Customer Ratings & Reviews

The KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer in Ink Blue is hands down one of the best investments I’ve made for my kitchen. First off, the color is stunning—a rich, deep ink blue that adds a bold, modern touch to my countertop. It’s not just a mixer; it’s a statement piece. Performance-wise, this machine is a powerhouse. The bowl-lift design gives it incredible stability, especially when mixing heavier doughs like bread or pizza. The 5.5-quart capacity is perfect for both everyday baking and larger batches during the holidays. It handled double batches of cookie dough without breaking a sweat. What I really appreciate is how quiet and smooth it runs, even at higher speeds. The attachments are easy to switch out, and cleanup is straightforward. I also love the versatility—there’s a wide range of additional attachments you can get to turn this into a pasta maker, food grinder, and more. If you're serious about baking or just want to level up your kitchen game, this mixer is worth every penny. Stylish, sturdy, and reliable—it’s everything I hoped it would be. Highly recommend!

This absolutely raised our cookie game. My daughter went from a non-cook to a cottage baker in less than a year. The lift mixer takes up less room on the counter because the lid does not tilt back. It is powerful, efficient and a true daily use appliance. The color is beautiful It is easy to clean and it does not show spots. Overall, the best gift that I have probably ever given to my daughter. No regrets. This was a great buy!!

The KitchenAid Mixer is a total game-changer in the kitchen. It makes baking so much easier and more efficient — from whipping egg whites to kneading dough, it handles everything effortlessly. The powerful motor and sturdy design give perfect, consistent results every time. If you love to bake, this mixer is a must-have!

Very powerful, it hasn't had a problem with anything I've made in it, even making bread was easy for it to handle. The half speed setting is AMAZING for mixing ingredients slowly so nothing spills, it's very heavy and high quality, the bowl is very big and it makes it easy to make large batches of things. Highly recremend this kitchen aid if you make a lot of different food or bake, it makes everything way more fun and easier

I would be the proud owner of a kitchenaid mixer. Who woulda thunk it? It is literally one of the best purchases I have made in my adult life. Need to shred some chicken, BAM! We got it!

Now catch me making bread over here for the 20th time since receiving this lovely kitchen tool from the gods!

Beautiful gift! Sleek and elegant design compliments my kitchen. The wonderful mixer came with 3 attachments. So far it’s mixed chicken for enchiladas and made I’ve made brownies with ease! Looking forward to adding the pasta attachments. Such an elegant piece of kitchen equipment.

Love this mixer! The Empire Red is adds a nice cool factor to my already beautiful kitchen. It is BIG, so make sure you have counter space and high cabinets it can tuck in or under. It’s literally inspired me to craft homemade breads, cookies, and brownies. Just used it to whip up a homemade cheese ball for a holiday gathering. I’ve wanted one for a long time and I got this culinary delight on sale. No regrets! Thanks Best Buy!

Excellent mixer - don't go with an imitation - you'll miss out on the high-quality that a KitchenAid offers. This 5.5 Bowl-Lift with a dough hook easily handled a double-loaf batch of bread. I will say that the flat beater blade chipped on the first use (making a batch of cookies), and you can't return just the damaged part under the returns option, so I may check on the warranty to see if they will replace it. However, I hear from friends that the covered blade that comes with the mixer chipped for them as well, so that's a bit of a design flaw. I am purchasing separately a stainless-steel flat beater blade to replace it so that chipping won't be an option. Otherwise, I am very pleased. Advice: go ahead and get the KitchenAid, but plan to purchase the stainless beater blade.

I’m absolutely delighted with my KitchenAid 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer in Empire Red! This mixer has been a game-changer in my kitchen, handling everything from light, airy meringues to dense bread dough with ease. The powerful motor makes mixing a breeze, and the bowl-lift design adds stability for heavy-duty recipes. The Empire Red color is stunning and adds a vibrant touch to my kitchen decor. It’s clear that this mixer is built to last and crafted for serious home bakers. Worth every penny for the quality, performance, and style it brings!

I recently gifted the KitchenAid Mixer to my wife on our anniversary, and it has become an absolute game-changer in our kitchen. This mixer is not only a stylish addition with its sleek design but also a powerful workhorse that effortlessly handles various mixing tasks. My wife is in love with its versatility, making our cooking and baking experiences more enjoyable. Moreover, it's a significant upgrade from our previous mixer. The improved functionality and powerful performance of the KitchenAid Mixer have truly elevated our culinary adventures. This appliance doesn't just mix; it transforms the way we approach recipes, making it an indispensable tool in our daily cooking routine. Highly recommended for those seeking both style and substance in a kitchen appliance.

I love the mixer, its the best I’ve gotten so far and I like the design and the weight is just perfect

I have wanted a Kitchenaid stand mixer for so so long, but I couldn’t bring myself to pay full price for it. When I saw the sale at Best Buy, I decided now is the time! So, happy birthday to me :-) I am super excited that I finally have one and have been enjoying it how wonderful it is. I don’t like a lot of clutter on my countertops and countertop space is at a premium, so I was not going to leave it on the counter. Even though I did the read the reviews and read how heavy it was, I thought that I could still manage to pull it out of my cabinet every time I wanted to use it. Ultimately I decided to leave it out because it is rather heavy and lifting it out of the cabinet every time I wanted to use it was not very practical. I think the weight of it speaks to its quality that it is definitely well made and sturdy. But why not display the top-of-the-line mixer that it is on my counter for my enjoyment?

This is a great mixer! I've been using it for 2 years now. I love it, it's a lot of help in the kitchen. I got a good deal for Black Friday

Purchased as a gift for our son. The lift handle was loose inside and would not lift the bowl. A return wasn’t really possible since it got sent out of state. Luckily he is mechanically blessed and repaired it himself. Machine now worts perfect and being enjoyed. Not the first Kitchen Aid mixer purchased. They are great machines. This one just slipped past quality control.

Wow, what a game changer. This was a gift for Christmas and I knew I wanted a Kitchen Aid Mixer but didn’t realize this was this was just the right one! It sites perfectly under the counter and the bowl adjusts up and down to remove it! So the mixer always sits out to see!! The red is also just a rich color that it’s stands out among the other appliances and decor. It has several attachments and perfect for our large family! We are specifically buying a handful of the attachments so we can learn how to make our own pasta and what not! Excited to each the kids and finally have the legendary Kitchen Aid sitting on my counter tops!!

Great mixer. Very solid and easy to use. I would highly recommend it

This is such a great mixer that loves up to its reputation. My daughter wanted one for years and i got it when i saw it on sale. She was thrilled! Sturdy, consistent power (tork?), looks good!

Great quality mixer. I love baking bread, this is the best purchase for the kitchen. Powerful, easy to use, easy to clean. This is exactly what I needed. I love it.

Best Buy was running a special at the right time for this mixer. I was looking to upgrade from a smaller kitchenAid Mixer, and this made the most sense. I have made thousands of cookies using this mixer, and it works just as well as it has done sense day one! The only issue is that it shakes when at a high speed.
