[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.] Received this as a Christmas gift from my wife and I definitely should have gotten one years ago, definitely missed out. I have made, fresh pasta, cookies, brownies and protein ice cream. This holds true to its reputation, well built and makes everything in the kitchen easier. So don’t wait any longer and get one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made a vegetable salad and used the shredder and slicer I LOVE IT! It was so easy to use and did a better job than my food processor. Then I made peanut butter cups and the mixer did a great job. The peanut butter mixture can be dense and the mixer had no problem at all. I also like that you can remove the splash guard.

I have had a kitchen aid mixer for 35 years and love love love them. My old one is a work horse and is still amazing, it has the fixed head. We bought a second family home so I just had to have another more up to date one. I wouldn't have any other mixer I even gave one to my daughter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend bought me a stand up mixer for our anniversary and I absolutely love it! I do a lot of cooking and baking and this appliance by far does the best work I have seen. Everything I have made so far came out amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Growing up I always watched my mom use hers and thought I would have one too. My dad bought me one 6 years ago and it sat in a box until I gave it to my daughter. I never told my dad I gave it to her so when he started asking about mine, I decided I better get one. I did not know what I was missing! I love it and use it all the time. I can’t wait to get the food processor for it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve wanted this mixer for a long time and finally treated myself to it for a BIG birthday in November. The timing was perfect for making so many of my holiday goodies. I’m still getting used to turning it off and unlocking the head to lift it in order to scrape down the sides and add ingredients, but that will come with time. I’m looking forward to trying the spiral, shredder attachments that came with my mixer as part of a special promotion.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a gift for myself as my 40 year old mixer was dead. I looked at all the options this has available and the the reliability. I said why not go for the top of the line and never have to worry about it again. My sis has a 30 year old one and I hope I get 30 years out of mine. Made latkes with it and it worked really well. Half the time I normally take to grate the potatoes. I am very pleased. Made cookies for the holidays and it did splendily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always thought I wanted a kitchenaid but didn’t know if I’d truly use it enough although I love to bake & cook. How have I ever lived without this! I bought pasta 3 piece attachment the shedder slicer attachment & the veggie corer slicer. I used it 3 times in one Saturday.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve read a bunch of shady reviews about the craftsmanship of the Kitchenaid brand declining so I was apprehensive to buy a mixer but mine is perfect! No chips in the paint, without the spring on the tilt head my attachments stay firm and secure, and the motor is rather quiet! I love my mixer! It came with the splatter shield and it works for me! Doesn’t slide off or anything.
