KitchenAid used to be synonymous with top-quality kitchen equipment and was worth every (over-priced) penny. That’s gone down the drain. This is a decent little mixer, but it just looks and feels cheap. My biggest quality complaints:* The silver strip with the brand name going around the tilt-head portion isn’t actually attached. It’s just tacked on somewhere on the back, clacks and moves around if you tap it, and good luck getting flour out of it if you get a puff of dry ingredients from the bowl.* They are apparently too cheap to include a spring on the beater head attachment anymore, but this model at least feels like they fit more securely than my other larger bowl-lift model.* The power switch knob thing is basically unusable if you’re a lefty. Don’t ask me how the heck they managed this, but it glides perfectly fine with almost no effort if I use my right hand and not at all (without difficulty and changing the angle my hand moves) with my left.Pros:* Unlike my 5-quart bowl lift (KV25G0X), this one does *not* sound like an airplane taking off with a rock stuck in the engine. It’s much quieter, like my old classic tilt-head model that finally died a few years ago.* Unlike the bowl lift model, this one can perfectly handle creaming a single stick of butter to start a recipe, and the flex-edge beater is AWESOME at getting ingredients fully mixed. I just have to stop and scrape the sides (mostly the bottom) once or twice instead of multiple times. (Can you tell I’m not impressed with the bowl-lift one?)* It’s just the right size for a single batch of cookie dough, casserole for a 9×9 pan, or 1-2 loaf bread recipe; perfect for an individual, smaller kitchen, or if you’re like me, for smaller batches that your bigger mixer can’t handle. (I don’t typically do yeast dough so that’s 1-2 loaves of pumpkin or banana bread.)In addition to the quality issues above, my biggest pet peeve is the design of the flex head beater in regards to being able to clean it thoroughly. There are defined, poorly-smoothed seams where the rubber portion is sealed over the metal (?) beater. They’re a pain to clean and require taking a scrubbing brush to them to ensure all the batter is gone. I’m kind of okay with that in tradeoff for how well they mix, though, and they’re still easier to clean than any of the blades in my food processor. :)I almost gave up on KitchenAid after my poor experience with the bowl-lift mixer, but I’m glad I gave this one a try. I certainly wouldn’t buy it except on sale, though. There’s no way I would pay the $330-$380 it’s currently listing for.

I’ve always wanted a stand mixer with the whisk, paddle, and bread hook. This is a solid, heavy unit that works well and is easy to operate. Four stars because the first time I used it to make a cake I learned the bowl is just a little too deep to allow the paddle to reach all the ingredients. I emptied the bowl into the pan and found a bit of flour unmixed. Going forward I’ll have to stop the unit, raise the attachment, and scrape all the way to the bottom. Doable, but unnecessary IMHO. Have not used the bread or whisk attachments yet.

I was hoping to have an extra mixer to just grab, but this one is so very heavy I debated whether to keepIt. Because of it’s size I had to clear a spot in one of the waist-high cabinets. Haven’t used the mixer yet, however. If you want a light weight mixer theirs is NOT the one.

The ease and simplicity in using this is just amazing. The noise is so minimal when using it. It is the smallest of the mixers but performs like the big boys. I love it!!

Had larger mixer for 35 years, it died. So I purchased this 3.5 quart mixer. It cannot handle my chocolate chip cookie recipe and flour goes flying. Should have bought the larger one which is cheaper!

Not as big as a regular mixer so it saves counter space. Seems to work just as good though
