Pros & Cons
Pros
For everyday home use this is an essential tool. Comes preassembled and is easy to figure out how to operate.
Cons
As a longtime ka fan, i’m so disappointed in the changes they have made to the quality of the product. What is the point to give your product this names if they are cheaply built? A definite waist of money.
The turret jumps up and down when making kitchenaid's own noodle recipe. The bowl does not stay attached to the base when mixing bread dough. The most i ever do is two loaves at a time and the bowl comes loose when mixing one loaf.
It’s the most annoying thing. Very frustrating. Very disappointed. What a disappointment. Disappointing to say the least.
The head jumps around and it spews oil. Kneading requires constant hand pressure on the tilt head. The mixer speed is abnormally high even at the lowest stir speed settings.
Kitchenaid decided to save a dime on cost by dumping the attachment spring. The product is essentially a piece of junk. Do yourself a favor, do not buy from them, im not the only one they have done this too.
Highlights
Quality
I love the quality of this product, all the accessories and especially the color!
It was a mothers day gift, wife was very pleased with the functions
So i have replaced it with the kitchen aid.
Ours was purchased in 2011 so i can't comment on the quality of the ones built more recently.
Price
This is a replacement for old one, bought on amazon, price was ok but unit was a refurbished ,ad didn'tdisclose this .

The only reason we got a new one was we loved the old one saw a great sale on a larger capacity one with a stronger motor and the lift bowl and decided to get it
