[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mixer is hands-down better than my last stand mixer. It is heavy, but that makes is sturdy. It doesn't wobble around on the counter. The bowl and tilting head lock in place. The motor runs smoothly. It works great! So far, since receiving my KitchenAid mixer for Christmas, I have made bread multiple times, ground meat and made other baked goods. It's easy to clean, easy to use and I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought this for me since my other one stopped working. I love that I can tilt the top back which makes putting the bowl in easier. It also came with some extra parts and best of all I was able to get it in red!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my mixer for 6 months now, and have used it nearly weekly for different projects. As much as I want to be able to give the mixer 5 stars, I can’t. A 5 rating equates to perfection, but it hasn’t been perfect for me. Each time I use it I have stop in the middle of mixing to scrap the sides and bottom of the bowl. I understand that a scrapper beater is available, but for the cost of the machine, I feel it should have been included as a standard attachment. In addition, I’ve had some difficulty attaching the shredder attachment. However, once attached it worked great, I just wish the feeder spout was a bit larger. I just purchased the meat grinder attachment and am looking forward to using it, I just hope that I don’t have as much difficulty attaching it as I did attaching the shredder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. I absolutely love the shredder attachment. Shreads cheese in minutes. Mixer is fantastic. Wish I bought sooner. The only negative is the splatter shield. The gap between the mixer and the edge of the shield is a bit too large and let's flour fly out while mixing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never could understand my daughters in laws obsessions with their Kitchen Aid mixers. Until I was baking cookies with a friend and botched the recipe. It was either triple it, or throw it out. Her Kitchen Aid mixer made short work of that triple recipe! I went and bought one for myself the next day at 56 years old! I've used it for everything from baking to mixing meatloaf. How did I live this long without it?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this almost a month ago, after years of debating if it was worth the price and counter space. It is, and so much more! I use it almost daily and still learning new tips and tricks. I just shredded chicken with no effort so easy and quick!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is amazing! Hands free mixing/slicing/shredding at its BEST! As I have very arthritic hands and using a hand mixer was becoming painful, I decided to purchase a KitchenAid Artisan 5 quart mixer which includes a fresh prep slicer/shredder. It's a lifesaver and makes cooking/baking a pleasure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in a bad car crash 4 years ago amd have under gone multiple surgeries to my right arm. With the nerve damage in that arm now it makes it very hard to mix when cooking. I have gone through a few other mixers that have broke but still always had to scrap the side of the bowls while mixing. I have always wanted the kitchen aid mixer but couldn't afford it. Well after my recent surgery in November the mixer I had broke while making gingerbread cookies. My husband told me to go ahead and buy tje Kitchen Aid. Oh my goodness! This mixer was a lifesaver during the holidays only being one handed. I never had to scrap the bowl. It bended all the ingredients very well and in half the time other mixers have done. I love to cook and I can not wait to be able to purchase the attachments!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the mixer and it is a great for all my needs, especially kneading dough, I am, however, upset that the white coating on the dough hook attachment is peeling off. I am hoping Kitchen Aid will replace it. It would have been 5 stars had not been for this issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking at this for over a year and I finally took the plunge and bought one. Why did I wait so long? This mixer is wonderful! I was afraid it would be difficult to use . Not so. It was so easy and my hands were free to do other things. It mixed so thoroughly and quickly. I just love this mixer.
