I do a lots baking & cooking at home. A few months ago my hands begin to hurt when I'm mixing by hand or using a hand mixer, I decided to buy mixer. I do a lots of searching before buying products. Sears has the great price for Kitchen Aid mixers. In the follow weeks I bought Pasta Roller &cutter set and Grinder /at Sears.com/. Now even my husband likes to use them all.

I purchased my Kitchen Aid mixer six years ago, and for the past two years it has been in storage. I just got it back, and I can't imagine life without it.

This is exactly what I was looking for.  In just a week I've baked whole wheat bread, pumpkin bread, rolls and cakes.  The mixer is incredibly fast!  I love it.  The price I got at Sears.com was incredible as well.  It was the best price out there and I've been searching for months. I think my family is pretty satisfied and happy with this purchase as well!

My husband and I received the KitchenAid Stand Mixer as a gift, and we both like it. 

It's easy to use, and great for heavy doughs that a hand mixer can't handle. The 5 quart bowl easily contains a double batch of cookie dough. One minor detail that I like is the handle on the bowl; my mom's mixer bowl doesn't have a handle and hers is sometimes hard to keep a grip on, especially with damp or sticky hands.  

The mixer is easy to use and clean. Due to its weight, it is more convenient to leave the mixer out rather than store it away, so it does take up space on the counter.

My husband bought me the kitchenaid stand mixer 3 yrs ago for X-Mas...it was the best present...I use it all the time. I love to make cheese cakes and I can make 2 at once with my mixer. It makes my baking time shorter.

It is alittle expensive, so I tell people who can not afford one, if they see one for sale at a yard sale to buy it.

Love this!

This is by far the best mixer to own! It is powerful, whips up cheesecake velvety smooth. Choice of settings. I have the optional meat grinder attachment and I finally don't have to use the handheld old fashoned grinder..what a difference this mixer makes! I use it everyday. If you love to bake, get this mixer!

It's a Kitchenaid

If you're going to buy a stand mixer (and you should), the trusted name is KitchenAid.  My mother has had the same mixer since '72, and she used it quite a bit.

The Artisan line is just as sturdy as the others.  Motor HP really doesn't mean much on this type of thing, really.  Looks good in the kitchen.  I bought a juicer attachment as well.  It's suitable for many things.  When making meatloaf (3lbs meat), you have to be careful as it's just a bit too small.

greatest ever

this is the greatest mixer ever! You will never need to buy a new one or replace it. I abolutely love the speeds and the durance of this kitchenaid mixer. I can make a double chocolate chip cookie dough mix in this thing and then put the bowl in the fridge!

Whips up tasty treats fast!

I love my Kitchenaid Mixer.  It seems like there isn't much it can't do. I have used it to mix cake batter, frostings, cookie dough, pizza dough and whip cream.  One of my favorite things about it is the numerous attachments available, I use the paddle and whisk attachments all the time.  I have only tried the bread hook a few times, each time it worked perfectly and created a terrific pizza dough.

The drawbacks if you could really call them that is how heavy the mixer is (although I think a lighter mixer wouldn't be as powerful) and that you have to be carefull when mixing cookie doughs (to...

Best Mashed Potatoes EVER! Whips Egg Whites likes it's nobodies business, and is just such a time saver!! I'm pretty sure this will last at least our lifetime and probably beyond!!! A great appliance to have in one's kitchen, if you can afford the somewhat expensive price!

I received this mixer as a gift for Christmas and it has been great.  I've mostly made rolls and pizza dough, but have found it to handle the thick dough without a problem.  It's quieter than I expected and cleans up really well.  It makes a statement on the countertop and it goes well with the surrounding decor.

My wife has never been much of a baker but since we purchased this mixer, I've become one.  There is not a week that goes by that I'm not baking up something, cakes, cheesecakes, pies, you name it..  Also purchased the meat grinder attachment that I mostly use for shepards pie.  The mixer is a top quality product that puts all others to shame.  In our 40 years of marriage my wife was unable to get me in the kitchen, now she has to shoo me out.  A local Sears was closing their doors when I spotted several of the Artisan mixers on clearance for $149.00.  I should have purchased one of every...
