My wife has back problems, and this mixer helps her a lot when it comes to her baking. She no longer has to struggle holding a hand mixer to make cookies or anything else she decides to make!! I think she bakes more now that we have this mixer!! I bought this shortly before Christmas, and she made more goodies than I have seen in a long time!! She would get one batch of something made, then started on another while one was baking!! She had fun making goodie baskets for family and friends!! She loves to make homemade whipped cream, and it takes just a couple of minutes compared to her hand mixer, which takes quite awhile.

I absolutely LOVE this mixer - have no idea why I waited so long to purchase one. I have added the food grinder and the ice cream maker and plan to add more in the near future. My 15 year old grandson loves to bake with it as well. It's used about every day. Quality appliance !!

My wife and I cook most of our meals and we love trying new things. I wanted to get her a stand mixer that would hold up to heavy use. We have been extremely pleased with this mixer. We have since bought attachments to use it to its full potential.

Just bought a month ago and so excited to make all my christmas cookies with it. Also all the possibilities that I can do in the future with all the different attachments I can add on

This mixer does it all! I have fibromyalgia, and my mother in law has horrible arthritis. So for us, mixing by hand is not only difficult but also painful. The two of us love to cook and bake, but it was getting to where our beloved hobby was less frequent due to the fact that it wasn't worth the pain to make things from scratch. In just one week this single kitchen appliance has gotten us back in the kitchen, and we couldn't be happier! Since you can just dump your ingredients in and the work is done for you (and it's done well) we don't worry about the discomfort from partaking in our favorite pastime! Thank you so much Kitchenaid!
