Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ease of use, quality, and power of the Professional 5 Plus Series 5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer. Many appreciate the larger bowl size and the inclusion of extra attachments. However, some customers find the mixer to be quite loud and heavy. The mixer's color is also frequently praised.

    First time using and the switch isn't operating correctly(wouldn't turn on). Have to turn the speed switch back to the off position then on again in order for it to turn on and start mixing. I thought maybe it was a fluke the first time it happened but this happened multiple times while making 1 batch of cookies (when I turned it off to scrape down the sides of the bowl). I will be returning. Very frustrating. Once replaced, I will update my review.

    Nice mixer. But not easy to scrap the bottom of the bowl, since the hooks doesn’t touch the bottom of it. Also I don’t like the fact that you can’t lift the “head”.

    Whisk was damaged. Exchanged for an Artisan because, of course, you can't buy just the whisk. Artisan had dings in the bowl and tilt lock wouldn't hold. Assembled in USA, parts likely made in China. As the value of the dollar decreases compromises in quality will be made. It is inevitable. Educate yourself, save your money, buy the best made stuff you can afford. I don't think this is the best value for the money.

    I ordered it three months ago and it still hasn't arrived. I have three months left of deferred-interest payments. It is messing with deferred interest payments of other items I've purchased and we can't even use it.

    I've always wanted one of these and i bake a lot...i was very disappointed when i tried it out and food splattered out of the bowl even on speed 1 or 2 and it didn't seem to mix well...i constantly had to scrape the outer sides of the bowl...my whole thought to have one was to be able to add ingredients while moving at a slow speed, but that did not happen without a mess... i returned it to the store and will continue to use my hand mixer (like i have for 30 years)

    I bought this for my wife for Christmas, and after a few uses the gears are making a loud clicking noise. I am going to exchange it for a new one and hope the issue does not happen again.

    The bowl lift broke the SECOND time I used it. Bought brand new during BF, heard a big "KLUNK" and the bowl comes crashing down. Picked the stand up and this 1/4 metal bar with a spring drops to the bottom. Nearly impossible to get any KA rep on the phone or online.

    Most mixers have a latch to move backwards when removing the mixing bowl, but this model stays stationary.

    I was so excited to finally own a one of these mixers but all that excitement went right out the door when I opened the box. The dough hook is missing! I am waiting for the store/customer service to open to see about getting what was paid for. I am disappointed but hoping for the best. I will update after I actually get to use the mixer.

    Ordered online for pickup and when I got there I was given a different model and color thec lady at the register was wondering why it wouldn't scan . When she investigated it she said they over sold the other ones yet the person picking the item decided it was ok to try and give me the cheaper model anyways. Nice when a store try to bold face rip you off. Won't buy from them again.

    Took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it didn't work - defective. KItchen Aid is sending us a replacement, but it's back ordered, so who knows when we will get it. Very disappointing, because this was a gift. We have had a similar Kitchen Aid mixer for 4 years and it works great.
