[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.] Plastic piece inside (under control spring)cracked while making bread. Can't turn it on at all. Can't believe I have to figure out how to fix it. Probably used less than 20 times. First time for bread. This cost way too much to break so easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my stand mixer as a gift from my husband about a month ago. I had wanted one for years and haved used it for a variety of things. The dough hook makes bread making so much easier. I highly recommend the Kitchenaid mixer!

[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 wanted a Kitchen Aid stand mixer for so long, and just received one as a gift. Have used it several times for cookies and the cheese grater attachment is a great time saver. Next up - mixing meatballs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m always in the kitchen making something. It’s almost like I can hear my mixer every time I walk by say,” What are we gonna make now?” I love it and I truly enjoy using it to make my family great food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always wanted a stand mixer. I looked at cheaper models, bought hand mixers instead, told myself I didn't really need one. Then the right deal at the right time, with the extra value of the slicer/shredder attachment came along. I AM THRILLED! I am having so much fun trying new recipes, seeing how easy it is to make old favorites, shredding a mountain of cheese in moments, cleaning up in short order. This powerful mixer is magic! I am in love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally replaced my 40+ year old mixer and can’t believe how super my new Kitchenaid stand mixer is! I’m making bread and Christmas cookies and it is so much easier. Wish I hadn’t waited so long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Need to get used to speed setting. Made cookies and used too high of a speed, over mixing the batter and cookies baked flat. Was my first time using. But it does what it was designed to do. Hand mixers are not as effective as the Kitch Aide mixer, making the process much easier .

[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.
