KitchenAid® 7 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

I recently had to replace my old 6 qt KitchenAid. I was very leery with some of the reviews I'd seen with the new mixers, however, I was pleasantly surprised with effectiveness of the machine. It has a great capacity and is way quieter than my previous KitchenAid. I love the ability to utilize the accessories I already have and the flexibility to add other new ones. The only downside is that there is a slight defect in the enamel paint job on the base, which doesn't impact the functionality, and I can live with it.

Purchased this Kitchen Aid model for my oldest granddaughter who is getting married. This is the one she wanted. I have a similar 40 year old model that is still used very often. KA maintains their continued quality, look, basic color, and multi speed. I am sure whe will get 40 years plus out of hers as well.

Purchased a KitchenAid 7-quart mixer at the sale price of $549 on day one; died two minutes into mixing batter. I did the recommended troubleshooting process, plugged into other outlets, checked the circuit breaker & kept unplugged for a full day. Still did not work. I called KitchenAid, and they were willing to replace it but would take 6-8 weeks. They then offered to refund my money only after they received the mixer. I opted to return to Amazon as it was brand new. I really wanted a mixer for the holidays, so, on a gamble, I ordered a second mixer at full price, $649. With both, I added the Acurion insurance (Acurion refunded me right away). After dropping off the first mixer at UPS, I discovered that Amazon will not release $$ funds $$ until they receive the mixer. I did not know this when purchasing the second mixer. Now I am $1200 on hold on my credit card. Not only are my funds held, but the return is via UPS Ground, a slow boat. This KitchenAid 7-quart mixer must be a bad batch from the KitchenAid for Amazon. Very tough disappointment! I really hoped that the second one would have worked for me. With a 7-quart mixer, I opted to purchase from Amazon to get insurance, and I hoped the 7-quart would be more powerful for batched bread dough and large amounts of cookie batter. I did end up going to Costco for the smaller size 6-quart KitchenAid Mixer, and so far (two days in) it is working fine.

So the story of my mixer. Let me start off with I love this mixer. Tho is was a rocky start… The first one I received did not even turn on…didn’t even try to start. But costumer service is amazing with Amazon and kitchenaid. Tho I had to wait a little longer because I had to have the olive green one. The 2nd one works perfectly, the color I love, easy to clean up, easy to attach the attachments, easy to use. Does everything I ask it to do with ease. It’s powerful. It’s a bit heavy but I love that. Doesn’t feel like it’s cheaply made. Definitely with the cost.

Love my mixer. Can make double batches of bread without drag on the motor.

I’ve had this over a year at this point and I’m beyond pleased with my purchase. I love everything about this kitchen aid. From the color to the price, the size the amount of time it saves me making things. It’s easy to clean. I’m a beginner and this so easy to to get started with. The feather pink is such a beautiful color. I’m so obsessed. I get so many compliments on the color alone. Also wanted to mention mine didn’t come in damaged like some reviews I’ve seen. Delivering was also a good experience. I expected the box to have some damage from the size and weight of it and it didn’t. Great job Amazon!

BUYER BEWARE. I purchased this mixer after seeing all the good reviews. KitchenAid has always been a reputable brand, I figured I'd upgrade from my cheapy little $100 mixer to this. First time I used it was to make cookies. Creamed butter like a dream. I used it for maybe 10 minutes tops, but it worked so smoothly. I was in love. Today was the second time I was going to use my mixer. I put together my dough, put it in the bowl, and got ready to knead. Moved it up one notch - to 1/2 speed - it whirred for less than a second... and shut off. Same story as all the other folks here. I tried different outlets. Checked to make sure outlet was okay (tried plugging in other appliances), all was fine there. Unplugged it and left it off for an hour. Tried it again. Nada. Of course, my return period closed two days ago... I'm going to try and get in touch with Kitchen Aid first thing in the morning. Amazon is telling me to get in touch with them, due to the high value of the mixer. Disappointed that they weren't able to do much more to help me, but of course now that return period is closed they can't be bothered to help me...

I absolutely love it!! This is the best mixer I’ve ever had!
