 Amazing Product! September 24, 2008

I don't know how I lived without this!! The price was great and it's a real workhorse. I now make my bread without kneading by hand! The dough hook does all the work! I just accept all the praise!

This mixer is awesome. It holds more than one cake mix at a time which my previous one didn't. It mixes well but takes a while for small amounts. I rarely use small batches so this isn't an issue with me. It is loud but I love the sound of it (just means it's working without me standing there). If you need a good strong mixer to make large batches this is the one for you.
What A Wonderful Mixer!! September 21, 2008

This is my second stand mixer of my married life. My first mixer (not a kitchenaid) lasted 25+ years before the motor started to give out. I did the research before deciding on a KitchenAid Mixer. What was tough about the decision was either to get a lift bowl or a tilt. My old mixer was a tilt. I opted for the bowl lift. Got to have changes in life sometimes :) I'm having trouble getting used to the new lift bowl when adding more ingredients tho. I haven't used the bowl shield yet, so I think this will help. But time will help solve that problem. I have used it almost every week since getting it. I make my own bread, cookies, etc...from scratch, so I needed the bigger bowl for those double batches. I've had no problem with the motor or beaters. I also purchased the attachment package too! It was shipped right away, which was a life saver. I was in the middle of making bread & butter pickles, so I used the thin slicer for the pickles. It made easy work and sliced the cucumbers perfectly. It does weigh alot more than my old mixer, but eventually it will have a permanent place on the kitchen counter. I love the slow start up, my old mixer didn't have this feature and I ended up with flour all over the kitchen every time. I did buy the extended warranty just as a safety net after reading the other reviews. I did have to purchase a blender (went with a KitchenAid 5 speed after reading the reviews) to replace the one that went with my old mixer.KitchenAid KSB560OB 5-Speed 56-Ounce Blender, Onyx Black The old mixer had many attachments that the KitchenAid doesn't offer. I would recommended this mixer to anyone from a new bride to an old veteran in the kitchen. Happy Cooking!!
Double batch choc. chip cookies? No problem!! :) September 16, 2008

After owning an avocado green KitchenAid mixer with a smaller mixing bowl for 30 odd years, I finally decided to purchase a newer model with a larger mixing bowl (6 quart). I gave my still working fine avocado green mixer to one of my children. I can now make a double batch of cookies without any of the batter spilling out over the bowl. The spiral bread hook is fantastic, much better than the older model hook, which was more a "J" shape which resulted in the batter riding up the hook toward the mixer's head. Bottom line, the 6 quart KitchenAid is terrific! Although the 1st two mixers came slightly damaged, KitchenAid's response time was lightning quick and I received replacement mixers without any delay or aggravation. I'd say I'd buy another mixer again without any hesitation, however, since I had my first KitchenAid mixer for more than 30 years, I doubt that I'll live long enough to purchase another!! :) But if I do live that long, it will be another KitchenAid!!
 Heavy-Duty, but noisy September 15, 2008

noisy. bowl welds (as on all kitchen aid mixer models) not built to last - took bowl to metal shop and made more tac welds to strengthen.
