    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 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!

    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! Need to mix some dough, BAM! We got it! Need to make some cookies without killing your old hand mixer, BAM! We got it! Need to make some homemade brats, BAM! We got it! This thing is a BEAST & if you were looking to invest into a standmixer this bad boy is for you! It’s quite LITERALLY my favorite kitchen tool so far. Now catch me making bread over here for the 20th time since receiving this lovely kitchen tool from the gods!

    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

    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!

    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!!

    The bowl-lift mixer was an excellent value when we decided to upgrade from our old mixer. The size fit well in our builder grade kitchen (this is probably a big factor for those upgrading from artisan or classic like we did). The stronger motor will make it easier to mix tamale masa (dough). Best Buy even had the right color and the drive-up service was smooth.

    Great mixer. Previously I had the KitchenAid Artisan model. I was making a batch of Brioche and it start smoking. I turned if off and noticed it was also leaking grease. KitchenAid states not to go past speed 2 when using the dough hook and I was at speed 2 when this happened. If you work with heavier dough, this bowl lift mixer is the mixer for you. With the dough hook at speed 2 on this model, it easily mixes heavy dough effortlessly. I also really like the size of the bowl, it's not a huge bowl that would make it difficult to whip a bit of cream or some egg whites. Also, you can buy a larger bowl if needed. Also, this model is heavier (than a head tilt model) so it doesn't "walk" on the counter when mixing heavier doughs.

    Absolutely Worth It! This stand mixer has completely upgraded my kitchen experience! It’s powerful and stable, even with heavy doughs — no shaking or moving around. The mixing speeds are perfect and it blends ingredients evenly every time. The bowl is spacious enough for large batches, and surprisingly, the machine is quieter than most mixers I’ve tried. I’ve used it for pizza dough, cookies, and even cakes — and everything comes out perfect. Super easy to clean too. Definitely one of my best purchases!
