Customers are saying

Customers commend the 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer for its ease of use, powerful performance, and impressive bowl size, frequently highlighting its ability to handle large batches. While some find the mixer heavy, the positive feedback on its performance and ease of use outweighs this concern for many users. The variety of colors is also a plus for many buyers. A few users noted concerns about motor durability and mixing quality in certain applications.

    Returned for tilt head

    Obviously high quality mixer, but the bowl isn’t the easiest to secure and you have to remove it each time you want to access the contents of the bowl, which makes it a lot less easy to you than the tilt head.

    Less than two months after receiving the mixer (maybe about 5. uses), the lift mechanism stopped working. A quick Google search shows this is a common issue. I am outside the return window for BestBuy and now will have to go through the KitchenAid warranty. Very frustrating for the price of this mixer.

    I would give a 0 star if possible. Ordered a Kitchenaid mixer for our daughter-in-law as a house warming gift. The local store did not have the color she wanted so we had to order online. Recived the item mid July and she chose not to open until they moved in to their new place the first week of August. Upon opening the box the item was not new it was used. The mixer had icing on it, the paddle attachment was peeling and the arm that holds the bowl was bent. Took the mixer to the local Bestbuy in Avon, IN they refused to exchange it due to it being outside their 14 day return window. This is completely unacceptable and if it is not taken care of we will no longer do business with Bestbuy.

    Purchased in December 2023, mixer stopped working at all last month (1 1/2 years after purchase). KitchenAid has a 1 year warranty on this so I guess I'm out of luck. Do not purchase, do not recommend.

    Had the mixer for 6 weeks and it decided not to work anymore. The lift handle no longer lifts. When I tilted the mixer to get the model number underneath, a bolt dropped out and hit my countertop. Can't believe this. Only used it three times!!! Seems like shoddy manufacturing going on here. No I need to deal with their service center. Should be fub

    This is my second KitchenAid mixer in 2 years. My last one had a bearing burn out shortly after a year and this one I've had a month and it has a loud annoying banging sound. It seems to be caused by the bowl "lifter" not being tight enough but not positive. For this kind of money I expect better.

    I see nothing but good reviews. I bought this yesterday, picked it up today and tried to make the dough. The hook worked for a couple of minutes and then it would no longer move. I was able to salvage the dough and knead it myself. The bread did turn out okay. I am going to take this back, but I am very reluctant to get another one.
