Heavy Duty 5.2 L Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer

Got a Sam's Club 5.5 qt bowl lift for Mother's Day 2020 and has worked it mercilessly with bread and pasta dough without a hiccup.

Their new 5.5 qt struggled and sounded strained on a double batch of brioche.

Says the 5.5-quart bowl lift is the same as the pricier 7-quart but with smaller accessories, and their predecessor lasted 17 years.

Bought a 5.5 quart Sam's Club bowl lift last year for baking multiple loaves of bread at once.

Loves their 5.5 qt bowl lift and never has to scrape the bowl, regularly making cookie, bread and pasta dough.

Loves their KSM55 for cookies, cakes, mashed potatoes and doughs, finding its motor stronger and quieter than their sister's Artisan.

Bought a refurbished KSM55 bowl-lift in Agave and loves its power, making dough for 10 pizzas for pizza night; only drawback is no optional bowl sizes.

Switched from a 4.5 qt tilt-head to a 5.5 qt bowl-lift for lots of dough and calls it a gamechanger.

Their KSM55, bought new under two years ago, stops if the speed is raised more than one step too slowly.

Got a refurbished 5.5 qt bowl-lift that was basically new; it has more power than a tilt-head for heavy cookie and bread dough and doesn't bounce around.

Bought a two-year-old KSM55 second-hand and found three of its internal gears had crumbled, needing a new motor.

Has had a KSM55 from Mr. Mixer for a year without an issue.

Bought a new 5.5 qt bowl-lift three years ago, uses it a couple of times a week and calls it a buy for life.

Happy with their 5.5 qt bowl-lift and its spiral dough hook, which works far better than the C hook, though no silicone-edged scraper they found would scrape its bowl properly.

Their KSM55 bought in October 2023 has developed vertical play in the beater shaft after a few years of heavy sourdough use.

Got a good deal on a newer 5.5 qt bowl-lift but wouldn't buy it again knowing older bowl-lifts can be refurbished; still uses it for bread.

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.

Loves their 5.5 qt bowl-lift and has made many batches of cookies, loaves of bread and pizzas with it; not a purchase they regret.

Their first impression of a brand-new KSM55 bowl-lift was how loud the motor is.
