I am not crazy about the lift arms. The bigger bowl doesnt fit on it until its lifted up but you have to lower it to put the attachments on and off. I like my previous mixer better where the top or head part goes back and the bowls secure to the bottom.

Love my KitchenAid, my last was 10 years old before wearing out, purchased to replace and it did not disappoint, the extra accessories are a plus a plus as well, the only thing that could be better is if the splash guard for this size was more readily available or included with the package.

Had my old one for many years. This larger version is great for any recipe that is large. Made a few items so far and really like it. No flour storm and whips great for frosi\ting in smaller bowl. Haven't tried bread yet. Keep it on my counter - too heavy to lift from cabinet but it is used often so it is a non issue for me.

Love my KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. It has great power to get the job done. So far, I have made a pound cake, a cheeseball, and mashed potatoes twice. (Christmas & New Years Eve) This mixer made the process so easy. It is also surprisingly quiet, runs smooth, has plenty of speed selections, and it is easy to clean. However, it is heavy, so plan to leave it out on your countertop, but it is so nice looking you really won't want to hide it in a cabinet. Also, the bowl can be a challenge to snap into place, but you get used to it real fast. I am so glad I chose this model and I am very happy I bought it from Sam's Club at a great price!

I love the way this looks in my kitchen, it’s very classy and the color is beautiful ( I got the silver/gray ) Purchase the extra insurance 3 year warranty. It’s more powerful than my old kitchen aid mixer bought over 15 years ago. Will definitely enjoy a lot of baking this year for Christmas. Sam’s club had the best price especially when I got it on sale. Thanks Sam’s ♥️

This is a very good mixer, especially at this price. I made a double batch of cookies the first use and was really impressed by the power. Sam's has this package with the extra bowl and whip, the only thing making it more of a bargain than elsewhere.

Love the color, works great, like my last one. I bought in this color and gave my red one to my daughter which was about 5 y/o. I got in the metallic matte finish blue, and it blends well with my kitchen and I leave on the counter. the only thing I do not like is that the bowl is not as deep as my original. I buy a lot of accessories to go with my mixer & all good.

Love this 5.5 quart lift Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Made a double batch of Chocolate Chip cookies and it mixed all the flour without having to worry about some left in the bottom of the bowl. I will have to get use to putting the bowl on the positioning pins and securing the bowl with the latch, but so far I love it. This mixer came with a smaller bowl and small wire whip which I really love for making whipped cream deserts. This is the 3rd Kitchen Aid stand mixer I have had but the first one with a lift. I love Kitchen Aid mixers.

The workers over the chiristmas holiday took the time to help me with this mixer because i wanted a black color one. They needed to get the forklift in a bush store because no black color ones were on the floor. After getting their help with getting the perfect gift they have earned my business for good.

Love the Blue color ! Only negative is it heavy to lift for a "80" year old. My other KitchenAid mixer was 42 years old and hard a hard time mixing heavy ingredients. Today was my first try making my husband's favorite cookie. (Tart Cherry Oatmeal cookies). The power was way superior to my old mixer. Additionally they have a small bowl with a small whip to do whipped cream. Surprised at the long rubber spatula with a grove to help clean the batter off the whip.
