KitchenAid Professional 5-Quart Stand Mixer
By K. Tvedt
Here's a review I wish I had read prior to buying my KitchenAid:

First, the not-so-good: I bought the stand mixer, model number RKG25HOXER. This type of mixer mimics in design what you see in professional bakeries inasmuch as it has a handle on the side of the mixer that you raise in order to bring the bowl to the beater level. This, in my opinion, is the drawback and I would never consider buying this model again. The level of inconvenience is tremendous and annoying. To be specific, it is very difficult to add ingredients with this design. Imagine you are mixing a batter and you must slowly and gradually add flour. You can't fit a 1/4 cup measuring cup within the bowl circumference (which is very small). To add ingredients, you must stop the machine; lower the bowl; add a the ingredient; raise the bowl; and begin the mixing process. You have to do this as many times as you need to add something to your batter. I couldn't imagine that someone had not thought of a solution for this problem, so I began my research. I found that in order to add ingredients, it is recommended that you purchase a special KitchenAid plastic apparatus that fits the lip of the bowl. This apparatus has a spout or chute in which to add things. I believe KitchenAid calls it a splash guard, but I could be wrong. So, add this $20 to the price of your mixer, because you will need to buy it. The apparatus is not the solution as your ingredients stick to the plastic spout/chute (imagine adding an egg, then having to add a bit more flour). The bottom line with this machine is that the design is NOT convenient.

Now, the good: It's a KitchenAid and you will never find a better motor or quality mixer. I adore the durability! What a less pricey brand would struggle to mix, a KitchenAid simply plows through. Doughs, any batter, kneading, you name it; the machine does it. The optional attachments are quality made (graters, grinders). A K itchenAid will do everything short of birthing your children. While I would never recommend the design I ended up with, I could never recommend anything BUT a KitchenAid. I suggest buying the model where the head of the mixer lifts, just like your Mom's did. If I was a rich woman, I would go out today and buy that model design, but alas, I am stuck with what I am stuck with.

Bottom line: Buy a KitchenAid, do not buy anything else. Buy the head-lift design and you will be happy for life. I wish I had known!

KiitchenAid Pro HD 5 quart 475 watt stand mixer, Empire Red
By T. Glunz
The mixer arrived in one peice and turned out to be the slightly larger HD 475 watt model. Machine has worked flawlessly the few times we have used it, no problems at all. It is pretty loud compared to our older 325 watt machine but I suppose that is to be expected as the motor is quite a bit larger. The color is striking and we really like it.

Came with all the basic beaters and things needed to dive right in to making baked goods and has a well written manual that covers pretty much anything you need to know about it.

Overall quite happy with it so far and hope it does as well as our older kitchenAid has.

Reconditioned KitchenAid Pro 5
By Nan Vobr
Great powerful machine. It may take a while to adjust to the stationary head if you have not used this type of machine. I do not like the brushed chrome paddle as well as the white paddle my older kichenAid had. Bright red color is beautiful accent in my kitchen.
