Great Mixer andparts information
The review from "gtad" is great. This is a review to expand on the information provided thus far.
I can't believe I've lived without this...........
I have been comparing so many different models for over 2 months now.I was sold on the professional at Sams Club for just under $300 and noticed this one on a friday sale.I compared both models and called Kitchenaid to verify the models and motors, etc.It arrived today and I can honestly say it is better than I expected.Wow is all I can say

Trying to decide? This may help.
I have been doing a lot of research on KitchenAid Mixers. Below is some information I felt may be of use to others trying to decide on a new KitchenAid Mixer.

With its ample dimensions and burly construction, this commercial 5-quart KitchenAid mixer is prepared to be a culinary beast of burden. Smartly engineered so that the beater moves clockwise while the shaft moves counterclockwise, the beater reaches every part of the bowl without requiring it to rotate. 5 mixing speeds plus a stir setting means the appliance can do everything from folding cranberries into biscotti to whipping up a fluffy meringue. The all-metal construction includes a heavy-duty motor to handle stiff batters and a hardwearing transmission that ensures continuous power. The mixer’s seamless, stainless-steel, 5-quart bowl stands flat on its indented base and features sealed handle and bracket connections that meet NSF standards. A professional-style bowl lift raises it easily and securely into position, even if it’s brimming with weighty dough.Read more

Features

• 5-quart bowl holds dough for two loaves of bread, mashed potatoes for six
• Includes flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook; measures 16-1/2 inches high, weighs 25 pounds
• 325-watt motor; 10 mixing speeds
• Bowl and attachments, except wire whip, are dishwasher-safe
• Reconditioned by the manufacturer to "like new" condition; includes 6-month warranty

Get this Model for Weekend/Holiday occasions!! Mixer Shoppersdon't be Stupid!!
Don't mind my bad spelling but........We rate it Four Stars becuase of the expectations of KitchenAide products are high. We believe that this model is great for holiday and weekend bakers/cooks. Not for the everyday, likes to make everything under the sun type( if you are thats great!). The value is awesome and recommend that you buy the pouring shield along with it ( around 20$). Power is at a 7 becuase there are stronger models available. Duribality is an 8. Versatility is a 9. Easy use is a 8.5. And cleaning is a 9. Value is a 10... So overall its an 8.6! So take some time to read other reviews and to helpb make your choice, but we recommend KithenAide brand of mixers overall.

Want More Power and Metal Gears, Go With The RKG25H0X
I noticed the great price on this machine, but after checking the specs, I decided to go with an upgraded model.If I'm gonna finally get a KitchenAid, I want to get the best machine possible, and for only $30 more, you can get the RKG25H0XWH which features metal gears (the RRK5A has nylon) and a 450-watt motor (the RRK5A has only 300-watts).
Bread kneading
You guys do know that you shouldnt fully knead the bread dough in the mixer. You start it partially and knead the rest by hand so you dont over work the dough. then you let it rise, then punch it down and then form it into the shape you need then bake away. Kneading the whole process in a mixer is a lazy mans way of making bread. we used this same mixer through my Le cordon bleu culinary program and it worked fine. ... Read more

Fantastic meat grinder if you have the Kitchenaid mixer
Even if you never thought you wanted to grind meat yourself, you should consider getting this.Anyone who has traveled to Europe can tell you that we Americans have been getting fed the most flavorless sausage in the world.But, it doesn't have to be that way.You can find recipes and casings online and make them yourself.To make sausage, you will also need the sausage stuffer for the Kitchenaid stand mixer.We have also discovered that grinding your own meat for hamburgers makes for more of a difference than you would think (hint: check out Alton Brown's hamburger recipe on foodtv.com).
food grinder.
for home kitchen it is great. Fasy to keep clean and a real treasure.

