[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 3 weeks ago and used it for the first time yesterday to make cookies. I used the shield to pour the flour mixture but was disappointed with how much flour dust escaped. My hand mixer was better on this account.

I'm on my second Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer and I have to say I'm extremely disappointed... The first one I had, the motor actually burnt - there was smoke coming out of it! Super scary. I do bake a lot, and I love making breads, so it is an appliance I use often. But since they call it the 'kitchen work horse', I never expected it to burn down on me. I bit the bullet and bought another one, because I love the way it looks and it is a good machine if you only use it once in a blue moon. Needless to say, that I now have my second one, and the motor started smoking again this past weekend while I was making bread. I guess this machine is only good for the person who bakes once in a while, or doesn't do much baking. If you're making breads and really using your machine, do not buy this appliance, or you may run the risk of it going on fire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sadly...I just don't see how a stand mixer is so great and what the hype about it is. Have only used it twice and that's because flour and everything flies out of it and it's never fully mixed. It's also difficult to add ingredients-the shield thing it comes with is not that well made. A quality made machine but one I will hardly ever use. My hand mixer works so much better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best gift that I ever received. I have made so many cookies. I can’t believe I waited this long to have one. I’m very pleased with the product. Can’t wait to get some other attachments to make more delicious foods.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my first stand mixer 15 years ago and immediately wondered how I ever got along without one. I bake as a hobby and this appliance is an absolute Godsend. In December, I literally bake thousands of cookies as gifts. This last November, the motor on my beloved appliance gave out. My husband quickly stated that I was getting an early Christmas present, and sure enough, I had a new stand mixer in 2 days!. And yes, this December, I did indeed bake thousands of cookies much to the delight of co workers, family and friends!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really disappointed with my purchase. I absolutely love my previous artisan mixer but ordered this item specifically for the color to match our new house decor. While using it the first time, it sounded like the motor was already going out. I will say customer service was fantastic to work with! The lady heard the motor and agreed it should not sound like that. A new one is on its way to me. If you don’t have this issue then you’re golden.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband & I have been cooking a lot more since being quarantined and the options with our Kitchenaid stand mixer are great. Shredding cabbage and carrots are a breeze and mixing up cheese balls for the neighbors for Christmas was so easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my kitchen aid mixer. It was worth every penny. The shredded attachment is a great tool to have but I wish there was some way it sloped downward as when I am using it the things will stay lodged in there and I have to take it off dump it out then start back shredding. Other than that I even purchased several other of the attachments and I love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MIxer works as advertised, and does a wonderful job of mixing the things I ask it to do. Have not used the slicer/shredder yet, but bought and have used a Pasta Making attachment that made wonderful spaghetti and noddles that my family loved. Plan on using it more in the future as our life together has just started.
