I bought this to replace a Kitchen Aid stand mixer I had for 25 years that I loved. The new mixer is not good for bread making. At the recommended speed the dough never comes together on the hook and cleans the sides of the bowl as it should. Part of the problem is the shape of the bowl that is wider than the original so the hook never touches most of the dough. There is no user manual to explain when and how to use the smaller bowl, which will not work with the hook attachment. I am so disappointed - left with an old mixer I loved that no longer works and now a new one that doesn't even seem like a Kitchen Aid product. How far your brand has fallen.

Overall, it was a very nice mixer, with a beautiful blue base. I was replacing my old Kitchen Aid with a new one. The mixer starts smoothly and works well. I only had one issue with it, that caused me to take away a star. The large bowl handle was not very nice. My old mixer had a nice heavy handle. This one's bowl handle is thin and annoying to hold. I decided to keep my old bowl and use it instead. That was a big disappointment. Shame on you for using cheaper materials! Get it together, Kitchen Aid! Other than that, the mixer is nice.

Love this mixer. Makes kneading bread so much kinder on arthritic hands. Easy to clean and attachments are easy to connect/disconnect. The color options make it possible to even match the appliance to your kitchen color scheme. Haven’t found any negatives yet and I’ve been using it daily for a month.

Fabulous…totally one of the best purchases

first use January 1, it made two revolution and stopped, it won't run, very expensive trash.

It didn't turn on after 2 days later

Works well as it should. Definitely an upgrade from my smaller KitchenAid mixer.

Excellent buy! Fun to use pasta attachments.

Great kitchen aid in home. Kids love noodles it made.

Product wouldn't turn on. Had to return it for a refund.