BACK TO THE GRIND
This thing tears through meat, I hate to chewy beef and stringy chicken, so this attachment is my new bud. Works fantastic on cereal to (dry not wet). Buy it, you won't regret it. ... Read more

Professional chefs have long sung the praises of the KitchenAid stand mixer. Now, KitchenAid has designed a product specifically for the home baker with this nine-speed hand mixer. Its digital display shows the selected speed, providing precision control, while an electronic sensor works with the powerful yet lightweight motor to maintain that speed in any mixture, heavy to light. Designed with nonclogging air vents, the mixer is easy to clean because smooth, sleek surfaces have no seams or grooves that trap ingredients. The mixer comes with traditional beaters, a pro whisk attachment for fluffier mixes, and a one-year warranty. Read more

Features

• Nine digital speeds, 7-1/2 inches long by 6-1/2 inches high
• Pro whisk attachment increases air for fluffier mixtures
• Comfort-designed handle; heel rest won't tip when set on end

What a workhorse--I love it!!
This mixer is such a workhorse; it is always up for any amount of mixing you want to do.I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod.What impressed me the most, along with the normal mixing and whisking, is when I used the dough hooks to mix a LARGE amount of ground beef mixture that I was preparing to make a couple of meat loaves and meatballs with.It tackled it with ease.
You Can't beat KitchenAid!
This is my third KitchenAid hand mixer. My first was a three speed, my second a five speed and now I have the nine speed. Each one has had more power than the last. This is light weight and has an easy to use digital speed control that is not in your way when you are using the mixer. I always wanted the KitchenAid stand mixer, but when my children were home, I couldn't afford it and now that I can afford it, the hand mixers from KitchenAid have made me realize its just not necessary to have the big one that takes up a lot of counter space. The nine speed is wonderful. The lower two speeds are for stirring. My other two mixers didn't have that capability. I was surprised how much power this mixer has. If you don't have the room or don't want to spend the money to buy a big stand mixer, buy this one. It's a great little mixer with a lot of power.

This mixer's for me!
I needed a good mixer with multiple speeds, and this mixer fit the bill.My first use was to make quick breads~4 loaves of banana bread. The low speeds were helpful blending the large quantities of ingredients.

Editorial Review

KitchenAid's Artisan stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 325 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solidly constructed and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist. This model also includes a pouring shield for guiding ingredients to their proper destination, and the bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing about 15 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball, this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. Read more

Features

• 325-watt mixer with 10 speeds; 5-quart stainless steel bowl
• Tilt-back head for easy access to mixture
• 2-piece pouring shield with large chute for adding ingredients
• Includes flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip
• Measures 14 by 8-2/3 inches by 14 inches; 1-year warranty

MAKES A GREAT PROP
The main reason I bought this mixer was because I wanted the whole retro-appliance look for my kitchen.I was actually less concerned with how it works.
Absolutely no comparison this is the BEST
My original mixer is almost 12 years old and recently was given to my mom because we received a brand new mixer as a housewarming gift.This is by far the BEST stand mixer on the market.I love the ease with which this product works, it is invaluable in your kitchen.It whips cream in 2 minutes (chill the bowl first), but can also handle heavy dough or batter, like breads, without any strain on it's motor.My 12 year old mixer works exactly like my brand new mixer, and in the 12 years that I've owned the mixer, never ever had a problem with it.No maintenance! You will never regret purchasing this product.

Go Ahead and Buy it!
There are already many great reviews of this outstanding product, and all I can really add s : just go ahead and order it.Amazon has the best prices, and if you're debating between the Pro model vs Artisan, you can't go wrong either way.There both plenty powerful and big enough for any home uses.The tilt-head Artisan series is more compact and easier for most people to use, so it will likely be the best choice (the price difference doesn't hurt either).My girlfriend and I became a little too attached with the notion of the Pro model, and it almost made us delay the purchase (until we could afford it).I'm glad we wised up and ordered the Artisan.

