I bought this so I could start learning how to make gluten free breads and muffins for my husband, who now has a gluten allergy. I had shopped around and was comparing several different models and finally purchased this one. I absolutely love it. I have made muffins, bread, cakes, and pizza dough, all gluten free.

Been looking to find the best price because is very expensive! Finally sams club have the best sale I'm impressed how heavy it is this thing. So far i like it i need to adjusted a little. Now I want to try different attachments but of course I'll wait until found a good price!

Do your research... As mush as I LOVE this mixer, as it definitely has the 525 motor, the extra 3qt bowl and whisk, all kitchenmaid attachments work with the hub and the price is great. However, I have been having a hard time finding extra bowls and whisks to fit this specific model. Knowing that kitchenaid makes quality mixers, I hope there isn't a time or need to replace what I can't replace.

My new KitchenAid mixer is easy to use. It runs quietly and mixes efficiently, even with bread dough and heavy batter like carrot cake. The small bowl is great for whipping egg whites and making icing. I am glad that Sam's Club sells this mixer. I highly recommend it.

I've wanted a stand mixer for a long time & this was an early Christmas present to myself. I am not disappointed! It got a workout on Thanksgiving & I was very impressed with how easy it was to use & how well it worked. We put it through several pies, cakes & even the mashed potatoes & I was so happy I finally treated myself. It is huge so if you have a small kitchen it's going to take up a large footprint on your counter. But if you use it often, it's well worth it!

If you want to take your baking to the next level, I highly recommend owning an automatic handless mixer. It has made baking so much more enjoyable for me: faster and less tiring. The machine is smooth and very pretty to have on your kitchen countertop. The bowl can hold A LOT! The recipe for 12 cupcakes that i used only filled up the bowl 1/4. Five quarts bowl is more than enough for home use! My only criticism would be: the top of this model does not lift up like the artisan, so sometime it is difficult to pour ingredients neatly into the bowl and the whisk is in the way. Also, must scape the bowl every so often. Otherwise, love this machine!

My wife has been wanting a KitchenAid mixer for a long time, so I decided to surprise her with one. She has been using it non-stop, and can't stop talking about how much she loves it. I had no idea everything it can do, or all of the attachments that are available. It seems that I ended up getting a gift for myself, in a sense; because my wife hasn't stopped making stuff with it since she got it. It definitely is tough and versatile. I am very happy with this purchase and I am sure we will be adding even more attachments.

I lost my original mixer in a house fire. Once my home was rebuilt my Kitchen Aid mixer was one of the first items i wanted to replace.. My husband surprised me with this new mint color mixer that matches my kitchen decor perfectly. I love my mixer for making pizza dough, home made pasta, desserts and soooo much more

I've been waiting over 20 years to get one of these. I got it as a Christmas present from my husband. We never could afford one. Still couldn't but he just went ahead and got it. And It's a red one. It's a very nice mixer and has the capabilities of adding quite a few different attachments. My sister loves the noodle maker.

This is not quite as nice as my older nearly 20 y/o Kitchenaid mixer. The lifting handle really needs a "handle piece" on the end instead of just the metal rod. I would prefer at least a 6 qt. bowl instead of the 5--guess I will order that. I would like a bowl splatter cover, too, which it didn't come with. Otherwise, the mixer works well, and I much prefer the bowl lift style over the tilting head type. Love the extra bowl and accessories!
