Amazon.com Review
KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 250 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 4-1/2-quart bowl can hold up to 8 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. The bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing 14 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. To complete the package, KitchenAid includes a spiral-bound guide with instructions, mixing tips, and 67 recipes, from crispy waffles to a caramel walnut banana torte. --Betsy Danheim

 Best Mixer Ever December 29, 2008
I have had this mixer for over 30 years and it is still working as good as the first day I got it. I purchased 2 for my daughters.
 They don't make 'em like they used to December 29, 2008
We made the mistake of using the included dough hook to make bread. It didn't make it through the second batch, and while it still works it hasn't been the same since. It's leaked an oily substance ever since, and it's struggling to do some simple mixing jobs. The last time we had it out, the motor started to struggle while whipping egg whites for meringues. It's only 2-3 years old now, but I'll be surprised if we get 5 years use out of it.
 Prefect for Amateur Home Baker (otherwise, go bigger) December 8, 2008

This stand mixer, a real classic piece of kitchenware, is just perfect for the amateur home chef or baker. It is like having your own prep team there to whip egg whites into meringue, knead pizza dough for 30 minutes, or just keep stirring while you add a stream of hot butter. I was happy with this for years until my hobby became an obsession (and my light reading included confectionery text books).
My only complaint with this sturdy standby is that it is no longer large enough to deal with the yields I'm demanding. I also tend to store it in the pantry instead of on the counter for space. I did not buy any of the attachments either, so this is based solely on the item as is (stand, bowl, paddle, whisk and dough hook). They did not seem necessary, although I heard a rumor there was an option with one model for an ice-bath bowl. That would be VERY helpful. Other than that - she's a classic kitchen icon. A must have.
On a side note, white may not be as sleek and stylish as the chrome, but it is so much easier to keep clean.
Excellent product December 6, 2008
This KitchenAid is a treasure. Easy to use (and I never used one before)
and it worked perfectly. I made my first two cakes (in my whole life!) and
served them at Thanksgiving and got kudos all around.
Also the delivery was almost instantanous and I couldn't have been more
satisfied.
Amazing! December 4, 2008

Absolutely amazed by this mixer. It replaces about 6 different appliances that I would normally use and it's easy to clean! The only caveat that I have is that the attachments are SO expensive. Also if you do a lot of dough mixing or heavy duty stuff like that I would recommend buying the Artisan (a step up from this one). Another thing is that none of the attachments made by Kitchen Aid fully gets the stuff on the side of the bowls so occasionally you will have to shut it off...scrape the side and then continue on. Otherwise than that this is a great buy and I recommend it for everyday use.
