Customer Ratings & Reviews

This works perfect for those who enjoy working in the kitchen. It is easy to use and has a wide variety of attachments that you can get for it.

Great mixer for our cookie projects, works as expected. Loud when mixing for long periods of time but no power issues like other mixers

Although advertised as 450 watts, it was 525 watts (even better) though not mentioned, bowl being much wider than our older model of the same volume, old bowl-related attachments were not transferable (a point which should have been mentioned in the description). bowl rim shield was not included, but it is essential. Separately-ordered shield did not fit (take care to specifically order the one for this particular model). Actually quieter than older model (and doesn't "thump" like the older one), but precision gears and bearings would go a long way toward allowing listening to a CD while using the unit (too much to ask at this price point).

I love this mixer. Started making homemade bread and my recipe makes six good size loaves and the mixer mixes like a dream. Easy to use and clean

This is a high quality seemingly indestructible machine. Easy to use and classic design. I was surprised to find at Best Buy and for the best value in town.

Great product, heavier than I expected. Mixes well, I make an apple cake with vet little liquid so I’ve burned out a few mixers. No problem for this one

I’ve made homemade bread and dinner rolls so far. Mixing the thick bread dough was easy using this mixer. It is a little on the loud side but after researching online, that is to be expected. Can’t wait to make a bunch of cookie doughs for Christmas.

5 quart capacity makes it easy to make bread for my family of 7. Works great for cookie dough, or even to mix meat for meat loaf. Whisk wished perfectly for being egg whites. Beautiful color.

Works great so far, it saves us a lot of tine and effort, especially for baking. The additional attachments are a little pricey, but they worth the money.

I got the Kitchenaid Professional 5 plus mixer from the black Friday sale. It is a great mixer. I have used it several times for bread making and it does not slow down or get hot at all while kneading the bread dough. It does have a gear noise but not that loud. I like that it has the metal gearset in it for durability. While the plastic gears are quieter the metal gears are much more durable. This is a well made mixer. I would definitely buy again.

I’ve waited 11 years to get a stand mixer! I had a hard time justifying the price, but my hand mixer started struggling when I was making a cheesecake for Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t pass up the Black Friday deal. This mixer is definitely worth it! Easy setup and consistent performance.

I got this with the primary intent of kneading bread dough in this as opposed to baking desserts. I had the mindset of spending less on a device that could do multiple roles at an okay to good job as opposed to buying dedicated appliances. With that in mind, as far as kneading dough goes, would depend heavily on your bread making skills, but it should be noted that after a few minutes of kneading you would need to stop to rotate/scrap the bottom of the bowl out to effective knead the dough in its entirety. As a desert making machine, this thing is tops and I am typically more content with this device mixing desserts than making bread. I have not bought the additional attachments to test out other features such as the meat grinder or pasta maker. The mixer is also LOUD and I have my suspicions on the quality of the mechanisms inside the mixer itself.

this product is wonderful. strong, elegant and multi-functional. this model is super powerful and resistant. I recommend it.

My wife loves it. Got it for her for Xmas. She's been making delicious cupcakes and stuff. Looks killer in the kitchen too.

This is money well spent. A quality mixer that will take care of any home baking needs.

The best stand mixer. Easy to use and very high quality. Make lots of different foods with this mixer. Pizza. Looks good too.

So far - so great! very happy with the decision, so much so, I got another for my son's b-day present. It's my first stand mixer and it changed my kitchen life. I haven't made bread or heavy mixtures yet, but have made cookies and cakes. Also used the attachment for peeling and coring apples. It did a super great job. It is very smooth, steady, sturdy and s3xy. :) (This purchase date is for my second acquisition of this same exact mixer)

My purchase was to upgrade my existing mixer very happy with the purchase but need to invest in a new bowl because my old one does not fit the new mixer.

I had a little trouble in the beginning because the attachment wasn't reaching the bottom of the bowl. I didn't realize I needed to adjust the height. I watched a video and it was easy to fix the problem. I wish I had gotten the tilt model because taking the bowl and attachment off to add ingredients is a pain.

Have used it a couple times and it works very well. Only thing I have found to be sort of a pain is that I have to drop the bowl down every time I need to scrape the bowl(just use a lever to drop the bowl) I didn’t pay attention to the fact that the bowl has a little bump in the center and I didn’t scrape it well and my cookies came out funny. I found out that a lot of sugar was in the last couple scoops at the bottom because it didn’t mix well. So basically you just have to be sure you scrape that bottom portion well.
