The GE Profile Smart Mixer with Auto Sense is an innovative, new take on the seemingly timeless kitchen mixer. I know one name comes to mind with kitchen mixers but GE has improved upon what is usually a fairly basic kitchen device. The Profile mixer features a large 7-qt capacity bowl, an integrated wrap around bowl lift, built in scale, 3 included quick release mixing attachments, and an accessory port for third party attachments. The first thing to note with this mixer is the size. At 17” high, 14” deep, 11” wide, and a hefty 44 lbs, it will likely need a semi permanent spot in your home. Though the size may be expected for a mixer of this capacity, unfortunately our upper cabinetry in our current home limits placement and it is something to keep in mind before purchasing. Once you setup the device and connect it to the GE SmartHQ app, you can then utilize some of the smart functionality such as Auto Sense. With the provided guided recipes or Auto Sense techniques you can send mixing instructions to the mixer to not only set the speed and duration but it will use feedback from the motor to determine the proper texture and viscosity, impressive! Currently you are limited to the recipes and techniques in the app to utilize this but GE claims to expand on this overtime. Making your own way is still possible and yielded great results as we did with our pumpkin bars or my wife’s chocolate banana bread, a family favorite. The mixer can even weigh ingredients in the mixing bowl as you go or other vessels by placing them on the base. The mixer also has a built-in timer functionality that is thankfully not tied to the app for ease of use out of the box. Though the quick release mixing attachments were a breeze to use, this interface is currently limited to the included beater, hook, and whisk. GE claims they are commercial grade and dishwasher safe, which they are well made and should last the life of the mixer. Though I like the features and functionality of the Profile Smart mixer, I do wish GE offered a slightly smaller model as we tend to not need the large 7-qt capacity. With kitchen mixers, one brand has become ubiquitous to most homes but the GE Profile Smart Mixer stands out with its new intelligent integrations and also practical innovations making it a great choice.

This mixer is awesome. Replaced a 8ye KA classic for my wife. The power and bowl size are fantastic. Yes it's big and heavy, but you should expect it to be what it is. Scale is a great feature too.

I have owned a KitchenAid stand mixer for close to 30 years. That was the gold standard mixer at the time. Some would argue it still is. Yet, time and technology marches on. The GE Profile Mixer could be the new gold standard. It certainly is the most advanced stand mixer that I’ve ever seen. One minor gripe out of the way – could this have been released in more colors? One of the things that people love about KitchenAid mixers are the amount of amazing colors they come in. Carbon (black), white, and silver just aren’t my jam. My old mixer is biscuit (cream) colored because that is what I liked then. For this review, I received the Carbon version. When you buy your mixer, no matter if you have it delivered or brought home from the store, I would recommend you having help getting it into the house. The mixer is HEAVY. Plus, the box is extra fortified and is heavy by itself. I want to commend GE for packing it so well. I didn’t have help, so I had to gently turn it end-over-end because it was too much for me to lift, and I couldn’t push it across the floor to where I could unload it. You can unbox the appliance by yourself, but slowly. It’s a lot to carry. I recommend putting it where it’s going to live and leave it there. To set up the Smart features, you will need to download the SmartIQ app from your preferred app store. If you already have Smart GE Profile appliances, you probably already have it. Do you need it to operate the machine? No, but you aren’t getting everything you paid for, either, if you don’t use it. Setting up on the app was easy. You hit the “add appliance” icon in the upper right corner and follow the instructions. The number of features it has are mind blowing. It has a built-in scale, so no need to go out and get a scale to measure ingredients. It actually senses when the mixture is the correct texture and viscosity, so no more overmixing. The app has recipes that will walk you through how to make them step-by-step. The top of the mixer has a LED light that will “count down” the mixing time so that you can see when it gets close to being done, even from across the room. This is stuff that I would have NEVER thought of putting in/on a mixer. It even works with Alexa (or Google Home, if you have that ecosystem). I already had the SmartIQ skill, and the mixer automatically synced with it.

Awesome mixer.its heavy and tall. But it has been great at every task ive tried with it. Its awkward getting the attachments on and off

I would like to give this a good review but the Bluetooth was not working. This was a gift for my daughter and she really like all the Features this mixer had to offer but when she try to hook up the Bluetooth it would not hook up. She called GE and they try to help her but told her just to return it to Best Buy , which she did and they order hef a new one. Hopefully with this new one everything will work andvwe can give a good review. By the way it is heavy so don't expect to be moving it to different areas much.
