Susan_K's Full Review: KitchenAid KP2671X 525 Watts Stand Mixer
My fiance bought this for me as a Christmas present to replace the hand-mixer I've been using for years. Because I do so much baking and cooking for dinner parties and for work he wanted to get me something that would not only be functional, but something I would always use.
I've used the mixer several times since then and I can't begin to tell you how quick and virtually quiet it is (my fiance couldn't hear the mixer going when he was in our loft which faces the kitchen). I haven't had to go past speed 5, but I really don't think I have to. The blades have worked beautifully for me and the easy of having a bowl with handles makes for easy pouring of cake mixes, batters, custards, etc. The 6qt. bowl is the perfect size for anyone who loves to mix batters (prevents splashing).
It is a large and heavy piece of equipment, so you need to make sure that you have ample space to store it in. But it has given my arms a workout. The different attachments are fantastic. We just got the juicer attachment and we love how easy it is to make fresh squeezed orange & grapefruit juice with little to no mess. We're anxious to try out the other attachments that are offered with this mixer.
This is so much easier to use than the standard hand-mixer and much more durable, especially if you're making a large batter. If there was an 8qt. bowl available I'd be all over that! This may not be for everyone, but if you love cooking as much as I do it's a must-have!
