First off, let me say this baby is HEAVY...at nearly 25 lbs. I don't move it around very much. It stays in its designated space on my counter, and I don't even TRY to store it. I'm disabled, and just don't have the physical strength to tackle that. However, its weight is one of the many advantages of the machine, when mixing heavier items such as bread and cookie doughs. It obviously saves me a lot of hand and arm fatigue; a hand-held mixer is out of the question for me. It has plenty of power, and easily mixes 2 loaves' worth of bread dough with minimal bogging. The only thing that I would improve upon is I would add a way to store the cord neatly; but that is a small thing compared to how much I rely on it to help me cook.
From whipped potatoes to buttercream icing, this mixer does all that I require of it, and probably much, much more...I hope to be able to buy some of the attachments for it soon. At about less than the Artisan series, don't pass it up thinking that the extra 25 watts of power is the only way to go.
Red KitchenAid Mixer - Valerie L. Schlagal - West Texas
I've waited what seems like a lifetime for a KitchenAid and it lives up to all my expectations. The seller was great - item was delivered as described - no hitches - very quick and easy transaction.
3rd time is a charm????? - M. Blazavich - Pennsylvania United States
I purchased this product new from Target in December 2007. By November 2008 the gears from levels 6 through 10 were gone. I did not subject it to heavy use, just your normal cake mixes, icings, mashed potatoes, etc... I engaged the warranty and Kitchen Aid sent me a new one. Just recently we realized AGAIN, the gears from 6 through 10 are gone. I called Kitchen Aid again to use the warranty and told them that this mixer kept losing the gears. After dealing with a rude customer service representative, I called back again. The new representative informed me that I could get the same mixer as a replacement free of charge or I could pay more and upgrade to a different mixer. I thought that was a good idea until I realized that even though they were advertising the new mixer I wanted at 0 I would still have to pay difference between what I originally paid and the MSRP. So instead of a better mixer for approximately which they have advertised on their website, I (because I am trying to be a loyal customer) am being punished and told I have to pay 5 more to get a better made machine. Talk about outstanding customer service. I thought this would be a similar machine and the company would be similar to the service and credibility that my Grandmother experienced when she purchased her mixer 70 years ago. However it is not the case with the new Kitchen Aid. I will definitely think twice before I purchase anything that is Kitchen Aid or Whirlpool!!!!!
What a work horse. - Kirstin Mason - Franklin, TN
I used this product so much over the Christmas holidays that I don't know what I
would have done without it. It is a work horse. Is consistently useful and does
exactly what it is supposed to. It is very heavy so if your lugging it around
that is bothersome. But I take that to a flimsy mixer any day. Easy to clean
up and really no down side that I have yet to find.
