Amazon.com Review
Thirty percent more powerful than KitchenAid's previous 5-quart stand mixers, this professional model efficiently tackles heavy loads with its 450-watt motor, direct-drive all-steel gear transmission, and bowl-lift lever that effortlessly raises heavy ingredients up to the beater. KitchenAid stand mixers, constructed of durable die-cast metal, come in a variety of colors and styles that have become American classics. With a choice of ten speeds and three attachments--flat beater, spiral dough hook, and stainless-steel wire whip--the mixer handles everything from egg whites to meat loaf to pizza dough. Rather than rotating the bowl, KitchenAid stand mixers feature a fixed bowl with a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter-clockwise, thus projecting the beater to 67 different points inside the 5-quart stainless-steel bowl. In deference to its power, the Soft-Start feature prevents splashing and flour clouds by gearing up to each speed gradually; then the electronic speed sensor kicks in to maintain a constant speed even when mixing the thickest batter. The bowl features a handle as well as two pins that hook into the lifting mechanism, which consists of a solid metal arm the same color as the mixer and a stainless-steel lever. A hinged attachment hub makes changing attachments easy. For safety, the mixer shuts down if an object obstructs the mixing process or if overloading occurs. The bowl, beater, and dough hook are dishwasher-safe. Assembled in Ohio, the mixer measures 16-1/2 by 12 by 14 inches and is backed by a hassle-free, one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri What's In the Box

 Great Mixer November 19, 2009
Kyla Everhate (Michigan USA)
I replaced my three year old and still working KitchenAid Classic mixer with this one a few weeks ago. I use it mainly for bread/pizza dough and love the new spiral dough hook it came with, it's a huge improvement over the C shaped hook (the hook is the white coated kind). I use high gluten bread flour and have never put in more than 6 cups, I sometimes do half bread flour and half whole wheat. The mixer doesn't have any problem with this amount or type of flour and kneads it to a much nicer consistancy than my Classic mixer. I also like the shape of the bowl compaired to the one that was for my Classic mixer. The bowl has a flat bottom and sits nicely on the table or counter, fits securely on the mixer even when kneading dough, and I think is easier to clean. The slow start feature is nice, I don't have to clean flour up from around my mixer after adding a little extra to dough. The mixer is a little louder than I'd like but as another reviewer said it isn't really any louder than my microwave.
 Awesome, worth the money November 17, 2009

I purchased this Kitchenaid Professional 5 stand mixer after having been given a Sunbeam stand mixer for my birthday. The Sunbeam was the type with two beaters, and it was a disappointment. The first time I used the Sunbeam I had to remove the dough from it and use my trusty old hand mixer to finish. After trying with one other recipe with the same result, I decided it had to go. So I took it back to the store and got a refund. Then I hit my computer with a vengence. If I'm going to spend quite a bit of money on something, I'm going to get the best product for the best price. I did extensive research on all different types of stand mixers. Of course, Kitchenaid is the best in consumer line stand mixer. There are some more professional, much more expensive brands; but I don't run a business, so I don't need those. To me, all of the stand mixers (that are worth anything) cost a lot. I took a long, hard look at the Hamilton Beach stand mixers. But they are not known for being a stand mixer company, like Kitchenaid. I wanted something that will last. I can't afford to buy this type of item every year. So I decided on the Kitchenaid, for reliability, quality, and reputation (all of the Kitchenaid reviews were great). So I searched and searched until I found information that made my decision for me. Most of the consumer line stand mixers, the tilt back styles, have one gear that is plastic as opposed to all metal gears. It is designed this way so that if the motor comes under too great of a strain, the plastic gear breaks shutting down the machine. So the plastic gear breaks instead of your motor. If the motor goes out, you might as well buy a new mixer. The professional models, mostly the bowl lift types, have all metal gears and the motor has a built in safety to shut itself off if it becomes too hot from strain. You turn off the mixer, unplug it for a while, then turn it back on & it works. No calling a repair man to replace the plastic gear (minimum $70 service call). So for me the Professional 5 was the way to go. Also, I got a pretty good price with free shipping. Amazon.com was & still is the cheapest I have seen online. So far, I have made cakes, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and cookies with my stand mixer. I even used it to mix up meatloaf. It did an awesome job of combining the dry ingredients with the meat. It did just fine with the thick cookie dough (using the flat beater), as well as the cinnamon roll dough (using the dough hook). I would recommend this stand mixer to anyone interested. I have had no problems with it at all.
WOW! September 28, 2009

What a great piece of machinery! I had an older model (about 35 years older) and wanted a new bright red one for my kitchen decor. It works as well as the older one and I love the wider bowl. It makes adding ingredients much easier. The speed control on the new one allows finer adjustment than the old one did and it seems to be a little more powerful, not that it needed to be.
It is exactly what I have come to expect from KitchenAid - great quality and value.

Since every female member in my family has one, I found it only fitting to buy one for my daughter since she is getting married. This was not only a big hit but now she dose not have to use her mothers. We have yet to have any problems with any of them and 2 are at least 25 years old.
You can buy this mixer at your local ace hardware store for $300 and get a $40 rebate right now. August 22, 2009
