Not happy with this machine Wanted one for ages finally saved up enough money First time I used it the mixer wouldn't spin and made terrible noise with smoke coming out rang kitchenAid they were nice and said send it back and we will repair it I`m sorry first use and doesn't work and they want to repair it??? Rang shop where I purchased and they are swapping for a new one Hope the new one works better

I use my mixer at least 4 times a week. I find the bowls ( I have the glass and the metal) are a great size. The bowl scraper attachment is great. The motor runs smoothly even after 10 minutes of kneading brioche dough. I would be lost without it. Have had it for nearly 5 years now and it is still like new.

I have had this mixer for five years. I have a number of attachments including pasta maker, pasta extruded, grain mill, ice cream maker, sausage maker, mincer, fruit juicer, and so on.

Frankly it is used all the time and performs superbly. The funny thing is that a daughter bought one and I suggested there were better mixers on the market. I was wrong.

The motor is strong enough for pretty well all domestic use. The size of the bowl is adequate. The attachments are all used and save a lot of time.

I highly recommend this machine

I brought this for my partner and she has already used it a couple of times and she loves it - I also got her an attachment that goes with the Kitchen aid - this came with a promotion, whish was good - and she is that excited that we brought another attachment - now she wants to buy more of the attachments that are available.

i bought my kitchen aid in 2009 so coming up to 10 years it has been through a lot of work but still is great. So easy to use, especially if you are a baker. would highly recommend. never really needed other attachments they seem too expensive and i wouldn't use a pasta maker or ice cream maker much.

My wife and myself purchased the kitchenaid after our last mixer died. The kitchaid has been through the hoops in making well over 100 birthday cakes, making bread and even mincing alot of meat and its still going strong and i cannot fault it 1 single bit. This is one unit that has exceeded my expectations and is unreal

It took a while and a lot of research but I bought the KitchenAid Ksm160. It comes with 2 bowls so if you need to mix two things like egg whites and batter you don’t have to muck about with transferring to different bowls and the washing it etc. Also the attachments sold me. I have the ice cream bowl, the mincer, the vegetable slicer and grater plus the spiraliser atttachment. I’ve made bread, pizza bases using the dough hook, beaten many cake batters and whisked a tone of eggs. I see this as more than a mixer and am very happy with my purchases. Looking forward to seeing what new attachments they bring out.

The bowl, the motor, the mixing is awesome. Customer service is the worst I ever encountered. 25 days to respond to an email and still waiting another 20 days later for another response. I would never again choose this product based on the level of customer service. Paying top dollar I not only expect a product that is fantastic (which it is) I expect a level of service.

Bought this product 3 months ago. The whisker is made from an unstable aluminium alloy which releases a toxic powder when touched. KitchenAid are refusing a refund despite photo evidence as they do not want to admit to selling a faulty product. Would not recommend buying due to the high risk of toxicity.

Great machine, seems sturdy and well put together. It works amazing for everything pastry related.
However when it comes to dough, and more specifically dough with high hydration level, then it's not the best.
The 'hook' used for kneading works well only with normal hydration dough.
A better choice would be to get the pro or commercial which I think have a 'spiral' instead of a 'hook' which is much better for kneading.
Apart from that it's been a great machine so far.

I bought this product mainly for dough making and my experience has been great so far. Machine is quite. Cleaning is also very easy. Mixing bowl is made of steel so it’s light weight and unbreakable. The machine is sturdy and comes in variety of colours. I bought silver colour and I am satisfied with the build quality and operation.

Was given mixer as a Christmas present, unable to claim free attachment offer via online at the time so sent a letter with a copy of my receipt explaining this, and then lodged the online claim form on the 1.1.18 which was apparently 1 day to late. Have been told by customer service sorry we can't help you, never received your letter and you are too late, any good company who cares about their customers would have handled this situation very differently. Never experienced this bad attitude from any other big company, they won't be getting any more of my business.

Love this mixer, I use it every week to make muffins and bread and it is just superb! It is expensive but it it the best! All the parts are very good quality, can't live without it! Very easy to use and clean, very robust, perfect size as I bake a lot. Highly recommended, had it for almost 4 years and still going strong. Great product!

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.

I recently bought a brand new KSM150 to make bread regularly and was under the impression this was fit for purpose. I also purchased the matching glass bowl & spiraliser attachment. However after a few batches I am skeptical of the longevity of the product, the mixer head shakes and moves while kneading dough, the glass bowl is very hard to fit and screw to the mixer compared to the stainless bowl and the ring on the bottom of the glass bowl is almost impossible to remove once it's been screwed on then lock in stand mixer.
