This is a very versitile tool in the kitchen. I would recomend this product to anyone, just pick the size that suits you needs. We got it for several purposes. I hunt and use the grinder attachment a lot and it has plenty of power to make quick work of baking. All of the tools for this model are very sturdy steel and it seems to be put together well. My only concern with this product is the mixing bowl will pop out of its latch when the dough or mixture is very thick. It just has so much torque you have to keep an eye on it when making breads. Other than that minor bump it is a really great machine and we are very happy with it.

This Kitchenaid mixer is really a top-of-the-line work-horse for your kitchen!! It is sturdy, powerful, and heavy-duty. Get a second bowl right away, if you will be using this for Holiday baking, or even for an easy meal. This will be the centerpiece of your kitchen. I love the licorice color, it is a flat black color, but has a sheen to it. Shows NO fingerprints, cleans super easy. I like using just hot water and a micro-fiber cloth for easy wipe-ups. I personally don't use the pouring shield, but you may like it. I have all white kitchen appliances, with a vintage flare to the kitchen, with 50's colors. The licorice goes great, is really a show-piece. I would never part with this machine, I sort-of want another one, lol!

I purchased this specifically to make my New Year's tamales. I use it to mix the masa (dough). Now I don't have to mix the masa by hand like I used to. My wonderful baby does it for me. It can mix up to 5lbs of masa at a time. For cooks who prepare large batches of food, this is your mixer! The more powerful motor makes a big difference! What a great value for this mixer. I made 200 tamales without breaking my back.

This mixer is absolutely the best mixer that I ever owned. It works magnificently! I have made cookies, cakes and even dough with ease. The bowl with handle is a great feature and clean up is a whiz. I would recommend this to everyone!

The mixer is perfect for big jobs, if big jobs are all you do. If one does not have the counter space for storage, trust me, you will not lug out this big, heavy, machine for anything other than the largest jobs. Akin to a commercial mixer, the motor head does not pivot out of the bowl. As a result, the beater must be dropped into the mix to allow for removal of the bowl. I found that awkward. All that being said, it will certainly impress others, and makes for a great conversation piece.
