Great price-Great mixer!
We got this mixer a couple years ago from Amazon. It is a factory reconditoned model and we have had no problems at all with it. The bowl looked like it had been used before, but it would have looked that way after the first time I used it anyways. For the great deal I got, it was really no big deal. Glad a took a chance and tried a reconditioned model. I use it for everything and have no complaints. My favorite small applicance I have had my reconditioned KitchenAid Professional series mixer for a year now and I absolutely love it. It is the best small appliance I have ever owned. I love the fixed mixing bowl! It is great for making bread dough and cookies. I bought one for my daughter and she says it is the best gift she has ever received. I read one reader's comment about the noise and I don't agree. Mine makes noise, but it isn't as shrill as my handheld mixer. I love the sound of it working. Recommend you buy the plastic shield, it does tend to make the flour fly. Great Product I bought the KA Pro Series 5 quart, red, reconditioned. At first I was hesitant to purchase this mixer. I have bought other reconditioned items without much luck. However, this KA mixer is an exception for sure. We have had it for some time now and have used it constantly to make bread, cakes, cookies and tons of other things. (My partner is a pastry chef and culinary student.) Not once has this mixer even hesitated. We have another (brand name) mixer which stalls completely when I load it with bread dough...not the KA..it doesn't even heat up...it just plows through the task and doesn't skip a beat. I wouldn't trade it for any other mixer. I don't think anyone could go wrong buying one of these recon mixers...or at least that's my experience. My greatest kitchen purchase... I really just wanted a dough mixer, and once I got this machine I realized it was capable of SO much more. Kitchenaid puts expandability to their mixers that rules the kitchen. Now, I'm making pasta, milling grain and making ice cream as well as shredding items for cooking. Love it. Sure, a tiny bit loud on STIR, but withy mine I wouldn't rate it at anywhere near 'ear piercing' or worrisome. Can barely hear it from outside of the kitchen. A blender makes more noise. REALLY REALLY LOUD I have just called today to get a second replacement for the refurbished kitchen aid I purchased a month ago. The first was really loud and growly, but the second one is really loud and ear-piercingly annoying. It is hard to even be in the same room with it on. The Kitchen Aid person I spoke will said they are all noisy due to metal gears. Let's just hope the next replacement is tolerable or I spent an awful lot on a lemon. | |
