I own this KitchenAid model, and it is the second KA mixer I have owned. This model does a good job, and was a great replacement to my older model K45 of 30+ years. To me, the splash shield is indispensible for adding liquids, which tend to splash out, even at lower speeds. I would never be without my KitchenAid mixer, and it has helped out with cookie dough, decorator cake frostings, breads, quick breads, cakes, and anything else that needs a thorough mixing. The planetary action cannot be beat for efficiency.

Hello everyone, I have owned mine for about two years. To start with I didn't do much baking but when i did ( making Brownies or cakes) this was worth having and the money. Clean up is as easy as running hot water over it. Recently I have started baking breads and I have heard taht this model wasn't good for mixing dough. I have to totatlly disagree. This thing will need a 1.5 to 3 lb loaf from 5-30 minutes with easy. I am now making bread loafs from rustic, bagguettes, sourdoughs, and others, two to three times a week because of the ease of this machine. What use to take 30 minutes of hand kneading now takes 6 minutes on high spead to make perfect ciabatta bread.

Looks to be a heavy duty machine. Does a good job on stiff bread dough and mixing 32 degree natural peanut butter (probably not recommended). Arrived somewhat banged up but blemishes were cosmetic only. So far it's been great at everything I've used it for. I decided to skip the add ons after reading reviews and did get the plastic filler shield which I found I just didn't need.

I have had this Kitchen Aid model for about a year now and it is simply amazing! I use it for mixing everything...baking, pizza dough, bread dough, home-made mash pototoes, lots of scrambled eggs at once and so much more. The pouring shield is like the best ever when adding liquids or like for doing the scramble eggs. Mine stays on my kitchen couter top as it is used most everyday. The controls and features are so simple that my niece helps out alot and it is like a "fun-time" for her to use it and help out! The ease of the different speeds and attachments makes it great and the clean up is super easy and fast...I would suggest it for any home!

I've only been using this mixer for 10 months (but didn't open immediately after purchase so my warranty is over) and it has broken. It will not turn on (I have no electrical problems in my home, it's not the outlet, I've tried many). I've called KithenAid customer service and their only resolution is to take it to a local repair shop since I purchased 13 months ago (the repair shops have quoted me costs, just to look at it, not to fix it, that equal 1/2 of what I paid in the first place). After checking out a few other websites, I found that KitchenAid stand mixers have been performing very poorly over the last few years. I thought I would have this mixer for at least 20 years (since I only bake for special occasions and have used the mixer less than 15 times in less than one year of use). Beware of the limited one-year warranty, these mixers are not as reliable as the brand would have you believe.

I had it for a year now, and it still works just like the first day. If you are looking for a stand mixer you can't go wrong there. General use: backing pies and cookies.

I have only gotten to use this mixer one time. It worked okay, but I had a really hard time getting it to mix well, and ended up hand mixing everything stuck in the bottom! I didn't expect that for the price!

My wife and I have one of these mixers and bought one for our daughter. They're great. They mix better than any other mixer I've used.

I have wanted one of these for a long time and I have not been disappointed. It has a lot of power and is heavy so that there is no vibration. The shield on the bowl is a great idea..cuts down on splashes. My only reservation is the fact that I don't have an automatic beater ejector which would be easier and neater than releasing it manually. I am looking forward to a long and happy cooking experience with it.

I purchased this in November 2009. When we first used it in December, the speed/power switch did not engage in the Stir/1 Position. Kitchen Aid is replacing it under warranty, but they did note that this was a 2007 model based on the serial number and is now discontinued. They are sending the current, equivalent model. Just FYI for people buying.