Good mixer for light use
The mixer is good for doing an occasional bread recipe, and for other light tasks like whipping cream, mixing mashed potatoes, etc, but if you use it to make heavy or dry breads on a regular basis it isn't suitable.When I first received the machine I loved it.I liked the high quality metal construction, the provided attachments, and the reputation of the KitchenAid name.
Love it!!!!
I love my kitchenaid, I have made, bread, cakes, cookies you name it.I can't stop using it since I got it, so why the 4 stars instead of 5 you might ask, well the reason why I am giving it only 4 stars is because everytime I make bread the bowl gets stuck in the base of the machine and it is super tough to get it out for cleaning, since it does not have a handle you can't get a good grip.I'll end up buying a bowl with a handle for bread making purposes but I wish all of the bowls had handles on them.Other than that the machine is wonderful, strong and I am sure it will last a very long time.
I LOVE my kitchenaid
I LOVE my kitchenaid.It has made everything easier from shredded cheese to cutting veggies and grinding meat.It also makes the lightest and most fluffy chocolate chip cookies anyone could hope for.Powerful but not real loud, I was raised with this machine and then I bought my own.My Grandmother used it to make her bread and now I do too.There isn't much it can't do.Make sure to get the accessories, because you will use them.Durable in a variety of sizes and colors, this is a must have for any kitchen. I have had mine for several years without a problem and my Grandma has had hers for a long long time (almost since she was married) and the same, no problems. ... Read more

Use these lightweight plastic tubes to stuff your home-ground meats into natural casings for hand-made sausages. The small tube shoots out breakfast-sausage-size links; the larger one is great for boudin blanc, Italian sausage, and more. Each works in conjunction with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment, and the set comes with instructions for handling and stuffing casings. Tubes are dishwasher-safe. Read more

• Use with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment to expand a stand mixer's flexiblity
• Ideal for making homemade bratwurst, kielbasa, and Italian or Polish sausage

• All parts dishwasher safe for easy clean-up
• Can be used with any KitchenAid stand mixer

Another excellent attachment for your Kitchenaid
If you have never considered making your own sausage, reconsider it.This sausage stuffer pays for itself after the first couple uses (provided you already have the food grinder attachment).Anyone who has ever been to Europe knows that Americans have been getting fed tasteless sausage forever.It doesn't have to be that way.You download hundreds of high quality sausage recipes and buy casings from the internet and make your own.
Hole to small - Metal not plastic.
Can't use this stuffer. First, there was a sharp lip on the stuffer and I could not get the casings over it. When I finally did I had a hard time slidding the casing up because the plastic surface was to rough. The hole size was also to small. In my opinion the part should be made out of metal, which is smother. I ended up using my old hand crank unit.

Works great, but ask KithcenAid for the Wood Stomper
Love the food grinder, hate the new 1-piece stomper tool.You have to call the manufacturer to get a free wood stomper mailed to you which works better.They have gotten a lot of complaints.The plastic stomper is hard to use with the big end, plus, it sucks liquid back out of the grinder, causing the food to be dry. ...

Editorial Review

Equipped with an exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor, this versatile appliance is a combination hand mixer and hand blender. For mixing, beating, and whipping, there are two cunningly designed beaters that produce volume while reducing splashing. For kneading, there's a strong dough hook, and for blending, there's an attachment that can be used in the accompanying 2-cup container (or any container) for small jobs like salad dressings. For chopping, the power unit attaches to another container with its own blades to make quick work of nuts, onions, hard cheeses, herbs, garlic, and meats. (The container's base serves as a snap-on plastic lid for storage.) The mixer/blender has three speeds and a power-pulse button for working through tough jobs. It stands upright on a nonskid base, and its power cord pivots to stay out of the way or can be locked in place. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defects. Read more

Features

• Four attachments: mix/whip beaters, kneading hook, blender, chopper
• Exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor
• Three speeds plus power-pulse button
• Stands upright on nonskid base

