Great purchase December 1, 2008
Deb (Florida)
I love this mixer. I've always used a hand held and there is no comparison. I originally wanted the tilt version but when this mixer arrived it was so tall (17") that when I placed it on my counter it just fit under the cabinets. With the tilt back style I would have had to pull it forward every time I wanted to remove the bowl. Not a problem with the lever style I don't have to move it at all. It is easy to use, I have no problem getting all the batter or whatever off the paddle. It is a workhors. It is great for baking recepies but I especially love it for meatloaf. It definately needs the shield to prevent splashing. I have only high praise for this product and wish I had bought it sooner.
Outstanding Kitchen Tool November 19, 2008

I came across this particular Kitchen Aid 10 Speed Mixer via Amazon's Gold Box Special. Listed at an incredible low price, this high speed jewel has more then paid for itself many times over. Packed with a heavy duty 325 watt motor, it easily handles both small and large batches of dough for homemade pizza crust and beer bread. Unlike the now retired Cusinart mixer, the beater actually touches every part of the bowl without additional scraping.
The textured black finish makes for an easy cleanup. High quality accessories include a stainless steel wire whip, pouring shield, dough hook, and paddle. It stands about 17" and takes up about a square foot in space. Weighing in at about 25 pounds it is not something that you plan to move from counter to counter. Precision built by the same great team that manufactures the commercial grade Hobart line, this excellent addition to the kitchen is a must have tool.
Best mixer ever made--everyone should have one November 19, 2008
Lisa Robinson (ga)
I have had this mixer for somewhere in the range of 16 yrs and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I was shocked when I bought it because, believe it or not, everything I cooked with came out so much better, especially cakes. I never expected it to affect the end product so much! Whenver one of my coworkers is getting married, I always take up money for a group gift to buy one of these mixers because I honestly believe no household should be without one. It will last a lifetime and then some. The only way anyone could get mine would be to pry it from my cold dead hands!
Sturdy and Powerful November 18, 2008

I need to be honest - my wife uses the mixer 90% of the time. However, I do know that she is thrilled with this product, because she tells me each and every time she uses it!
First of all it is a well-built piece of equipment. It is heavy and sturdy. The motor hums along without any noticabel whine. What this tells my inner-engineer is that thing has been built to last. I am very impressed with the overall construction, and I have no doubts that this product will last for 10+ years.
At first my wife was a little concerned that the head did not tilt back. However, after a few uses she found that she preferred the non-tilt variety, since it reduced messes and made it easier to clean (I am not sure what her logic is behind this - but she tells everyone not to buy a mixer with a tilting head).
As far as performance - it mixes everything she wants to mix. She has made cakes, cookies, and an assortment of other batters - none of which has posed a problem. My belief is that there is nothing you can put into this thing that it will not handle.
Clean-up - now here I have a lot of first-hand knowledge. It really is not that hard. You simply take the stainless steel bowl off the unit and rinse it under the sink. It is also easy to clean the unit itself - the black finish is resistant to fingerprints and doesn't look "messy" when left on the counter.
Pros-
- Great construction
- Variable speeds
- Plenty of Power
- Easy clean-up
Areas for improvement
- Well it is heavy. I am not sure how it can be "Sturdy" without being heavy. However, you definitely do not want to drop this thing on your toe... or your hardwood floors.
- Some people may prefer a unit with a tilting head.
Final tally - this is one of my wife's favorite purcahses since we have been married.
5 stars

This mixer is both stylish and powerful. It does everything I want it to do, and more! The price was very good, and the shipping was much faster than I thought. My only suggestion to anyone who wants a black mixer - remember that cookie dough and such are not black, so it requires some cleaning. But, I'm quite happy with it overall.
