Best mixer. Period.
By Cas
I purchased this mixer because Cook’s Illustrated commended it. I may see, after 3 months, that CI was spot-on. It is a substantial-sized kitchen tool, and I’ve used it at least once a week since getting it. Primarily I purchased this for bread mixing, and it clomps along even on the firmest dough (though it does “hop” a bit on firm doughs). The powerful engine may handle anything I throw at it. It also does a extremely pleasing occupation on whipped cream — far better-textured than a hand-mixer could make. I’ve employed it to make cakes and cream-cheese dips, frostings and herb butters, and there just doesn’t seem to be much this mixer can’t do to perfection. It’s not a feed processor, so don’t suppose it to chop and dice or to cut butter into biscuit dough, but it fulfills it is function perfectly. It’s heavy-duty and substantial, and so easy to hand-wash I haven’t troubled putting it is elements through the dishwasher. 100% recommend.

leaking seal
By Alan
I have had this mixer for 5 vyears and use it occasionaly. The seal on the mixer shaft leaks oil into the bowl. KitchenAid says this is normal and one will have to use the mixer at least once a week to stop the leakage. This is a poor solution to the problem! This seal on the shaft needs a redesign. Be conscious of this problem. This is a mutual problem. Check the internet to find other comments.

My 1st Stand mixer & I love it!
By Carol
My mother-in-law gave me this mixer for Christmas. I read the bad reviews on this model so I was in truth planning on getting the KSM150PSBK since it has a higher motor capacity. But I got this as a gift so I’m not complaining! Since December I’ve been using it for cake and brownie batter and it has been great so far… but these past few weeks I started with bread and pizza dough and the mixer has been wonderful! I turn it off each now and then, though, and push the dough down with a spatula just so the motor could rest for a few seconds. It’s like a vacuum cleaner that when left on for assorted minutes straight, the motor would wear out quick. I also made scones with the paddle attachment and boy was it fast! I turned my back a few seconds to wash a couple dishes and when I came back to look the dough was done! This mixer brought back my old love for baking. I employed to bake all the time in high school but when I went to college I had no time for it and when I started working I even had less extra time. But this mixer makes everything so much posing no difficulty and faster, and clean up is a breeze! I’m taking good care of it so I hope it will last me assorted years, if not forever. I plan on getting the icecream maker attachment next! Love love Kitchenaid! Please don’t ever outsource!
