I always wanted a mixer like this one. The price was right and it is more than I expected I would recommend this mixer. I enjoy it every time I use it

I didn't expect this mixer to be so functional. Affordable price, easy to use, good design. Take it and enjoy - that's what I do :)

The title says it all. Sturdy and durable, this mixer has everything I need and then some. Upon opening, the first thing I notice is the build. From the bowl, to the lid and all the attachments, everything is quality. In comparison to other mixers I have used, this feels up-to-par for a fraction of the usual cost. Setup was straightforward and within minutes we were mixing up a batch of "dirt pudding" for Earth Day. Consistency of ingredients were smooth and even with no issues on speed variance. I've whipped eggs and cream. Perfect. My favorite thus far has been mashed sweet potatoes. Once again, perfect consistency. All pieces are easy to clean, and with the easy open hinge, dismantling and storing is a non issue. I haven't been able to try an extra attachments, but I appreciate that GE took the steps to make the attachment slot universal. Being able to use other brand's fun attachments is a great added feature. Great power with a good variation of speeds and attachments would definitely have me recommending it to others. This is a quality machine.

The GE stand mixer is a granite gray color with chrome accents. It is model number G8MSAAS1RSH. It comes well packaged with the following: mixer, dough hook, whisk, beater, stainless steel bowl, pouring shield, user manual and warranty registration information (see picture). I recommend reading the manual before you operate the mixer. I found the mixing chart; and, care and cleaning sections most helpful. It is a smart looking unit being gray with chrome accents. It is solidly built with a max of 350 watts. I wanted to do a good test of the mixer. I have a recipe for whipped shortbread that is tough on mixers. You start by whipping butter (see pictures). Blend ingredients and then mix on high for about 13 – 15 minutes. One challenge I have with this recipe is the batter climbing the sides of the bowl. This bowl performed well and I did not have as much of an issue as with my other mixer. The mixer shuts off after 10 minutes as a safety measure. You just turn the dial to 0 and then to the desired speed to get mixing again. The mixer was warm but not as warm as my previous mixer. The 350 watts make it operate smoothly. The following are some features worth noting: - The GE mixer is 350 watts compared to my other mixer at 275 watts. - The bowl has a handle. My previous one did not. - A pouring shield is provided. My other mixer does not have one. - The bowl is 5.3 quarts. This is larger than my previous bowl (see picture). - GE products are always top quality in my experience. I have a number of GE products and they have served me well. - At the time of writing this review, the mixer was $199. This is a good deal compared to other mixers. - The GE mixer has 7 speeds using a dial on the base section. My other mixer has 10 speeds using a lever on the top section. I personally like the dial more. - The arm lock lever works well. It locks in both the down and up position. - The GE mixer is 4 pounds lighter than my other mixer. - 10 minute safety shut off. You turn the dial to 0 and keep going if you need to (I did). It is a safety measure to prolong the life of the unit. In conclusion, I really like this mixer and I recommend it. Especially at $199 you cannot go wrong. I rate this GE mixer 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a really nice stand mixer with the basics of exactly what I needed for being a weekend home baker. It's really nice to look at with its granite gray and stainless steel look. This mixer mixes the ingredients really well and also helps to make my baking process easier. Included with this stand mixer are a 5.3 Quart Bowl which is made from stainless steel and seems to hold quite a bit of ingredients. Easy to attach and lock in components such as the wire whisk, coated flat beater, coated dough hook, and the bowl with handle locks into the base to stay secure. There are 7 speed settings so you can easily find your desired mixing setting for whatever mixing adventure you're preparing. I felt the ease of use and operating this mixer was easy to do and convenient. This is my first stand mixer and the tilting head design that locks into place is convenient to allow for easily adding ingredients and pulling the bowl in/out. The motor on this appliance is a 350 watt motor that seemed to do a great job on making some cookie mix, brownie mix, and cake mix so far. Also to ensure complete mixing of all the ingredients the GE mixer has a 59 point mixing cycle which encircles the bowl thoroughly and completely to mix up all the ingredients into your bowl properly. Added bonus for me was the peace of mind I have when the mixer is moving pretty fast, that there is an included bowl splash guard to help keep the mixture of the ingredients within the bowl and less on my counter and walls. I really like the classy looks and it makes the kitchen counter look fancier in our home. Home bakers like myself will enjoy this as I have been whipping up some bakery treats with my child for after school snack time. PRO: Great style and looks Powerful motor Easy to operate

Great mixer at an incredible price. I love the color too. My daughter and I are bonding over baking with it weekly!

So far I am loving my mixer. It came at a good time. Just in time for the holiday.

Great product. As good as or better than KitchenAid with a much lower price!

This is a very nice alternative to other high end mixers. Very well built with all metal outside construction. This mixer has a very professional feel without the price and will except other attachments like meat grinders and pasta rollers. One thing my wife and I notice was a funny electrical smell the first two time we used it, hopefully this was a "break in" normality and will go away. Very happy so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for kneading dough. The dough attachment is a game changer. It was nice to set the stand mixer on low and let it do all the work. The beater attachment didn’t get the sides as close as I would like but mixed well. The whip attachment whipped up egg whites good.
