Artisan. This one does not come with a splash guard lid (sold separately) so be careful at higher speeds. All in all a good mixer but not great.

I bought this in August 2023. I have used it about 20 times for making bread. Never over the recommended speed. Today it started grinding then quit. I finished by hand. This is the second of this model to do this but I did get several years of service before the previous one failed. Not a happy camper Sams!

Tried and true

Avoid! Seriously! Run! It's a $300 paperweight taking up a huge chunk of space in my cabinet. I purchased this stand mixer last time it was on sale. It lasted only 14 months, used maybe 20 times, and the motor is toast. I took it out to whip some cream for a cake, and it began screeching and squealing as the motor began to burn up so I turned it off and finished the cream by hand. The KitchenAid website is USELESS. I contacted customer service by email and by phone and there was no resolution as it was just out of the one-year factory warranty. I expected far more out if this product, and I am sure that anyone else would expect more too. I will never, ever purchase another KitchenAid product of ANY kind EVER again!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this not long ago and it’s an amazing machine. It’s mixing power it’s smooth and handles different kinds of doughs without overheating. I have been using it to make breads and spreads. The machine is stable while on the highest setting.. doesn’t dance around on the counter. The size of the bowl, handles small and large batches, overal I would recommend this machine for those that often bake at home.

Used this mixer i waited all year for exactly once! It stopped working before cookie dough was finished. A mere small batch and mixer just quit! IT was immediately taken back to Sam's where it was purchased. There was another on the cou n ter just brought back. Yet another waiting to return one. I did get another but dont have much hope. Supposedly the gears etc are a mess due to products used. What's up kitchen aide? This is sad.

Kitchen aid mixer is garbage. Purchased for my wifes Christmas present and let her use it early because I was nervous about the other reviews talking about it dying on first use. Guess what, it died making cookies on the first use. "WAS NOT OUR OUTLET". My outlet is GFCI protected and did not trip. Tested other products on outlet after Kitchen aid mixer died, other devices worked fine. This is horrible quality and should not be tolerated from this company. Stop giving them money.