Great for small batches of baby food!
I would give this mixer 5 stars, except that I need to buy my third mixer in 11 years. Its nice to have one tool that is a mixer, can make healthy fruit smoothies, AND can make small batches of homemade baby food. I used this small chopper to make baby food for all 4 of my kids, the mixer to make cakes and other things, and the blender for smoothies for the kids. If you have babies, or plan on having them, this is great to have. The bad thing, is that the motor burns out. I don't feel I abuse it, or overuse it, but my first mixer burned out in about 5 years, my second in another 5 years. This is not a long term appliance. My current multimix is a 280 watt, but my first one was smaller wattage I believe.

Very good mixer for the price
I must admit that I did not have high expectations for this mixer for the price.But the unit works very well.I was initially put off by the beaters as they seem very lightweight and flimsy.But they hold up well to use in spite of their lack of heft.I have been very happy with it.

Wife loves it
Our 15 year old Braun hand mixer was giving up the ghost, so looked through the mixers on Amazon.This mixer had by far the best feedback.Bought it, and everyone is right.This is a great product.Not the most expensive, but works well.Attachments actually work and are useful. ... Read more

Not compatible with European stand mixers
Great disappointment. That summarizes my experience with this attachment.
Amazingly easy to use, and wonderful quality in all ways.
Tonight I made my first bundle of ice cream using this item.
Great Ice Cream Maker
This ice cream Maker is "GREAT".The fact that I can use an industrial motor (my kitchen Aid mixer) is fantastic.It is my belief that the ice cream maker itself is as near perfect as you can get, contrary to other reviews.If you read the description and instructions, you will find that it is not the biggest maker on the market AND that it does EXACTLY what it says it will...IT MAKES "GREAT" ICE CREAM. ...

This assortment of attachments makes your KitchenAid stand mixer as flexible as a Swiss army knife. You get the food grinder, the slicer and shredder, and the fruit and vegetable strainer. Pull out the first and you're grinding meat, breadcrumbs, and more; the second churns out sliced vegetables for potato chips, coleslaw, and the like, or shredded potatoes for hash browns; and the third has you whipping up apple butter in a snap. Each has its own instruction booklet, with tips and recipes. An excellent gift set for your favorite stand-mixer fan. Read more

i love these attachments.i use the shredder the most with the garden.it's the best electric shredder i've ever used!thanks!

Works Great!
So far we have only used one of the attachments and it works great.We have used the shredder and it is perfect for making things like slaw...

Kitchen Aid quality - cheapened slightly by the new plastic pusher
The items seem solid and well designed as expected, although the new plastic plunger seems to cheapen the package. It is marketed as being more convenient and sanitary, but the wood gave it a quality touch. Another courseness screen for the strainer attachment would be welcome, and its recommended limitations in the literature seem a little offputting (niagara grapeskins (yes) versus concord (no)!?. ...

Mixer Looks Brand New
I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it.It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new.I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift.It was on her gift registry at a chain store.I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest.The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes.It, too, looks brand new.I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape.I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen.Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!
Artisan refurbished
I bought it with augsaver and free shipping a deal!
Great machine, great price
Although not a huge motor, this machine does great not only for home use; but this is the 3rd one I've bought in the past few years for restaurants I work in. If you're going to make a lot of bread doughs or do a lot of grinding you'll probably want the bigger motor; but otherwise this one should do everything you want.

