Love it!! Makes everything easy and I've taught my grown children how to make bread and home made pasta. They are very excited and have made their own... (Not to mention Cheesecakes) I own one and have bought two more as gifts for them.

I have had a few KitchenAid stand mixers over the past 20 years. I bake bread, 2 loaves twice a week, so I am a bit hard on these machines. Currently I am waiting for my 7 qt Proline (with the DC motor) to be repaired, as it had an unhappy gear moment after about 4 years of use. However, I needed a machine in the interim (and as a backup), so I purchased this one. The good news? It's a MUCH better machine than the earlier "Pro 600" 6 qt ones from about 15 years ago. Those were very noisy, and those motors failed a lot. This one is CONSIDERABLY quieter, and runs cool, which is a very big improvement. The not so great news? I would NOT knead two loaves (8 cups) of flour at one time in this mixer; I think it would be pushing it at 6 cups, to be honest. So I am mixing two batches of 4 cups each when I make my bread with it. It handles that amount with no problem at all. And, the knead is quite good, with excellent results, doing it that way. The only other disappointment is that the supplied bowl is very thin steel, with a flat and uncomfortable handle, and there is no knob on the lift lever. However I got it on sale for a huge discount, so I can't really complain about missing those extras...And I have a bowl left over from my old mixer that fits just fine, so I am using that one instead. I have not used the other mixing/beating attachments, nor any of the other accessories, so I can't tell you how those do, yet. I think this is a very good value when it's on sale, as long as you are careful to work within its limitations. I'd hesitate if it was at full price, though.

Efficient and productive, wife says it works leaps and bounds better than her old mixer. Happy wife, happy life!

Wife loves it. Comes in handy during the holidays when she makes hundreds of cookies.

high quality, the KitchenAid is a great option in a nutshell. Best Buy is the Better

I could go on and on about how great this item is, I love the kitchen aid products so much! However, this one is my favorite! I use it almost daily it’s so user friendly

Perfect item for my remodeled kitchen! Team member was very helpful helping me apply my points.

Steady, elegant, efficient device. Can do anything that any novice or expert cook can think of

This mixer has the same 500 watt motor as the much more expensive 7 quart mixer, so it can churn through heavy dough and batter with ease. The only downside I've encountered is that, while it can use all the usual front-mount KitchenAid attachments, there's a slightly limited number of accessories made to fit this mixer (e.g., no glass mixing bowl). If you're set on a particular feature or accessory, check carefully to make sure it's available.

Great item thank u so much best buy is the best my fav store

Does a great job. Love all the attachments that come with it. I am happy I got it on sale. Love this choice for a mixer.
