The mixer lift is much better than the mixer-style stand that will consume the stand mixer bowl and tends to jump. I used to work together with a mixer-style stand, and I had to put all my weight on my forehead while I was bowl to keep the thing flying in the kitchen! The engine is super strong and I am very satisfied. Since I started doing everything we eat from scratch is nice to have this mixer great for saving me work hand mixing stiff dough, and so on. I noticed other people had problems with it. One person wrote that the bowl does not remain in place at all, must be broken in, if you look away from the mixer will see a metal rail that slides down into the bowl, the bowl where it meets the mixer is a core of metal, where it is supposed to snap She also said that the attachments in the dishwasher and they changed color The instructions say hand wash only! It was an absolute pleasure just opening the box came in. She came as the retailer and the brand new shiny red out. I look forward to years of use every day and I admire it in my kitchen! 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Not like the old, made the Hobart, but still high by PJM my 500 Pro, I use it for pizza dough at least twice a week to make, plus all those we love baking. Never a problem. Grind a little bit and makes noises that my old Kitchenaid Hobart never been built, but that's what you get when the current owner of Whirlpool rides on the reputation of age, instead of keeping it. Whirlpool KitchenAid mixer built no new quality or will never be anywhere near the life of the old Hobart-built ones. This is a fact. But they are still the best for the money, especially if you're too smart to pay retail. As far as "plastic" gears to go, this was in Kitchenaid mixer for many decades, has done nothing to do with your loved ones. There is only one non-metal speed, it is nylon, not plastic. Its purpose is designed to strip and not the whole problem is that instead of connecting to the motor and ruin. Without a nylon gear from a spoon into the blender would destroy the engine within seconds. Would you rather replace the engine or gearbox something? 16 of 18 customers found this review helpful. My first KitchenAid ML Fischer is a disappointment I purchased this machine last week and it arrived today. I have a batch of cookies on the bench and was a little disappointed. I knew if I ordered it, that does not tilt the head, but I did not know how it would be difficult to give the dish and to get ingredients. The slide of the flour is just a little, because the head and covers most of the bowl, it hard for me to add the flour, found. After three cups of flour, the engine started vibrating and the machine was grinding all over the counter I really had to hold it in place. Just let it mix for a minute or two. Once the mixture is done, he had to remove the mixer, which was completely covered with dough, the fight with him trying to get the mass finally abandon and remove the bowl with the mixer inside. After cleaning the blender, I still had to mix a little with the hand as the mixer does not reach the edges and bottom of the container. Overall, I think you may have a lemon with the machine had difficulty with a small amount of cookie dough. I understand that most people love these machines, so I'm willing to admit that I personally can not live up to their usual standards. I am sending this back but I'll try another KitchenAid. Mixer can not be the day my grandmother, but I still see consistently get higher ratings than other brands.
