Customer Ratings & Reviews

I read some reviews and contemplated the artisan series because it is a little smaller and has the told top but when this one was on sale cheaper than the small one I went for it and could not be happier I have been making loaf after loaf of home made bread in this and it handles it no problem.

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.

Excellent power and smooth mixing! Does not splash out of bowl! Great for everything from cookie dough to mixing mashed potatoes! Would buy another should anything happen with this one!

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

Replaced my KitchenAid classic with this, and it’s quieter, faster, and more stable. Bowl mechanism works a lot better under a counter than the tilt head.

Quality build, looks like it will last a good long time. Easy to use, Many add on options and accessories, very versatile. Happy with the purchase.

One of the best additions to my kitchen ever. Makes life so much easier and the quality is great. Plus the attachments are game changing

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.

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.

I have wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer for a number of years now but it was something I never bought for myself. I had a birthday coming up and mentioned to my husband that this was something I would really like so he purchased it for me. I haven't made a lot with it yet but really enjoy the mixer and did bake a wonderful ginger cake which turned out perfectly. I have also made ice cream and used it for making cookies. Now that I have this it will hopefully encourage me to bake more regularly and once I buy some attachments I anticipate it will be an extremely well used appliance. The bonus is that it is also a lovely piece of equipment to have on display in the kitchen.

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

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)

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.

If you want to prepare cakes, there is not better choice to pick. You would easy understand how to use it (User manuals or better, Youtube).

Had been holding off purchasing this due to the price. Best Buy had an amazing deal for the holiday season that was too good to pass up. Would recommend

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.

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

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

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).
