nothing fabulous
Great colors, but otherwise no better than the older tilt-head version and upgrading to 5 quart vs previous 4.5 is absolutely no different for actual capacity. My coated flat beater is chipping after one use

Artisan® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
I love my Kitchenaid stand mixer. I've always wanted one and decided now was the time. I don't know how I cooked without it. I use it for cookie dough instead of stirring by hand. My cookies are so much better. I use it to shred chicken, rather than using two meat forks. Perfect every time. This mixer has simplified my cooking and baking life!

Lifelong Friend
This KitchenAid Mixer is phenomenal. We got this mixer as a gift off of our wedding registry, and even though we considered cheaper options to cater to our guests' budgets, it was a no brainer to place the KitchenAid Mixer instead. My mom has had hers for many years and I do not remember her not having it. This mixer has been reliable, has worked great from its first use and has not degraded in functionality since it was first turned on. 100000/10 recommend! P.S. You will get stronger by moving it around ;)

Flimsy, Head bounces when kneading dough
I've had an older model since 1991 (35 years). I just tried to make bread for the first time with this one. I used a medium-low setting. The motor bounced so hard, the screw holding the accessory panel worked loose and the panel dropped into the dough. It dented the bowl little before I could stop it. The lock lever also worked its way toward the unlock position. I had to keep pushing it back to lock. I had to stand there the whole time and push down on the head to keep it from bouncing. This never would happen on my old mixer. Why cheapen your product?

Amazing style, unfortunate reliability
I love the color and the style of the mixer. However, quality is a little disappointing. We have used the mixed less than 10 times since purchased 8 months ago. It already has a problem where it does not turn off when switched to off. The mixer must be unplugged for it to turn off.

Invaluable kitchen staple for a busy mama!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome, reliable mixer! I use it multiple times weekly for dough & to cream icings and cookie ingredients. Every kitchen needs this appliance! Also loooooove the color options on these mixers, I got the buttery yellow one and it is so gorgeous in my home. My only issue has been with the standard attachments that come with it— I do not like that they are powder coated— the paint chips and flakes off over time and to me that’s not good because I don’t want paint chips in my food. Kitchenaid does however sell reasonably priced stainless steel attachments so it’s not a big deal.

More wattage than my good old Kitchenaid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the stir speed and the smooth power. The cord seems to be a smaller gage wire than older models, so I hope that doesn't overheat. The missing spring on the shaft is concerning and may lead to wear on the paddle attachments. Haven't tried the accessory function yet but the pot metal parts on the mixer are not as good quality as in my older model.

Perfect color!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new 5qt stand mixer!! I was so reluctant to buy such a space hogging machine, but so glad I took the plunge. I am making so many different breads these days and can’t wait to look up other labor-intensive recipes that I used to pass on. The color is beautiful and because of its glossiness, stains don’t show too much i.e. flour handprints. So glad I didn’t choose matte black.

A Nice Upgrade!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Up to this point, I have only ever owned the smaller stand mixer. I loved it because it was compact and could stay on my counter. But after receiving this 5 quart mixer...game changer! The motor is more powerful, my whipped cream and meringues whip so much faster! I have a home-based pie bakery, so this is pretty important to me. I love my mixer!

Easy to use, works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stand mixer works great! It's easy to use, and mixes very well. My only issue with it has been that the white ceramic coating is coming off of one of my mixing attachments after just the first use of that attachment.
