I bought a KitchenAid Professional HD Stand Mixer from Sam's several years ago. I love it and use it often for bread, sausage, and many other recipes. Here is how strong and well-built it is: I was making bread one day and the dough was on the tough side. I was not paying attention to the mixer, and it was bouncing on the counter. It jumped off the count onto the floor. The only damage was to the little accessory door for attachments. The machine still works without any worries. It jumped because of how strong the motor is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The KitchenAid Stand Mixer has been a staple in my kitchen for several years, with the current classic red iteration still going strong after 7 years of heavy use. My whole family loves cooking and baking, and my husband is especially passionate about his culinary creations. We have all sorts of mixers and blenders but the trusty KitchenAid is always pulled out for the big work. The only issues I personally had with it was the weight and bulk, both of which made it all the more cumbersome to tilt lift the head to remove the bowl or add ingredients. So a couple days ago, my new matte blue beauty arrived in the mail and we were truly blown away. Aesthetically, let’s just say the Stand Mixer has made it to full time countertop space. The beautiful, matte powder blue body is classic and modern, and I swear it’s maybe a third of the weight of our old one. It’s streamlined and easy to move around. The fresh, sleek new look carries through to the stainless steel components as does the obviously increased performance and quality. Included with the mixer are another half sized mixing bowl and multiple attachments, along with a super cool spatula with a special groove for getting all the delicious stuff stuck on the whisks. The crowning achievement is absolutely the new Bowl-Lift technology that solves all of my problems and even allows my 4 and 6 year old budding chefs to join in safely and easily. With the 2 side by side, the differences are plain to see. The professional level output has twice the power so my amazing cook of a husband can go to town on everything from fresh masa dough to thick salsas to handmade pasta and everything in between. I am so excited for the kitchen memories my family and I will create together with the help of our new KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third Kitchenaid stand mixer, and my favorite. Has all the power I need for home use, and can use all the attachments. Easy to move up and down, and also adjust to the right depth for whichever beater you are using. This is my favorite simply because it comes with a 3 quart bowl, which is wonderful to use when you are making a smaller amount. So handy - I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because I am a cake for over 25 years my hands can no longer use a hand mixture .I have carpal tunnel and was experiencing pain using a hand mixture.. My daughters gave me this KitchenAid for a Christmas gift. I was so excited to get it. I have been using this appliance ever since.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this mixer. It's a classic. I debated between a lift bowl and a lift mixer head for a bit because I've had both in the past and there are pros to both. In the end, this model is sturdier and can handle larger quantities of dough and mix. The engine feels more powerful than the smaller models as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am enjoying my new kitchen aid stand mixer! It is perfect for all of my baking needs, and I really enjoy the 1/2 speed option. I also got a bonus with a small bowl and whisk! Would definitely recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mixer is amazing, it's big and very sturdy. I love how easy it is to use. And the different attachments make is easy to mix anything. The bowl can be raised and lowered to get the bottom of the bowl with ease.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my mixer but I'm pretty upset that I've only used it a few times and the paint is already coming off the paddle it is the powder coated paint one I would have thought it would have lasted longer so much for quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago when my Artisan mixer started to cut off while using it. My old mixer was about 17 years old. It was a gift. My stand mixer is nice but I liked the tilted heard mixer better. It’s taking me a while to understand how to clean my blades and wipe down the bowl without removing the bowl. I’m learning how to work with it. I love my mixer and wish I could have two, then my grandma could work beside me. I’ll never buy anything else. I thought it would be heavy but it’s not much heavier than my old mixer. Now I need a few accessories to go with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited with this new mixer. It's good quality it's sturdy, very heavy. I like the extra parts it includes. I love the color. It's easy to use and works wonders and it makes cooking so much easier. Speeds are beyond expected and helps me make amazing food. Love it!
