KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer with Accessories, KSM70SKXX

I'm soooooooooo pleased with this machine! My Kenmore of 22 years kicked the bucket 😢, so I needed another one asap, because using a hand mixer takes up too much of my time. With this machine I can multi-task by letting ingredients mix while I work on something else. It comes assembled, literally, the bowl was already attached. The size is just fine, not too small, not too big. The quality is great, which is a MUST for every business, and the value for the all that came with it was well worth it. It also doesn't have any problems so far which of course is fantastic.

Beautiful, and works better b than expected!!!!

I purchased this KitchenAid 7-quart mixer, in contour silver, at a sale price of $549. It stopped working about 3 minutes into mixing icing, only the second time I used it. Just STOPPED. I followed all of the troubleshooting guidelines, however, it still did not work. I checked my breaker, plugged it into different outlets, kept it unplugged for 30 minutes….all to no avail. There was no smell when it stopped. It wasn’t warm. I was just flabbergasted when it “quit”. I was so excited to be able to finally get this mixer. I had dreamed of having one for at least 20 years. I didn’t even get to use it for the tough jobs so many people brag about! I know this sounds melodramatic, but my dreams were sure shattered. I began the return process through Amazon. I saw an option of returning the defective mixer, and replacing it with another, same make and model. However, Amazon could not fulfill the request (no reason given) after I selected the option, probably because the mixer is no longer on sale. I will say, however, that the return process is seeming relatively easy. Luckily I had kept my box! FedEx will be picking it up at no (further!) cost to me. Packing the mixer back up was a beast of a job, but with my husband’s assistance, we were able to do it. As of right now, I am not sure I am going to order another one. I don’t want to go through that emotional turmoil again. I had been in the middle of making icing for my granddaughter’s birthday cake. Thank goodness my old, trusty Sunbeam Mixmaster got me through the remaining mixing. I did not review the ratings on this model before I purchased it because the KitchenAid (mixers) has always had such an outstanding reputation. I know people who have had their mixers for 25 years and they are still working perfectly. But now that I’ve had an opportunity to review the feedback from others on this particular model, I see that I am not the only one who had problems. It seems there are issues with the durability of the 7 quart mixer in general—many, many with this same exact problem. I’m not sure if it is just the batch that Amazon got or if other retailers have lemons too, but KitchenAid needs to do better. This was a tough disappointment. I was so excited when I received this beautiful mixer that I had dreamed of for so, so long. I can’t recommend a product that failed, therefore, my rating reflects that. This mixer failed during one of the easiest tasks possible for any mixer, let alone one that costs upward of $550.

First one that arrived - used once and stopped while I was using it. Kitchen Aide ( without question) Co sent out another one pronto, like always works great!

This is an amazing appliance. The candy apple read color is awesome. I highly recommend.

I can't say enough about this machine. My wife makes home made bread, so this machine is running all the time. We have owned it for about six months now and my wife couldn't be happier. I did toss the plastic accessories, and replaced them for stainless steel ones. For a country that complains about plastic contamination they sure import a lot of it. You can't buy a plastic straw, but all the new straws are (you guessed it) wrapped in plastic.

I have used kitchenAid mixers of this type for over 50 years. This is my third mixer, as the other two were replaced after about 25 years of use. I love my kitchenaid, but this one truly sucks. I started making my first batch of bread dough for rolls. I hadn't even added all the flour, maybe 6 1/2 out of 7 cups, and it just quit. The circuit is not tripped, the mixer is not even warm let alone hot, and the speed was only at 4. Yes, it says to do it at a 2, but I put it on 4 because I was in a hurry. I've made bread literally for over 50 years and this recipe specifically. I've always used a higher speed at the beginning when there was more liquid and I was adding the flour. This dough recipe makes a very wet dough, and it was not a stiff mix. I unplugged it, turned it off and on, checked the circuit breakers, etc. It's dead in the water. Now I have to wait until tomorrow because I can't talk to anyone over there because it is 3:17 p.m. here and 6:17 there and they close at six. I'm beyond disappointed. Did Kitchenaid just lose their edge in quality of their appliances? They used to be great! I will update if I hear from manufacturer or if something starts working. But this should never have happened. I know if it overheats it will quit for a bit till it cools off. But that is NOT what happened here. 30 minutes later, still off. :(. Whirlpool is sending a replacement. Blue us t available right now so I’ll get the silver.

Love this!! I make large batches of sourdough and bagels regularly and this mixer does the job perfectly with no motor strain. Easy to use and clean. The bowl locks in nicely. It’s a lifetime kitchen tool that is well worth the money. Breads, desserts, or dinners are simple to make in this mixer.

Going to be buried with it, just love it.

My recently purchased Kitchen Aid mixer arrived faulty. It started and switched off after 2-4 spins. I am very dissappointed and I wonder why wasn't the mixer checked before sending. After all it cost a lot od money! One could expect more quality from this brand.

I bought this because it was on for a great sale and also to replace my 27 yr old artisan one that died. I did have to get used to the fact that the head does not go up like my other one but other than that it is a great machine and I will always use kitchenaid mixers.

Il pétri la pâte du pain à merveille, très bon résultat en moins de temps qu,un pressage à la main. J'ai aussi fait d'autre type de pâtes et il fonctionne très bien. facile d'utilisation, le bol se nettoie sans effort.

I have owned KitchenAid products for years and it's all I trust in kitchen appliances other than my Vitamix. I originally bought the grey professional model many years ago and it never quit working, I decided to upgrade my kitchenAid because the newer models have much better beater attachments, the originals before use I had to wipe them several times because of a black residue that was some form of oxidation on the dough hook and beater attachment. The color is a soft aqua and sits on my kitchen countertop for daily use. I do notice a softer sound to the motor when working dough, so that is an improvement from the older model. I gave my older kitchenAid to my neighbor with the many extra accessories I purchased through the years and it still works perfect. I highly recommend the kitchenAid mixer, I also would recommend to keep with the professional models as they are the best for dough making or anything that could work the motor. The Artisan models are less expensive but you truly get what you pay for, they are not as powerful.
