 Best mixer. Period. Mar 18, 2009
By Cas
I bought this mixer because Cook's Illustrated recommended it. I can see, after 3 months, that CI was spot-on. It is a substantial-sized kitchen tool, and I've used it at least once a week since getting it. Primarily I bought this for bread mixing, and it clomps along even on the firmest dough (though it does "hop" a bit on firm doughs). The powerful engine can handle anything I throw at it. It also does a fabulous job on whipped cream -- far better-textured than a hand-mixer could make. I've used it to make cakes and cream-cheese dips, frostings and herb butters, and there just doesn't seem to be much this mixer can't do to perfection. It's not a food processor, so don't expect it to chop and dice or to cut butter into biscuit dough, but it fulfills its function perfectly. It's heavy-duty and substantial, and so easy to hand-wash I haven't bothered putting its components through the dishwasher. 100% recommend.

My Workhorse Stand Mixer Apr 26, 2011
By Pipigurl
My mother-in-law gave me this mixer for Christmas 2010. I was originally planning on getting the KitchenAid KSM150PSOB Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Onyx Black because of its higher motor capacity. But I got this as a gift so I'm not complaining! I have used it for making cakes, muffins, brownies, bread and pizza dough... you name it. This mixer has performed so wonderfully! I turn it off every now and then, though, and push the dough down with a spatula just so the motor could rest for a few seconds. It's like a vacuum cleaner that when left on for several minutes straight, the motor would wear out quick. I have also made scones and even pie crust with the paddle attachment and boy was it fast! I'd turn my back a few seconds to clean up the counter and when I come back to look the dough's all done! This mixer brought back my old love for baking. I used to bake all the time in high school but when I went to college I had no time for it and when I started working I even had less time. But this mixer makes everything so much easier and faster, and clean up is a breeze! All that's needed to be washed is a bowl and beater attachment. The depth of the bowl also prevents the surrounding area from getting dirty so there's nothing much to clean up really. This is my most valuable kitchen gadget and I'm taking good care of it. I hope it will last me several years, if not forever. I plan on getting the ice cream maker attachment next! Love love Kitchenaid! I hope they don't ever outsource.
UPDATE: 02/2012: I have started making bread once a week on a regular basis and my stand mixer performs beautifully each time. I have made buttermilk white loaf, ciabatta, sourdough, baguette, pizza dough, cinnamon rolls and even burger buns. I use the beater attachment for mixing the wet and dry ingredients and then switch to the dough hook for kneading. Bread-making is so much easier now.

 leaking seal Oct 18, 2010
By Alan
I have had this mixer for 5 vyears and use it occasionaly. The seal on the mixer shaft leaks oil into the bowl. KitchenAid says this is normal and one should use the mixer at least once a week to stop the leakage. This is a poor solution to the problem! This seal on the shaft needs a redesign. Be aware of this problem. This is a common problem. Check the internet to find other comments.

 Great except for daily bread dough kneading Mar 27, 2011
By C. Richelle Young
"Rici"
I love this mixer. I've had it for over two years, and I love how fast it whips cream, how thoroughly and quickly it mixes cookie dough, and I love how smooth and elastic bread dough turns out with this appliance. Be warned though, if you bake bread daily like I do, it will wear out the gaskets in about six weeks. I've had it repaired twice now due to this problem. I love the mixer, and I love homemade bread, so I think I just need one with a more powerful motor. I would recommend this mixer to a friend (and have!)

The best mixer around! Apr 06, 2011
By Evan Galatz
Last year my wife and I got this mixer as a wedding gift and it changed our lives. Its amazing how much easier it makes the cooking expierence, even compared to a hand mixer. There are many cheaper mixers on the market, but they are very light weight and flimsy. I have not seen around company put a mixer on the market close to the quality of this.
They do make bigger sizes, but how often do you really need to make more than this? Its just not worth it in my opinion. On Amazon its another $70 for only an extra 1/2 qt of bowl space. No thank you.
We love this mixer so much, we recently picked up a second one to keep at our vacation house. I shopped around a lot and its amazing how much cheaper Amazon sells this for. Only $190 on amazon, but Bloomingdales had the same one for $300.
