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 - 11 months 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: Mine wasn't like that.
submitted byMC - 5 months agoA: Step 7 in the manual gives instructions on adjusting the bowl height.

Q: Why would you want the bowl-lift feature vs a tilt head?
submitted by Cassie - 2 years ago
A: 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 agoA: Hi Cassie, The bowl-lift models offer a higher wattage for mixing larger quantities.
submitted byKitchenAidTeam - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Ease of bread making.
submitted byMC - 5 months agoA: You can use this in more versatile places, such as under an overhang or cabinet without having to move it to lift the bowl.

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: The mixing paddle, does it simultaneously turn and rotate forward/backward in bowl? Also, is the well at bowl's bottom narrow and deep as with Tilt head model or is this bowl a bit broader on inside.
submitted by Melissa - 17 days ago
A: Hi Melissa, the beater rotates in one direction only. The bowl is wider than the tilt head bowl.

This is my first time ordering this mixer, so I cannot rate it. The ordering process was very easy. I was even offered a coupon to cut the cost. I have heard rave reviews about this mixer, so I am willing to try it.

Not the Kitchenaid of Old
Didn't even run for 5 seconds before dying. Almost immediate loss of power to the motor. NOT an electrical issue in my home, these things are just horribly-built now. Tried calling and chatting with Kitchenaid, never connected with an agent after over half an hour of waiting. Save your money and look elsewhere, this is not the Kitchenaid of old.

Loathe the awkward bowl lift design
I "upgraded" to this design nightmare. the top of the mixer does not tilt backwards, so you must lower the bowl and then awkwardly lower the mixing attachment into the basin with the food you are preparing to try and remove the mixing tool- sending food flying or sticking back onto the attachment, and then you can remove the bowl. if the bowl is more than one quarter full , you are going to smash the mixing tool into your food. The bowl, again awkwardly, clips in an out, it does not screw into the base like the other design, another opportunity for a mess. I rarely use mine because it is such a pain. every time I have to dunk the mixing attachment directly into my food basin even with the bowl completely lowered. I dont see how anyone actually likes this design.

Stopped working day 1 of use. Beautiful color went from being so happy to being so sad. Since have noticed reviews of many with same issue therefore didn’t even want to try to replace. I’m not confident in Target return that it was flagged as something does not work, I mentioned but wasn’t clear they were noting that. With so many reported issues they should be pulled from the shelves until manufacturer can determine which may actually work.

LISTEN TO THESE REVIEWS
Took the mixer out of the box. Turned it on, it worked. Went to actually use it for Thanksgiving dinner and it lasted five seconds and died. Wish I read the reviews first, but it's a KitchenAid stand mixer. Didn't think it was necessary. I had my last for 15 years and it still worked, just wanted something slightly different.
