[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.] 40 years ago I spent my wedding money on a harvest gold KitchenAid tilt-headmixer. I sold it and bought a white one after about 15 years. I then bought a pink one and had two at the same time. I could keep going, but none have broken down. I sell them or give them away. I bought new ones just for a color change. This aqua sky ones looks awesome on my kitchen counter. I expect it to give me the same great performance as all of my previous ones. I don’t plan to ever be without one and always recommend them to others. I haven’t tried out the Fresh Prep attachment yet. Love my KitchenAid mixers!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my red kitchen aid mixer to make the greatest cheese cake ever. Could not make a great cheese cake without it. I can cream the cream cheese for 4 minutes until smooth and blending in the other ingredients in a single bowl making it Quick and Easy to end of job.

[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.] I got this for Christmas, had told my son I really want one , but have no storage for it! He got it anyway!! I store it in the garage, so it is readily available!! I do wish I had a cover for it, but, hey, it's all good!! I love it!! I also got a pasta attachment for it and could not be happier!!

[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’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.

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.] Never thought I'd enjoy an appliance so much. Have used my hand mixer in the past to make cookies which hurt my bad shoulders.. Now I can make cookie pain free. Love the cheese shredder - we no longer use pre-shredded cheese in a bag. Enjoying my beautiful Christmas gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an early Christmas present from my husband. Each year a bake dozens of cookies and end up burning out my hand mixer. I’ve gone through several year after year. Not this year. I love having my hands free and letting the mixer do the work. Looking forward to continued use. I’ve even made bread which I was always hesitant to try. Thank you KichenAid! Looking forward to many, many years of use.
