KitchenAid KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer, KSM70SKXX

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted a 7qt stand mixer for years so my husband bought me one for our 25th wedding anniversary and I absolutely love it. I have a 25 year old tilt head 4.5 qt mixer which is still going strong but it could not handle making bread dough. My new mixer handles the bread dough with no problem. It's more powerful and has more and better attachments included. I love the color and the slow speed for mixing in flour and not having it fly everywhere. I make bread dough at least twice per week without it struggling to mix the dough. I wished I hadn't waited so long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mixer after first use! It was a difficult to attach the bowl to the mixer on the first attempt and required some wrestling but once secured, was fine. The raise/lower motion screeched the first few times but has quieted down — I think it was just a tight fit. The beater and whip work much better on this model than on my prior mixers. This is my 4th KitchenAid and is the best.
