Great Product

Great mixer.

I was looking for the Professional Bowl Lift mixer so i was excited when i happened to find it in AQUA SKY and for only $299! But i received it today and found out why: it's a "special" model for Sam's Club and/or CostCo. PROBLEM #1: it's only a 5 quart bowl. I thought all professional models were 6 qt PROBLEM #2: you can't get extra attachments for these "special" models (told to me by Kitchen Aid rep). ANd i need to use the double whip attachment. I'm so glad Sam's Club has a free return policy, because PROB#3: is that i ordered it online, and didn't realize there's no Sam's Club anywhere near me!

I have the crystal blue version of this stand mixer and I really love the way it performs. I have had the machine for about 18 months and it does a great job. The only concern I had which other buyers might want to know is that when I called Kitchenaid directly and gave them my model number, they said my model is being phased out and will be discontinued within a period of time-- I don't particularly like that part because Kitchenaid is coming out with cool accessories for the bowl lift stand mixers like glass bowls supported by a metal ring, but they will not be made for the 5-quart bowls. Sam's Club: Can you get glass bowls stocked for the Professional HD mixers you sell? Are they being phased out?

I bought mine 6 years ago. It sits on my kitchen counter and I've used it probably 20 times. It broke on Christmas Day when I was making tamales. For a "Professional" product and as expensive as they are, I expected it to last for many, many years with the amount of times I use it a year. Will never buy a KitchenAid mixer again.

So, after having my 1st KitchenAid Ultra Plus mixer for only 3 years, it no longer works. Figured it was just a fluke, since all I hear is how long KitchenAid mixers last/how awesome they are. My husband decided to buy me another one(this one) for my birthday. Worked “ok” the 1st time. 2nd time it wouldn't even turn on, I had to turn off & on a couple of times before it would work. Still have to do it each time/during mixing. It's very loud, clunky, & whiny sounding. Obviously something is seriously wrong with this mixer & my previous one. I am very, very disappointed with KitchenAid mixers. Luckily I still have the receipt, as I have owned it less than 1 month. Hopefully it'll be all taken care of and I don't end up with this expensive piece of junk. Buyers beware, sadly.

Fabulous mixer
