Q: I just purchased one and the bowl sits tilted down (not level) and the attachments scrape the side of the bowl some, is that normal?
submitted by aly - 1 year ago
A: Mine is not like that
submitted byKsheb - 6 months agoA: Mine is the same way
submitted byAmanda - 9 months agoA: Try snapping the bowl all the way in.
submitted bySilly - 1 month agoA: Step 7 in the manual gives instructions on adjusting the bowl height.
submitted byAslansMom - 22 days agoA: Mine wasn't like that.
submitted byMC - 5 months agoA: Hi aly, Please use the link below for proper bowl assembly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhhlFCo7aBg

Q: Why would you want the bowl-lift feature vs a tilt head?
submitted by Cassie - 2 years ago
A: You can use this in more versatile places, such as under an overhang or cabinet without having to move it to lift the bowl.
submitted byMrs Meow - 1 year agoA: Ease of bread making.
submitted byMC - 5 months agoA: Hi Cassie, The bowl-lift models offer a higher wattage for mixing larger quantities.
submitted byKitchenAidTeam - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Bread/pizza dough. Lift stand models have no "flex" in the hinge when kneading with the dough hook. Minor trade-off is having to remove the beater/hook before removing the bowl, vs tipping it up.
submitted byTL - 1 year agoA: More versatile with where it can be placed
submitted byKsheb - 6 months ago
Q: Does this only accept large quantities of flour / baking goods? In other words, if I want to make a single batch of cookies (~2 cups flour, 2 eggs, 1.5 cup sugar) would this mixer still work well?
submitted by Baker - 1 year ago
A: Single batches work well, too.
submitted byMC - 5 months agoA: Works fine for double batches
submitted byKsheb - 6 months agoA: Yes it works very well! It will be the best mixer you have ever owned. Trust me, you won't regret snagging one of these!
submitted byLynn - 1 year agoA: Hi Baker, This model offers the capability of mixing smaller batches.
submitted byKitchenAidTeam - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: How tall is this mixer?
submitted by Jb - 1 year ago

Q: How can adjust the flat head mixer to not scrape the bottom of the bowl? I’ve read the instructions and did the adjustment with the screw at the back to adjust the height but I can’t get it to go up any further and it still scrapes the bottom of the bowl

This is the BEST!
Started using immediately upon arrival. Making massive numbers of banana bread and other Christmas goodies. This worked like a champ and saved my hands hours of kneading dough. LOVE IT!

I've always wanted one of these. Retired from my job and finally bought the red one while it was on sale. It's very sturdy with quality accessories and looks beautiful on any counter.

Super disappointed. The first mixer I bought stopped working after about 7 minutes of use, so I returned it and exchanged it for a new one. The replacement stopped working after only 5 minutes. For the price, the quality should be much better.

Shut off after one use
I couldn’t believe the bad reviews and figured this is a KitchenAid it has to work well. And as many of the reviews said mine also died in the first time use. Do not understand how kitchenaid is even selling these they must all be faulty. Don’t buy! Buy a title head one that has better reviews.

Broke during first use
Machine stopped working after 5 minutes on first use. There’s something wrong with the newest models around this November - December time frame, but they are still selling them. I would hold off buying this until KitchenAid acknowledges their faulty machines. I contacted KitchenAid and they said they would send a replacement, but it is on back order.

Montana Red
Have had a KitchenAid mixer for many years… Love it and works great. Need to buy another one for our place in Montana. The new one I just bought is made very cheap. I hope it works as well as my old one . You pay more for cheaper quality. It’s very disappointing.
