If you do a lot of cooking or baking, an extra bowl will sure come in handy. But save yourself the headache and double-check your model number before ordering, since different models have different shaped bowls or mounting brackets. Here's the information I received directly from KitchenAid customer support:

- this bowl #K5ASBP, is for 5 quart "Classic" mixers and fits models K5, KSM5, K5SS, and KP50PS
- bowl #KN25PBH fits models that start with KG (KitchenAid 5 Quart Polished Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl)
- bowl #KN25NSF fits models that start with KM (KitchenAid KN25NSF 5-Quart Stainless-Steel Commercial Mixing Bowl with Handle)
- bowl #KN15PBEH only fits the discontinued "Accolade" mixers that start with KN15E1X. (KitchenAid KN15PBEH 5-Qt Polished Bowl with Ergonomic Handle for Accolade 400 mixers)
- The service person said that bowl #KN25WPBH (KitchenAid 5qt Polished Stainless Steel Mixer Bowl with Flat Handle) is "incorrectly listed" on the KitchenAid website as a 5-quart bowl and that it is actually a 6-quart bowl for 6-quart mixers. I found a LOT of discrepancy regarding this when searching the internet, so I'd recommend you do a little more research or call KitchenAid at your time of purchase for confirmation.

While the product description states that this bowl is for all 5-quart mixers, this is no longer the case. This bowl is only for the 5-quart mixers with a bowl-lift lever. If you own one of the new Artisan mixers with a tilt-head, you will need a different bowl. KitchenAid makes this bowl, but Amazon doesn't carry it yet.

This is a 5-star product, but make sure it is the correct model for your mixer.

I bought this for my wife as a gift. We have a KG25H7X 5 Quart Professional HD Mixer, purchased (and probably only sold) at a major warehouse club where things generally don't Cost too much. Because it was summer and we weren't doing much baking, it sat in the cupboard for the better part of six months. When we finally did have a need for a second bowl, we were shocked to find that it didn't fit our particular model of mixer. It comes close, but it is obviously a slightly different diameter.

Five stars because I'm sure it's a great bowl for the mixers that it fits, but make sure your mixer is one of those!

I have a KitchenAid 5-Quart Professional Stand Mixer (bowl lift type, and not an Artisan) and I ordered this part only to find that it did not fit. Upon contacting KitchenAid I was told that the correct bowl for my mixer is the KN25WPBH (polished stainless) or the KN25PBH (brushed stainless). The KN25WPBH and the KN25PBH fit mixer models that start with "KG". At the time of writing this review the bowls that fit my "KG" mixer were, unfortunately, not available through Amazon.com. I am not exactly sure which series this K5ASBP bowl fits because this bowl is not even listed under stand mixer accessories at [...].

I purchased this bowl as an add on gift for my wife's new 6 quart professional stand mixer. It is a great mixer and this is a quality bowl, but the title and description of the product do not match the actual product.

The while the Amazon description claims it is a "Bowl for Professional Stand Mixer" and the feature list of product states "Additional bowl for KitchenAid Professional stand mixer expands the mixer's flexibility" and "Works with any KitchenAid Professional stand mixer; one-year warranty" it does not fit the top of the line "KitchenAid KP2671XWH Professional 6-Quart Stand Mixer".

The package that arrives clearly states it is for all 5-quart home stand mixers and not the professional model. By the way, I only gave it 4 stars because I can't actually use it to see if it is as durable as it looks.

What a convenience to have an additional mixing bowl. When I make baked goods, invariably I need to use more than one bowl for a recipe. It sure speeds up the process by having another bowl on hand whenever you need one. The quality of this product is unparalleled. KitchenAid makes the best mixers on the market that are built to last for years. Our mixer is the favorite kitchen appliance my wife and I own! If you don't have a KitchenAid mixer, get one and an additional bowl too! You won't be disappointed.

As I do a lot of baking during the Christmas season, my KitchenAid 5 quart mixer really cuts the time and energy it takes to make a lot of cookies, and other such Christmas treats. The only thing that would be better, I thought, was an extra bowl, so I could expidite the process. My husband bought me this bowl as an early Christmas present, and I love it!!! I got through the Christmas season of baking in no time at all. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to bake, and does a lot of it.

This item, described as "Kitchen Aid K5ASBP Bowl for 5-Quart Professional Stand Mixer" DOES NOT FIT the 5-Quart Professional Stand Mixer! It's not even close - much smaller diameter and deeper (by over an inch in both directions!). The plastic "covers" listed for this mixer also DO NOT FIT! What is so difficult about matching the accessories to the main product on the website??? Many people have had the same problem with Kitchen Aid accessories not matching the description. I'm glad they're not running the Space Program.

This bowl does not fit all 5 qt mixers. It certainly does not fit my model which starts with the letters KG. Don't let the title which indicates it fits 5 qt Professional mixers fool you too.

What a time saver! Whether whipping eggwhites for a meringue, creaming butter or kneading a batch of bread dough it is just so convenient to be able to pull off one bowl and not have to transfer ingredients and wash out your bowl! Just remove and slip in a new clean bowl and you're off!
