[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchen aid mixer works amazingly! First of all I love the blue color it comes in, gives my kitchen a nice pop of color! Second of all it has so many attachments, I used the grater for cheese and was pleasantly surprised how easy it way. I also love the mixer helped me make cake batter easily and left me with a perfectly smooth batter! Love it!

[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.] I am so happy with this KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. It is strong and sturdy. It has plenty of power and has worked great for the things I have mixed with it. I was surprised at how simple and easy it is to operate once you become familiar with it. The bowl firmly snaps into place and is held very securely but also pops out with little effort when you are ready to remove it from the stand. A lever moves the lift up and down. There is also an adjustment screw to fine tune the bowl placement so the beater or whisk just barely clears the bowl to maximize mixing without hitting the bowl and causing wear and damage. It is simple and easy to attach and remove the various attachments. There is a wide selection of speed settings so you can work to your needs. The color finish of the stand is beautiful and very high quality that will not be easily damaged. It is easy to clean. The materials and build of the stand are very high quality. This is a very sturdy mixer that will last a long time. This set comes with many pieces. Having the smaller bowl as well as the regular size bowl is really nice when I'm working with small amounts. The different attachments are great for different jobs and the spatula is shaped just right to work perfectly with this set up. All of the included items are high quality, function great, and are very durable. This mixer really does make things easier and more convenient. I am happily surprised at how much difference it makes. I am so glad I tried this mixer. I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this as a christmas gift. I do enjoy it for the most part, however when making my sourdough bagels it is unable to keep up with kneading the dough, it bogs downs and overheats and the part that hold the bowl wobbles as the dough hook kneads. Yes I only use it on the low setting no more than two as instructions directed.

[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.] There is nothing quite like a kitchen aid. I am convinced this is the best stand mixer in the market. This appliance makes me feel like I am a professional at baking and cooking. Mixing, whisking, or making dough-- this mixer does everything

[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.] This is the best mixer I've ever used. This is much more powerful and can do so much more than my previous one. Also, it comes with so many accessories that makes baking so much easier and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this as a Christmas gift because of my love and passion for cooking. I decided to try my hand at baking a homemade cheesecake and then layer it in between two blue velvet cakes and this mixer got ita entire price tag worth of use in just my first adventure! I used pretty much every starting accessory that it came with and they all performed wonderfully! I love my mixer and can not wait to look into all the attachments that kitchenaid has to offer that will not only help me do better with baking but also with all the other cooking and catering that I do! It looks as though I'll be able to save so much time and money once I get a few attachments under my belt!

[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.
