Best mixer
Great quality and reputation. Quieter than I expected and love that all attachments are steel.

Didn't go well
It quit working the second time I used it. Just stopped in the middle of my kneading. So I am obviously returning it. It is the second one I have bought that I have had to return. So I probably will not get another one. I know lots of people who have them and love them and they work. Mine didn't.

A product Name that says it All
After many years of not having a Kitchen Aid mixer again, I finally decided to buy this product. Had one many years ago as a wedding gift and when it failed , regretabally , I never replaced it. This was the right size, color, and price , so I bought it. Now I can get back to really having a great moxer.

Dissatisfied
I’m super disappointed with this. After first use and wash the bowl had rust spots around the rim. Tried a baking soda paste and it didn’t help. The attachments oxidized so bad I only hand washed them. It leaves a black residue on my hands and sometimes in the food:( I was so excited for this and for the price I’m disappointed

Kitchenaid says 60 days free returns. Until you read the fine print. First they sent me a used one then one that doesn't work well. Crap company.

Problems with dough hook
The mixer is good but I have had to buy a dough guard to prevent the dough from climbing up the dough hook. And the white plastic dough hook is delaminating.

Great Durability and Product Lifespan
I bought this mixer to replace my old KitchenAid 4.5 Quart stand mixer that I have owned for 40 years! I use my mixer alot so knew that after 40 years the best way to replace the old one was with a new one. I looked at reviews for other brands online and it reinforced my belief that another KitchenAId was the way to go. This one will most likely outlive me :).

Versatile and a work horse
My wife is an excellent baker. She has used the mixer multiple times and been totally satisfied with its performance. She has even expanded to using it to make other dishes such as meat loaf and hamburgers with excellent results. Overall, this has been an excellent addition to the kitchen. She has started adding other attachments such as a meat grinder to increase the KA versatility. Highly recommend.

Love It.
Works great. In fact, we are getting the meat grinder attachment for greater flexibility.

Sturdy
This mixer is very sturdy and handles all my mixing needs. Appreciate that he head locks into place and the operation is smooth and quiet even when kneading dough.

Love it!
I have wanted a stand mixer for years and finally got one. I am loving it! It works like a dream and is a lot quieter than I expected. Wish I hadn't waited so long to get one.

Good mixer. But I miss my 1980 Kitchen Aid
Have had this mixer about 2 months. Its ok. Doesn't seem to be as heavy or as tough as my first one that I got in early 80s. That one mixed a lot of food over the years. Cookies, Pie fillings, bread dough, etc. Meat grinder made a lot of bologna salad, chicken salad, ground nuts, etc. It finally started making grinding noises inside the head. Figured gears were giving out. Still have it in box that this one came out of. The old one was Almond in color. This one is Black. Shows every speck of flour that is spilled. Only real complaint. Did purchase the spring separately where the beater connects to the spinning head. Kitchen Aid should not have omitted that spring with their mixers. Cost can't be that bad. Not having the spring on makes the mixing unstable.

Happy it's still the best
After having a 5 quart tilt-head stand mixer for 35 years I would only buy a new Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I went to the 4.5 because it was a little lighter in weight. The mixer is very good, a bit noiser. Your new Flex paddle is excellent, it scraps the bowel much better. You don't need to stop the machine and scap down the sides of the bowl.
