Good price for the mixer. The 5 qt bowl from the Pro 5 fits on a Pro 6 mixer and the beater and dough hook are interchangeable between the two. Bought this Pro 5 so that I could do smaller 4 to 6 c sized batches that a bit too small for the Pro 6 to mix well. Not overly noisy. The handle on the 5 qt bowl is very uncomfortable to hold when loaded and that is the reason for the reduction to 4 stars.

I've been waiting on this type of mixer for years. I got a great bargain, and it doesn't disappoint. Cookies with the granddaughters, sausage balls with the wife, the mixer didn't strain a bit. Only downside is it's difficult to find a pour shield for a non-tilt mixer.

Ordering this and picking it up were so simple! I love the mixer. It works great. I did order another blade from Kitchenaid that scrapes the bowl as it mixes. It seems like that's the only way to get runnier batter to mix up well. Also ordered a bowl shield to keep things from flying out and makes it easier to pour things in. This was a good price for a great mixer. I'm happy.

I have been in love with KitchenAid mixers since I was gifted my very first one in 2008. I still have it and it works perfectly. I bought this one because of the bowl size and the lift design and I love it also. You can't go wrong with a KitchenAid mixer.

I love my new KitchenAid mixer. I chose the red one. Online shipping was very fast especially considering it was right around the Christmas holiday. I have used the mixer several times for breads and cakes. I also purchased an additional attachment to shred vegetables and cheese for salads. The attachments are easy to use. I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this mixer. It's wonderful.

Replaced my ancient KA mixer with this one. Was so excited to get it. Works great but it's much louder than my 30 year old one which doesn't make much sense. Noticed from other comments that lots of others have said the same thing. Love that it has the smaller bowl in addition to large. Wish it had an actual whip for the smaller bowl but the wire one works pretty good.

The reason for only 3stars wasn't the because of the mixer. It arrived early (good) but the box had a big tear near the bottom. In addition the box had obviously been opened & resealed. The paddle/whisks had been used but not cleaned so obviously again a previously used & returned item. The main reason for my return was the mixer was just too big for my small kitchen

I did several price comparisons before making my purchase at Sam's. I was replacing the same Kitchen Aid stand mixer that I had had for many years, so it wasn't a product comparison, but a price comparison and Sam's was offering the best price at purchase and the "included free items" were an added bonus. The Kitchen Aid Professional model is sturdy and reliable.

I purchased this for my daughter in law.She bakes some great desserts to die for. My son and his family lost their house to a fire recently. I purchased this to replace her Kitchen Aid that she lost. She was thrilled to receive it. I saved so much money on this and made her very happy. Thank you Sam's.

The color is gorgeous! I upgraded from a regular size kitchen aid mixer that I've had for over 20 years. That one is being passed down to my daughter. I expect this one to last just as long. Great power for grinding deer meat for summer sausage. Best mixers on the market I think.
