Disadvantages

• Beater may not scrape the bowl completely while mixing, thus leaving unmixed ingredients.  This can be remedied by adjusting the screw just above the attachment holder that can be turned to fix the problem.  Instructions are included in the manual that comes with the mixer.
• This mixer is very heavy.  You probably won’t be wanting to move it in and out of cupboards.  But, it’s so beautiful you’ll want to show it off.

Who Is This Mixer For?

• Those who are unable to mix or knead dough manually because of pain or disability
• The cook who is proud of her kitchen decor and want to continue the theme with matching appliances

I love this thing! I have friends who’ve had KitchenAid mixers for years and they’ve always raved about their quality and durability. Well, I finally went for it and I have absolutely no regrets. You want to talk about a solid piece of kitchen machinery? This is the epitome of what “Made in America” used to mean! Unlike all the cheapo mixers out there, I’m completely confident that this thing will even outlast ME! The only problem is now I’m wondering why I waited so long!—–> This may help some of you – I read a review somewhere in which the reviewer gave this mixer a poor rating because it left dry ingredients in the bottom of the bowl – read the instruction booklet, people. It clearly states that if this occurs (or if the attachments scrape the bowl), there is an adjustment screw that raises or lowers the mixing assembly. I had to slightly lower mine and it now incorporates everything into the mix. The KitchenAid mixers are well worth the money….or you can keep buying junk mixers every couple years…the choice is yours.
