Startup speed too fast, no help from KA cust. care
KimND
7/29/2019
I sold my 5 quart black KitchenAid that I'd had for over a decade to upgrade to this one and give myself a fresh colour. The first batch of cookies I made with it was a disaster, my old black mixer had a very slow startup speed (and was not equipped with the slow start function) that made incorporating anything a dream. This mixer seems to go to second or third speed immediately and no matter what I do, I cannot avoid a mess. I called KitchenAid to ask if there was some kind of mistake in the speeds or a way to slow it down. I was sent to Alex in the customer care department and he told me that my old mixer would have had their slow start function and this one did not. He said to take a video of the problem and email it to them. After emailing in the video, there was no follow up from KitchenAid which was disappointing so I had to contact them myself. I was sent to Alex again and when I asked him again about the slow start feature, I told him I searched online for any of the tilt head mixers that had it and couldn't find any. I told him the old mixer I had for the second time and he said actually that mixer didn't come with it either so in all those wasted searches, I was looking for something that didn't exist. He opened my video and watched it with me on the line and his comment was completely useless: it looks like you're making something that has too many ingredients in it. I told him it was a cookie recipe that made only 30 cookies, standard, but his suggestions were still the same, lessen my ingredients because there was nothing wrong with the mixer. He was very polite but very unhelpful and I feel like I wasted my money on something pretty that doesn't function well. Bottom line I would not buy this mixer again and I wish I had my old one back.

I recently purchased this mixing stand and love it. It kneads my bread perfectly. The mixer attachments mix close to the edge of the bowl so you don't have to continously scrap the bowl. Power is great. An unexpected feature I am enjoying is being able to use the mixer and let it mix while I do other things in the kitchen.

This mixer works very well. The beaters reaches the entire surface of the bowl. It is great to be able to leave the mixer briefly while doing little chores such as cracking eggs. It is attractive and sturdy. My only suggesti9n for improvement would be to include a 2nd bowl. The cake I was making required stiffened egg whites. I had to get out the hand mixer and a bowl. If there was one included that fit the mixer I could have first whipped the egg whites in it then switched bowls to do the sponge mixture.

I bought this about a notch ago and have used it a few times. Overall performance is great, nice amount of power. The regular paddle attachment is the only problem, it doesn't reach the side properly but I've ordered the flex paddle attachment thing so hopeful that solves my problem

This is such a great mixer. It is powerful and sturdy. Tackles thick cookie dough easily. The only thing is that it is really heavy to lift, but I just get my boyfriend to move it around.

I received this as a gift for my birthday. First of all, I love the look and the colour. I have used each mixing attachment for recipes like meatloaf, stuffed mushroom caps, and various cakes. It makes life a lot easier while trying to cook with a 6 month old in the house. I can even run it with one hand.

I just started making fairly large quantity of cookies and this mixer has been great. Solid base, good performance. Comes with 3 standard utensils. I did purchase one with "rubber scraper" to get the edge of bowl better.

I received by mixer as a birthday gift this year, all my family members chipped in to get this for me-an overwhelming surprise!! I've been baking for years and have a small at home business and have many orders throughout the week. I could never afford to purchase a kitchen aid on my own, but have always dreamed of having one. In past years I have been using Sunbeam stand mixers-this new mixer blows that product right out of the water. I can get my orders out more efficiently and have so much fun while doing so. This product has many speeds, attachments, and incredable power and stability. I love it! 10/10 recommend. The only thing I would like to see new with the product would be more choice in color for the appliance.

Well I didn't think I needed a heavy duty mixer - I'd used my 1980's stand mixer just fine all these years. When it fell apart my children gave me this beauty for Christmas. I had no idea that my family-famous chocolate cookies could still be made. They are just as perfect and now the mixer doesn't vibrate towards the edge of the counter!

I would definitely recommend this item, makes life much easier, and would you just look at that color! It does have a different sound when turned on, but I think that's due to having it on a not so sturdy table.

The kitchen aid is not just for baking. I have used it to shred chicken, blend chicken dip, and other non-baking things. It's awesome for mixing cookie dough and cake batter too. It's a very versatile appliance for any kitchen and you'll be glad you have one!

Over 16 yrs old and still working strong
Norcalbaker59
9/8/2018
I bake a lot. A lot as in just about daily. A lot as in I bake so much that I stock 6 different types of flours; 8 types of gluten free flours; and 4 types of sugars. I purchase eggs in 5 dozen flats. I don't remember the exact year I bought my Ultra (I call her ol' Bertha) but it was at least 16 years ago. I admit the plastic covers on the the power switch and the screw for the attachment cover have cracked and fallen off. But other than that ol' Bertha is still humming along.
I regularly mix batters, cookie doughs, pate a choux, croissants, meringues, buttercreams, whipped creams with this machine.
However, I only occasionally mix panettone, challah, paska, brioche, and bread doughs because countertop planetary mixers are not designed for frequent mixing of heavy doughs.
Kitchenaid is a well made machine, but proper use and care is a major factor in the longevity of any mixer. Kitchenaid, and all planetary mixers are not designed for regular mixing of heavy doughs like bread and pizza. I know a dough hook is a standard attachment. But these mixers should not be pressed into service for regular mixing of heavy doughs. Bakers who primarily bake bread should consider a spiral mixer that is designed for bread dough, or the countertop Hobart.
