| With 450 watts of power and a 5-quart bowl capacity KitchenAid's Professional 5 Plus stand mixer tackles big jobs. This factory-reconditioned machine prepares food for a crowd and ably handles tough mixes. Its body features durable die-cast metal construction and offers a direct-drive transmission and all-metal gears. The sturdy lifting mechanism uses a metal arm and steel lever to effortlessly raise an ingredient-filled bowl. The bowl itself features stainless steel construction, two pins to attach to the lifting arm, and an ergonomically designed handle for comfort during use. Ten speeds allow for everything from whipping egg whites to slow churning bread dough and the Soft-Start feature keeps power in check to prevent splashing and flour clouds. A unique mixing action spins the beater clockwise while the shaft spins counter clockwise; this results in an even blend. As a safety measure, the motor stops in the event of an obstruction or overloading. An integrated hub cover with hinge flips up to allow easy installation of attachments. A flat beater, wire whip, and dough hook come with purchase; additional pieces such as a citrus juicer or sausage stuffer can be purchased separately. The machine measures 16-1/2 by 12 by 14 inches, comes in a range of colors, and includes a 6-month warranty. Pop the bowl and beater in the dishwasher for cleaning and wipe the main body with a warm damp cloth. |
| This is a great product. This is the only mixer than can knead heavy dough with ease and not overheat. I used to hand knead and that was time consuming. It is a great device for anyone who wants to make breads, and even does Indian naan and tortilla dough with ease. I don't use it for regular egg beating etc. as it is heavy. Due to lack of counter space I store it under the counter and I'd rather not break my back bringing this out unless I really need it. That is the only reason it gets 4 stars, nothing to do with performance, just convenience and ease of use. I expect to use it for many years as it looks pretty solid. I opened this mixer and it was broken. I shipped it back. I did however order another and it was in great condition. I don't always like purchasing reconditioned things but got in on a great deal during a sale and so couldn't pass it up, as it ended up only like $30 more than a spare 6 qt bowl for my other Kitchenaid! So I got it as a second mixer and love it. Yeah its a little loud but that's fine, I think its supposed to sound that way. I prefer coated beaters because I'm lazy and like a dishwasher safe attachment but I can order one if I really want it. But the main thing is, this is just like brand new and you can't beat the price! |
