Gotta love not having to clean the dust out of the mixer before every usage. If you sew you could probably make a cover alot cheaper, but for the rest of us this works great and makes the mixer 'disappear' on the countertop.

My KitchenAid 5-quart stand mixer sits on my butcher block-topped kitchen island, so the mixer is ready for use at any time. This wonderful stand mixer is too heavy to put away and take out. I ordered my cover directly from KitchenAid many years ago, and I am very pleased with it. I have put it through the washer and dryer many times, and it still looks like new. I love the outside pocket because I can keep my KitchenAid booklet there along with a few favorite recipes. Also, I have sewed matching appliance covers for several other of my small electric appliances that I like to leave out on my tile countertops. (I wish I had an appliance garage, but I don't.) Highly Recommended Buy!

I got this cover for my new Kitchen Aid and was pleased with it the first few weeks. Until, that is, I got it a little dirty and needed to run some cold water on a small portion of it to remove a tomatoe sauce splatter. The dark dye started running *immediately* onto the white and I was madly trying to stop it before it got too bad. I fixed it as best as I could but about an inch all around one side on the trim is a light blue from the dye. I now have to remove it whenever I cook anything that may get on it and it's very impractical. Being in a kitchen, this cover is extremely likely to need washing from time to time and I found it just ridiculous that this is basically impossible to do without ruining it.

This is no cover up , it is a lovely addition to ones counter. It keeps your mixer clean, has a nice pocket on one side to store your mixer book and is made of a nice quilted fabric.
At first I thought it was a bit pricey but it is well made and will last forever!!

Being a bachelor, I know I needed a little look of the home comfort, and this quilted cover gives the kitchen a warm cozy feel. I like the idea of preventing splashes of food not being able to get on the mixer. I like to give the mixing bowl and utensils a quick rinse before I use them. What the cover prevents is the need to do a prolonged soak and scrub to get dried food off of it. The cover fits well. I haven't really bothered to put a cookbook in the pocket. I like the look with the pocket the way it comes.
I like the fact that I know my stand mixer will remain scratch free, and keep that new look for a lot of years because of the cover.
