[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a Christmas present for my wife to make things easier for her and free up some time for her. Well it made things super easy, didn't free up any time because now she is making more goodies. Great machine and she loves it. Will be purchasing more attachments for it in the near future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Son bought me a mixer for Christmas with Processing attachment and I seem to use it every other day cooking or baking something. Wife says my Creations are Wonderful and my grad kids love the cookies I make.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted a Kitchenaid stand mixer forever! I received as a gift with the slicing/shredding attachment. It is AMAZING and has made my time in the kitchen so enjoyable!! I use it every week to mix breads, cookies, muffins and grate veggies— one appliance to make carrot cake or zucchini bread!! Saves time and money!! Truly worth the investment! Wish I had done it a lot sooner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this mixer! What a helpful tool for a home baker! I'm in love with the fact that I can whip up several batches of cookies in no time at all. This mixer saves me so much time and energy. The shredding attachment is wonderful for grating zucchini for homemade zucchini breads. I can't wait to see what else this baby can do! Definitely would recommend this tool in your kitchen. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been making a lot of breads thanks to my new kitchen aid mixer. My only complaint so far is that at a speed of 2, it starts jumping as it starts getting my bread dough into a smooth consistency. Nothing major, but still surprising seeing how heavy it is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to make healthier options for my family. When I’m making bread I can’t keep the tilt head locked down. It slaps and moves up and down. It’s frustrating to spend this kind of money and need to hold the mixer the entire time I’m mixing dough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great addition to any kitchen for bakers and non-bakers. I never thought I needed this mixer until I actually used one. I could not be without it now. I have the the shredding attachment as well. Love it!

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.] I received this as an early Christmas gift to help with all my holiday baking. I’ve used kitchen aid mixers in the past but never had my own. What a life changer! It cut my prep time and all my baked goods came out great this season! I’ve loved experimenting with my own mixer and learning what else it can be used for beyond mixing for the traditional baked goods - and am excited to explore the savory side of the kitchen aid artisan mixer this winter! The only thing I’d say I was not pleasantly surprised by was the whisk attachment; I tried using it and the top of the whisk that clicks into the mixer is unfinished and left my hands black. I’ve washed it a few times but each time it continues to leave black marks behind on my hands & mixer - not sure how to fix this yet! One improvement suggestion would be that the head attachment always stops at the back of the bowl! Otherwise love! :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my wife as a gift. She loves it so much. It helps her to save so much time and effort to cook. A must have in your kitchen. After this purchase, I bought another set of knives of KitchenAid.
