 UGLY CUSTOMER SERVICE November 17, 2008

I received the mixer along with an attachment package direct from KA. Upon opening I found attachment shaft bent and beaters would not stay on shaft as something was missing. Also found the UPS sticker over top a sticker with someone else's name and address. I felt that the unit had been returned and reshipped without someone checking it out. When I contacted KA customer service they were frightening. Told me they would replace but backorder situation would take weeks or months. I asked for return for refund. They agreed, but after two weeks with no pickup made, I contacted again. Kay at KA customer service told me no pickup had been scheduled nor would it as they only replace equipment under the warranty. Told me I could ship back at my own expense if I chose. I promptly packed and shipped back to them with tracking. Cost me $48.00 which I will never recoup. Nor will I recoup the originally shipping charge of $25.00 they added to my bill to send me the broken unit and attachment. So for the "pleasure" of doing business with Kithenaid it cost me $73.00 and I have nothing to show for my money. Kitchenaid is nothing more than a scam front. They sell and ship broken mixers that they know or should know are not working. I could have used the money to purchase another brand that does work out of the box. Be real careful dealing with Kitchenaid. They are no longer owned by the same people who built quality mixers years ago. Like so many good American brands they were sold off to quick buck artists who are recouping their investment by hook or by crook. I don't know who curently owns Kitchenaid, but it isn't Hobart any longer. In fact Hobart still makes high quality mixers that work well and last forever and compete directly with the company they started called Kitchenaid. Buyer beware.

I have purchased this as a gift for my wife since she wanted a kitchen mixer. She uses it multiple times a week and I have heard only praises about it. One thing to remember is that the bowl and accessories shouldn't be put into dishwasher.

I have had a 4 quart Kitchen Aid mixer for years and have gotten great response from it. The only thing I have replaced is the beater which is covered in a rubbery plastic. It wore through and I had to get another one. I have the six quart mixer and liked it so much I ordered my sister-in-law one for Christmas as well. I don't think you can beat these mixers and you almost have to include them in your will they last so long.
 OK but not as good as you think. November 4, 2008

I wanted a Kitchen Aid for a long time and when I decided to buy one I wanted the best I could afford. Hubby got this for me as a gift. It was the prize of my kitchen and immediately went on display. I really enjoy using it, but the size makes it difficult to use when making small boxed mixes or if you need to beat eggs.
After having it about a year, the small plastic knob covering the speed lever became brittle and cracked, falling off. I contacted KA assuming I could buy a new one for a few cents and be done with it. Not only would they not sell me one, they advised me the entire machine would have to be disassembled and a new speed lever placed on the machine to fix it. In my opinion, they know this happens and are gouging their customers.
So just FYI even though this seems a nicer mixer than the others out there, it may not be. Oh and the customer service sucks.
Great Mixer-Great Price October 30, 2008

My wife has wanted a new KitchenAid mixer for some time and she recently bought an Artisan model as a bridal shower gift for our daughter. I soon realized I'd better get one for my wife too if I wanted to preserve my marital bliss. We shopped around and decided on the KP26M1XMR because it had a larger capacity, more powerful motor and all metal gears. I looked everywhere for the best price (even eBay) and found a great special deal on Amazon.com that was even less than the price on refurbished models and about the same price as the less powerful Artisan model. My wife loves the mixer and she can mix large batches quite easily. It is a heavy mixer but that's OK because she gets a good workout lifting it into and out of the kitchen cabinet.