Editorial Review

This electronic stand mixer beats cake or bread dough, leaving your hands free for other food preparation tasks. The powerful motor has 12 easy-to-set speeds that can handle any mixing task. You can knead dough or stir ingredients on the lower speeds, smooth batters or mash potatoes on the medium speeds, and whip cream or prepare frosting on the highest speeds. An electronic sensor detects how large your quantities are and adjusts the speed up or down automatically to accommodate larger or smaller loads. The mixer comes with 1-1/2-quart and 4-quart stainless-steel bowls that are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Both bowls rotate on the mixer’s turntable during operation for more even blending. The mixer also has two beaters that are large in size, leaving little batter on the sides of the bowl to scrape down. Two heavy-duty dough hooks are included for making bread. A release button easily ejects the beaters or hooks for cleanup. Made of lightweight plastic and fairly compact in size, this mixer is easier to lift and store in a cabinet than some of the heavier cast-iron stand mixer models. This appliance is covered by West Bend under a 90-day warranty. Read more

• Powerful 12-speed electronic stand mixer
• Easy-to-use speed control; automatic bowl rotation

Very Pleased!
I was glad I had purchased the West Bend 41027 12-Speed Electronic Stand Mixer. I was only familiar with the KitchenAid and others but this brand was new to me. I was pleased with the super packaging of he Mixer--it was well protected from damage. I have used it once so far and I believe I have gotten value for what I paid for it. I love the stainless steel bowl. A really good buy for me.
Perfect mixer
This mixer is just what I was looking for.I searched for several months to find a mixer that wasn't big, bulky and heavy.This one is lightweight for ease in moving and storage, but very sturdy, when in use. The weighted stainless steel bowls help keep it in place nicely.I'll never have to worry about the bowls breaking.The mixer is VERY quiet and does an excellent job mixing.With it's streamlined design, it is easy to clean.My daughter has has had this same mixer for a couple of years and has never had a problem with it.I was so happy to find it at Amazon, because it was no longer available locally.

It's great and it comes apart for easy cleaning. It can even blend up peanut butter dough with ease. ... Read more

Editorial Review

With a 225-watt motor for accomplishing tough jobs, this compact hand mixer provides power and versatility. Two sets of stainless-steel beaters--traditional flat-bladed and easy-cleaning wire--and a whisk for whipping cream and beating egg whites come with the mixer, and six speeds are available by pushing a button atop the handle with your thumb. In addition, just below the speed control, there is another thumb-activated button, which Hamilton Beach calls the QuickBurst. This button provides an extra charge, available at any speed, for powering through tough tasks. Other attributes include a rest so the mixer can hang on a bowl's edge instead of messing up the counter with dripping beaters or whisk, a flat platform on the mixer's end so it stands up for compact storage, a tangle-free cord, and dishwasher-safe beaters and whisk.

• Powerful 225-watt motor

Portable Hand Mixer
I wanted a portable mixer to be able to grab in a hurry.This works fine and is perfect for which I wanted it.If I need something bigger I use my Kitchen Aid on a stand.Nice quality for the price.I like the way the cord is stored.

#1 speed setting too fast
OK, for twenty bucks it works reasonably well.We like the storage container to hold the attachments.But if you're looking for a lower speed to blend ingredients like flour or pancake mix, buy something else.The #1 speed setting is way too fast.Anything higher than #4 will decorate your kitchen walls "at no extra charge".

Works well
I cook for a family of 5.

Not designed correctly.
I wanted a shield to allow easy addition of ingredients to the mixer, but this one is not designed well enough to facilitate it.
love kitchenaid!
this shield really makes using the mixer a lot easier.i love the fact that this shield doesn't have a removable shoot.i've used others that did and the crack where it connects makes it messy to use it for liquids.

If you have a passion for perfectly prepared pasta, try making your own delectable lasagna noodles, fettuccine, or linguine fini with this pasta roller set that fits all KitchenAid stand mixers. The three attachments include a pasta roller, a fettuccine cutter, and a linguine fini cutter. Just prepare pasta dough and form it into small rectangles which are then fed into one of the attachments. Out come uniform lasagna noodles, fettuccine, linguine, or angel hair pasta. The pasta can be enjoyed fresh or frozen or dried for later. Complete directions, cooking tips, and recipes are included, though cleaning the attachments can be a bit of a challenge, as they can't be washed in water, and any dried-on pasta particles must be removed with the included cleaning brush and toothpicks.

