 Quick burn out November 22, 2007

I used it for the second time today. The motor started putting off blue flame and then burnt out. I was putting on final touch on some already mashed potatoes, nothing difficult. Not what I expected from Kitchen Aid.

We're great fans of KitchenAid appliances and also own a stand mixer and food processor from KitchenAid. We've owned this mixer for at least 5 years. The mixer is nicely designed, with a simple shape that is easy to clean and will not yellow with age. We use the mixer most often for beating egg whites and whipping cream. The mixer is very fast at these tasks because of the design of the beaters and the speed of the motor. It feels very solid in your hand, and does not rattle and shimmy like other mixers. It is a bit heavy, but that is probably part of the reason it feels so smooth when it operates. We have used this mixer for cake batters, but not for heavier jobs like cookie dough (we use the stand mixer for that). If you are looking for something that can replace a stand mixer, you should probably pay a little more and get the 9-speed model. Our mixer broke when we put it into a bowl that was too narrow at the bottom. The beaters got pushed together and the mechanism that keeps one of them in place broke. It is not obvious how to fix it and, at this price, a factory repair would probably cost more than a new mixer. That is the reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Never-the-less, we don't think we can do better than a KitchenAid, though we will probably step up to the 5-speed model to replace the one that broke.
 No mechanical problems, but there's just no oomph! February 5, 2006

We got this mixer for our wedding almost five years ago, and never had a day's trouble with it. So why the low review? The thing just doesn't have the juice I think it should have. Whenever we had family members or friends happen to use the mixer, we're making cookies or whipping potatoes, every person commented on how slow this mixer is, even on the highest speed. I thought they were kidding until I was home this Christmas and used my mother's. I don't remember the brand, it was kind of forgettable like a sunbeam or oster, but man, did that thing churn on the high speeds! Every time I turn mine on now, even on the high speed, I am just frustrated because it doesn't perform like it should for the price kitchenaid wants. I give it two stars because it's always performed the tasks at hand, eventually, and we've never had any mechanical issues. But only two stars because when I start using other's mixers, at friends' and family's homes, I'm extremely disappointed in the strength this little machine doesn't have. It's not even a close competition, and I'm investigating other brands after hearing even the kitchenaid 9-speed mixer houses the same motor as this one.
 good for cookies, not for egg whites or cream November 10, 2005

I have had this mixer for several years, and it works really wonderfully for cookies and most other needs. Doesn't burn the motor out, or even heat up. Very easy to get the dough off the beaters.
But I can't get it to really whip egg whites or whipped cream. They will eventually start to look right, but stay a bit on the runny side. I think the thin blades on the beaters just don't get enough air into the mixture.
I'm thinking about just getting a cheap hand mixer with thicker blades just for cream and egg whites.
I wish this mixer came with a whisk attachment or something -- then it would be perfect.

Great mixer and well worth the money. I have had this for over two years and wouldn't think about buying anything else if the need arises.
