I needed to make 100 cupcakes. 1st batch had black substance in it, so I threw the batter away. 2nd batch had black grease so I decided to find out what was going on. the mixer beaters some how were dripping grease into my batter. The mixer wasn't beating the cake batter fluffy like it usually does so I borrowed my Mom's old Sunbeam mixer and fantastic batter fluffy and no black grease.

I bought this mixer after using my daughters a few years. Hers is great no noise kneads thick pasta easily and all. This new one I got I'm thinking may have a smaller motor unsure nothing says anywhere what size motor it is. First time I plugged it in it had a noisy motor very irritating noise. So I haven't used it much. I make anything in it and it bogs down. When I tried Italian style egg noodles yesterday. Well the dough couldn't be mixed properly so I did it by hand. I went to knead it and after about 7-10 revolutions it bogged the machine down so bad I had to knead by hand the rest of the forever time by hand. I also have a grinder and shredder attachment they work fine just a noisy motor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I needed a big stand mixer until Christmas cookie season. I tried to make a batch of sugar cookies and my arms decided they were done. I didn't add the rest of the flour and my cookies were ok but not gifting good. So I started doing research and ended up with the Kitchenaid. I am in love! I use it to mix everything! I figure if I am mixing something I am dirtying a whisk or spoon and a bowl anyway. So the clean up is the same. It is a permanent counter appliance for us!

I bought this for a wedding gift and they loved it!

Grateful for a Sturdy Mixer that is quiet too.

Purchased 2 weeks ago & my Wife has been non stop baking while using this, she loves it!
