Great mixer.
Very powerful especially for thicker mixtures like biscuits etc.
Beats eggs very well and very quickly.
Comes with many great attachments with a greay variety of extra attachments for purchase.
Large mixing bowl is plenty big enough for double batches of cookie dough etc

I have various attachments for this mixer and use the drum kit for grating and shredding the most. It is expensive and I would have kept adding to this, but a bad experience with aftercare turned me away from the brand so I no longer buy kitchen aid. Expensive products like this that dont followup with good aftercare are not worth the price premium

This mixer saves so much time, and it's very easy to use. The spiraliser attachment in particular is great, and so far the KSM156 has easily handled everything from making dough to spiralising hard veggies like carrots.
Its size and weight would be my only complaints - not super practical for apartment living.

Bought this one to replace my old one that was over ten years old. It was still going but developed a problem that i should have just got fixed but i thought i will just get a new one .Its just a good as the old one wouldn't be with out one now.I also have the pasta maker, Spiralizer Attachment and the Food Processor Attachment and these all work well with the mixer .It came with the Flat beater, stainless steel wire whisk, dough hook and the glass bowl love the fact i can now see what im doing .also all of my old attachments and bowls work on the new model

I purchased this mixer after my hand mixer died, and I am so glad I did. It sits proudly on the bench top, and I use it almost every day. So far it has done everything that I have asked of it beautifully and quietly - I just made my first ever pavlova from scratch, and I think it's a beauty! I purchased the spiraliser attachment with it that the kids love, although I haven't yet worked out how to do absolutely everything with it yet. very glad I purchased this mixer, and the glass bowl is not all that heavy, as some may say - I prefer it to stainless.

It is quite pricey compared to other brands. I have not purchased the extra attachments yet, but the three attachments with the standard package are good enough for the daily bakery. Hopefully, the price of the machine can be more affordable. I will recommend it to other people because of its strong power.

My Kitchen Aid came with the glass bowl and 4/5 attachments. I have been using the cake beating and dough making attachments regularly and they have been great - it is easy to clean, easy to attach and detach parts, it's not too noisy and looks great on the kitchen bench top!

If you are an older person beware of the weight of the glass mixing bowl/jug. I find it difficult to manage when transferring ingredients into a baking tin. The stainless steel one would be easier to manage. The retailer didn't consider it necessary to point this out to me, instead a sale was the most important ingredient. Now at a cost of A$100 the stainless steel jug is over and above the $799 already paid.

Got a KitchenAid KSM156 from David Jones with 20% off. Great deal as well. Looks beautiful in my kitchen.

I used the machine every week. I tried dozen of receipts already and all with much better results. I also ordered a meat grinder which is solid and easy to clean.

It works perfect for one bread/pizza dough (about 500-600g flour), bit struggling for two dough once. But it is not a big issue for domestic usage.

As l love cooking and baking for my family I was so excited to purchase my new Kitchen Aid to replace my old Kenwood of 39 years Best investment ever, i cannot believe how quiet and powerful this machine is . My cakes are better than ever I am thinking of entering my Ginger Fluff Sponge in the next Adelaide Show Go KitchenAid you rock

We use our machine regularly and last weekend made 5 roll up Pavlovas the result were perfect, the mixture was beaten smooth and consistent and if you follow the instructions and scrape down the bowl occasionally it is next to perfect

I love this machine, it is truly amazing. Everything I have ever made comes out perfectly. Quite simply, the best mixer I have ever used (my last one was a sunbeam cafe series mixmaster which to be honest was a complete waste of money). We make a lot of macarons and they turn out perfectly with this machine. Never fails to please. I love it, especially the flex beater - a wonderful attachment.
Functionality accompanied by a sleek look.

I wanted an ice cream maker for years, but couldn't justify the expense of a one-trick pony... and the kitchenaid is the same - If you're looking to buy *just* a mixer, this is an expensive item. However, for anyone who does anything more than the basics, this is a really good tool and a worthy investment.

I got half of mine as a present, and I use it all the time. It's just so gorgeous too (mine is pink) and I can't wait to have a kitchen where it can sit on the bench where it belongs.
Design, colour range, versatility with the range of attachments
It's expensive if you want just a mixer
