Love, love, love it!
Have been wanting one for a long time and finally gave in because the reconditioned was a good price. It looks and runs like brand new. No one knows the difference, even I forget. Kitchenaid Mixer Works great and costs only a fraction of an "off the shelf" mixer. Remember this is a PRO series mixer with all the beefier parts inside! Love it nearly as much as I love my mother. I've had the RRKP50 for approx. four months, and it has got more use than any other appliance I've ever had. It stirs, beats, whips, and kneads with a will!! Its ability to knead even the most stiff of doughs is reason enough to purchase it. I make a lot of pasta, and every week I make at least one batch of challah and the time and energy it saves me is incredible. The price of the reconditioned model is wonderful, the shipping was free, and one could never tell that it is a reconditioned model. The one thing I would suggest is to purchase the plastic guard thingy that goes over the mixing bowl, as you and your counters WILL be nailed by clouds of flour when mixing a recipe with a lot of dry ingredients. Love my new stand mixer!! The day it came I got out my hardest to mix up cookie recipe that I make at Christmas time - it usually takes me 45 min to an hour to get all the ingredients mixed up well. I was able to get the dough ready to drop on the cookie sheets within 15 minutes. I have never made home made bread before, I tried a couple recipes in the cookbook that was included and it came out perfect. I absolutely love this machine, I was trying to decide where I could store it, it is quite heavy so anything over my head where all my other countertop appliances are is out of the question. Since I use it a couple times a week and it is soooo pretty I just leave it out. It was an incredible value, I saw a Kitchenaid on sale at WalMart for the same price - it was only 3 qt (mine is 5) the motor is only 250 watts (mine is 400) so I definitely got the better value. The warrenty is good for only 6 months instead of 12 so make sure you use all the features and attachments as soon as possible. I don't think you will find anything wrong with it, mine is as good as new! Not dishwasher safe! Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid Professional HD Series 5 Quart Bowl Lift Stand Mixer, Silver There was a significant blemish on the side but it is reconditioned, otherwise it has worked well so far. My only real complaint to date is that I put the blender attatchment in the dishwasher and it ruined it. I didn't realize that it had some sort of coating on it which came off when it was in the dishwasher. I'm irriated because it said that it was dishwasher safe but it definitely isn't. | |
