[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my Christmas gift to myself after watching too many seasons of the Great British Baking Show. I feel like my family and friends should reimburse me after all the amazing meals and deserts I've made them. This mixer seemed intimidating to me after using a hand mixer all my life but it was surprisingly easy to use. It is easy to clean up. I've used the shredder attachment and they were also easy to use. My mashed potatos are no longer lumpy and I save so much time in the kitchen now. Love this machine.

[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 purchased this mixer when my stand mixer quit. I received what I felt was a good deal and the mixer came with the slicer/shredder attachment. I have enjoyed this mixer and it does an excellent job. It is easy to use, but be warned, it is heavy. It has not moved on my counter while in use. I have only used the shredder attachment. It was easy to attach to mixer and shredded my cheese easily. The attachments were easy to clean and mixer easy to wipe off. I feel I scored big time with this purchase. You, too, will enjoy this mixer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as my older one is starting to make different noises when I use it, however this I one quart smaller. I didn't think it was a big difference but it is. I was able to make a triple batch of cookies in the old one but now I'm lucky to make a double batch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good. Only used it for several batches of cookies and whipping cream. So much more efficient than with hand mixer. Only one negative: was disappointed to discover the head doesn’t lock in the up position.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new stand mixer. It came with a Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder. This attachment is handy if doing large volumes of slicing/shredding, otherwise, a peeler and knife is faster. It mixes at the different speeds wonderfully and didn't bog down with bread flour. (using bread hook) I'm happy to have this addition to my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always this stand mixer is brilliant - makes baking so quick and simple. The shredder attachment works really well making this mixer even more useful in the kitchen for salads, carrot cake and fritters

Beaters don't mix the ingredients that get tamped down or caught around the "divet" in the bottom of the bowl.The divet is too deep. Must scrape the sides multiple times in a batch. Beater often falls off the mixer head. Latching on isn't tight enough. My old KA mixer from 1951(yes!) did not have this problem. The old KA beaters are worn so thin that I fear the metal will break off in the batter. It was a work horse for me. I am disappointed you do not make the beater replacements for my 1951 model. They should be universal beaters for ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was bought to replace my 20 year old classic KitchenAid stand mixer. After 20 years going strong, it still worked but was getting 'wobbly' and loose. I wanted the newer model for the added features and to have a newer/tighter model. I handed the first one down to my wife's aunt (who will probably have it for another 20 years). These things are amazing and indestructible!!! I have made countless cakes, batches of biscuits, batches of mashed potatoes, and meat loaf's using the original and have already broken in the new one with the same. An amazing product for sure, made just as good or better than my old one. I love the attachments. it makes cheese shreds as soft as clouds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a beginning baker and have had my eye on this for a while now. I finally bought one over the holidays and couldn't be happier! It is LIFE changing for baking! Don't think twice you will not regret the purchase, worth every penny!
