Found the 7-qt mixer too large for single batches of cookies, bread or icing, since it pushes the mix up the side and needs lots of scraping.

Their Artisan 5-qt (SM150) works fine at higher speeds but has an oscillating hunting noise at low speeds, which a repair reply diagnosed as a worn speed control plate.

Has used their 5-quart tilt-head mixer for years for bread and pretzel dough, and finds it handles small batches of bread dough very well.

Regularly makes pizza dough from scratch in their Artisan 5-quart mixer.

Their fairly new KSM70 7-quart bounces and shakes at high speed with a small amount in the bowl, and they were told it needed the dime test.

After about ten years of bread making, their Professional's head fell off: the planetary shaft's press fit had failed, a known flaw of that model type.

Has had both a Pro 600 bowl-lift and an Artisan tilt-head for about ten years; the Artisan handles cake batters just fine, while triple or quadruple cookie batches go in the Pro 600.

Has used KitchenAids since the 1990s, a Professional 6 since the early 2000s and a 7 quart since 2023, and says they have all been workhorses.

Loves their Artisan and finds their mum's bowl-lift model harder to work with.

Runs a small macaron business with more than ten KitchenAid mixers of many models and finds them nearly indestructible; the Artisan is their favourite model.

Their entry 4.5 qt 300 W tilt-head has worked for 7 years, cream on speed 10 and bread on 2, but speeds 9 and 10 now run the same.

Loves the Costco 6-qt lift and never regretted it, using it for anything from one egg to full batches.

Their pink Artisan, a birthday present two years ago, disappointed from day one: the motor sounded like it would die on basic cookie dough and the bowl kept unlatching, breaking two glass bowls, and a replacement base plate from customer service didn't help.

Having owned both, they say the Classic is clearly not as robust as the Artisan.

Their favourite is the Artisan, which has been going strong for their bread baking for over 20 years.

Very happy with the 5.5 qt bowl-lift they bought last year; they make sourdough with it weekly, up to 1 kg of flour, with no issues.

No problems with the app on an iPhone. It automates mixing, heating, or stirring for set times, so prepping or cleaning can continue. The app isn't required to use the machine.

Love it this year. It functions absolutely fine without the app, which wasn't a selling point at all.

Bought a Costco lift mixer to complement their tilt-head and found it a total piece of crap, so they returned it and bought one elsewhere that worked much better.

Bought this Sam's Club bowl-lift and calls it junk for bread: a trained baker, they have to babysit it on doughs for fear of overheating, the hook often won't grab the dough, and the bowl-height screw needs fiddling.

Bought the Costco 6-qt lift mixer last year for $200; it lacked a spring washer, the metal beater does not mix well or scrapes the bowl, and the manual limits kneading to two minutes, but they don't regret the price.

Has had the Costco 6-qt lift for a few years and uses it for pizza dough all the time without an issue.

Reddit · r/KitchenAid · 29 days ago

Bought the Costco 6-qt lift last year, has used the heck out of it with zero issues, and prefers bowl lift to tilt-head.

Bought a 5.5-qt lift from Sam's a few years ago at a deep discount and says it has done everything they have asked of it.
