[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having wanted to purchase a kitchenAid stand mixer for well over 20 years, but could not really justify the expense, I am so pleased that I finally chose to buy one. I am LOVING the fun of trying out well loved recipes and choosing to make double batches, as well as trying out new recipes and using the slicer attachments for such wonderful salads.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mixer the end of November. I love, the fact I don't have to stop mixing to add other ingredients. It keeps going. I used it to make gingerbread cookies (that's a real thick mixture) and they mixed up great. My husband used the slicer/shredder attachment to make slaw and he loves it.

[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.] I bought this 7 months ago and so far I love it. In the past, I did not want a stand mixer because they take up so much counter space. However, the handheld mixer became an issue for me due to shoulder issues. I love my KitchenAid stand mixer. I made a cover for it and keep it on the counter all of the time. It works great and is easy to use and to clean. I do have one negative comment. The attachments do not reach the very bottom of the mixing bowl and the bottom needs to be scraped in order to mix the dry ingredients well. Otherwise, it is perfect for my needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband has been wanting a KitchenAid for years. This year we decided it would be the gift to ourselves. Boy of boy, we were not disappointed. Our prep time has been cut in half, clean up is quick and easy and we love the machine.

From Brownies to Cheesecake to Buffalo Chicken dip to Pizza Dough this mixer makes life so much easier! The Shredder attachment is great when I need to shred 3 lbs. of cheeses for Mac n' Cheese, and it does it in minutes. Clean up is a breeze as well, since most of the items are dishwasher safe. I should have purchased one years ago!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the look is the same the feel is different. The base is lighter and there is no longer a spring to hold the mixing attachments. The motor bogs on chocolate chip cookie dough if that tells you anything.

[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 bought this for my wife about a month ago and she is enjoying it. I will be making pizza for 12 persons this Friday, will be glad it is mixing the dough instead of me. This is a good addition to my Kamado Joe smoker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always had the smaller sized bowl mixer and moved to the 5 quart. I just love this size! And, as always, I just love having a kitchen aide mixer! It makes baking so much easier! I am looking forward to trying the attachments!!
