KitchenAid Stand Mixer 5.5qt



KitchenAid 550 HD
I got this as a Christmas gift less than 6 months ago. I use it on a daily basis between corn tortilla dough, cake and cornbread batter, grating cheese, meats and veggies, frosting and fondant mixing. I have had NO problems with this mixer, it performs very well every time and I've never had the motor stall. I just ordered the mill and ice cream making attachments after finding the grating attachment so useful. I am a professional chef/baker and this product is used in my student kitchen at the university as well.

Heavy Duty WIDE bowl, 575 Watts power
I bought my mixer from Costco, i bought this model because of the wattage and the big bowl. It has served me well. I have used it to make bread doughs, cookies, cheese cake, pizza dough, I love this machine, its very powerful. You'll love it too! I had a Jenn Aire Mixer, but i burned it up. This mixer handles everything wonderfully.

whipped cream only
I have an old kitchen aid from when they were made be Hobart. It's a pretty good machine. It's lasted a long time. The new ones, and I have a lot of experience with them, are not really good machines. Any stiff dough, i.e pizza, bread, pasta, will break the machine. metal filings will come out and fall all over. ..What are these mixers for? Only cake batter and whipped cream? It does not make sense to me to put out a product that is not able to do what it was designed to do. I would think that this kind of a mixer is mostly sold to avid cooks. I can rarely get 6 months out of one before it breaks down. I have to learn to never make pasta in them. They just can't handle it. And that is after using at least a dozen different ones. It is not just one defective one.