• Stainless-steel set includes pasta roller, fettuccine cutter, and linguine fine cutter
• Fit all KitchenAid stand mixers
• Clean with included wooden cleaning brush and toothpicks

Excellent product
I purchased this about 7 or 8 months ago and because I desired to make my own pasta.I began using the roller without experience.The first time I used it, I made ravioli, which was very delicious.The part I've never been good at is making the dough, and I finally found a good book called The Pasta Bible by Rizzi et al. That book helped me, but I'm still not perfect.The dough recipes always seem to require too much flour.
Home made = Wonderful
These could not be easier to use, the instruction easier to understand or the pasta more fresh! I find I can actually make fresh pasta about as fast as I can make dry.Get the water on the stove at the same time you make the pasta dough.By the time the water boils you are rolling the pasta.Wonderful.
Excellent accessory
We've had this for a couple of years now: excellent, high quality product.

Editorial Review

This attachment turns your KitchenAid stand mixer into a citrus juicer, eliminating the need for a second appliance that would take up valuable kitchen storage and counter space. Its four parts--heavy-duty aluminum shaft, reamer, shield, and strainer--are easy to assemble and attach to the stand mixer's powerful motor. Turn the mixer speed to level 6, and the reamer maintains a fast and steady spin. Press your fruit halves against it, and the juice pours out. You do have to exert a bit of pressure to extract all of the juice, but it's certainly not difficult to use. The strainer basket holds back the pulp and seeds as the juice flows into your pitcher.

Works great
The cirtus juicer works great (like all Kitchen Aid products) but it's pricy by the time you pay $8 to ship it. However my local outlet mall wanted over $30 for it plus tax...

Fantastic juicing device
After reading reviews here, I was skeptical of this juicer attachment.But upon receipt I got busy with some lemons and had a great time!It was easy to use and did a wonderful job!Love it!

• 10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job, from very high to very slow stir.
• The flat beater, dough hook, and professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer.
• Soft Start mixing feature helps prevent ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at startup. "Overload Reset" helps eliminate overheating of the motor.A Hinged Hub Cover flips up allowing easy installation of attachments and never leaves the mixer.
• Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

Corrections to Amazon Description
It comes with a wide bowl not narrow.
This is an excellent mixer and an amazing price.
I like too bake, particularly cookies and cakes.I bought this mixer because our old Sunbeam was showing its age and Vacation Bible School was coming up.Kids require lots of cckies, you know.I was not at all disappointed in this mixer.It does its job very well.I did buy the pour shield from an Amazon vendor however.I would advise anyone buying this mixer to get the pour shield.It makes the mixer so much more versatile.Just make sure to get the right one.
Not a Scratch
Ordered for girlfriend, the mixer came without any sign of use at all.Included the three mixer attachments, which appeared brand new, and book.Before you use the mixer be sure the bowl is pushed down and locked in the back of the stand (in addition to the two arm anchors) other the mixer will scrape and you will blemish your mixing attachments.

Product Info regarding gear housing upgrade from KitchenAid
Due to the very high number of complaints about the problems people were having with heavy duty tasks (which is what the mixer should have been made for!) due to cheap plastic housing holding the heavy duty metal gears, I contact KitchenAid to find out if this design flaw has been fixed.It has been and here is their response (note that they are saying that if you receive one of the models with the plastic housing they will replace it under warranty with the new metal housing.It is also important to note that the people who've had the problem have almost all stated that KitchenAid had great customer service and replaced their mixers with no ones with no problems.
Tasty Treats - Mix them UP!
I have had this model for about 4-5 years.Before I purchased this I had a 5-quart KitchenAid Artesian mixer that I got for a wedding present in 1992.
Don't put the beater in the dishwasher
Wow.The beater and dough hook are "burnished aluminum" and you CAN'T PUT EITHER ONE IN THE DISHWASHER!I have read that you can get coated ones, but people then complain that the coating comes off in the food.
