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.

Wow!!! Been a KitchenAid mixer owner for 25 years and it’s still going. This new Mixer is such a blessing as I can no longer lift or scoot anything heavy. Will pass my older mixer down to my granddaughter. Highly recommend this new mixer and the price, fantastic!!!!!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love the mixer, would recommend it to anyone but the 3 quart bowl and mini whisk were a fail as they rubbed really bad no matter how the hight adjustment was set, can't use them. Different attachment would be better or I just got a bad mini whisk or something.

This is the real thing. Whoever runs the kitchen workshop needs real professional level tools. In our case it is my wife. She has owned prize-winning restaurants, but never wanted to spend the money for the same quality tools she had in her restaurant kitchens. Christmas was the breakthrough moment. While baking something she just couldn’t any longer mix the heavy batter by hand. At last we finally out a kitchen aid mixer at home. The down side is now my wife wants me to get down to the shop and make a proper work table for it. It’s now part of our family. Fair warning

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my nephew. He loved it and sent me a picture of his first food creation, a calzone, using the dough hook and as many accessories as possible. The calzone looked delicious. He told me that this KitchenAid Mixer was going to be his most used kitchen appliance and he plans to experiment with many different dishes.

This is a wonderful machine. My first KitchenAid mixer has lasted for over 40 years. Unfortunately We didn’t bring it with us…. So we purchased this one after realizing that a hand mixer couldn’t do the job this KitchenAid could. Nice, smooth, strong motor makes a batch of 90 cookies with ease. I am concerned the lifting mechanism seems loose yet so far it has given me no reason to complain. I’m also glad to have the extra whisk, bread dough hook, etc. Sams Club definitely had the best price around! Merry Christmas to me.

I’ve always wanted one of these stand mixers. Finally decided to get one while it was on major sale. I wish I would have got one years ago. I just got started in sourdough and hand mixing almost deterred me for good. This was a game changer!! The bowl is a little tricky to figure out at first but it doesn’t take long to figure it out. Pro bakers would probably give 3 stars but if you’re just a regular person looking to save time and your arm this is a fantastic buy!!

I am very happy with my purchase. I do miss the head that tilts but it is fine. You just lower the bowl. All the extra accessories are so helpful! It is very heavy so if you are older it may be difficult to move without help. However the work it does is amazing!

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.

What's not to like? A great powerhouse in my kitchen. Baked hoards of cookies. Not having to use a hand mixer saved me a lot of time and headaches. This is an upgrade to my other mixer (also a KitchenAid) More power, larger size bowl, loved having the lift arm plus the bonus getting the smaller bowl and utensils! What a deal!
