KitchenAid KSMC895CU 8-Quart Commercial Countertop Mixer with Bowl Guard, 10-Speed, Gear-Driven, Contour Silver

Me gusto mucho es de gran utilidad

Good product

This unit is outstanding! It is a beast, albeit, more than most would need in their home kitchen. We make traditional bavarian pretzels. The dough calls for 9 cups of flour, and this unit doesn't even break a sweat. Awesome!Golda's kitchen is also amazing. Super fast delivery, reasonable price for such a heavy unit.

Remember when KitchenAid used to make great mixers (when they were owned by Hobart)? The kind that didn't have plastic and rubber parts inside? The kind that were passed down from grandparents to kids? They took a break from that and started producing lesser quality mixers in the 1990s. This mixer screams "old style craftsmanship". For starters, the all metal gear box means that you wont need to replace broken plastic gears in a year or two. Next is the noise level, its much quieter than my old 4.5qt (flip top model). A previous poster mentioned that the machine shakes, I made a big batch of bread (16 cups of flour) and the mixer didn't move a noticeable amount). The 1990s-2000s mixers had a silver ring around the part that moves. This is where oil would leak out and ruin your breads. This machine doesn't have that ring, the gear box is sealed! It also doesn't have the spring where you attach the parts (where my old one used to also leak oil). And the best part: All the parts that get dirty can go right into the dishwasher because they are stainless, not that white material!One thing to note: In the box is this weird shaped rectangle thing. Its not mentioned in the manual, so I called and found out that its a chute to add ingredients through the protective cage.

This is my 3rd Kitchenaid stand mixer, and I couldn't be happier! The motor is very quiet, I really like that the attachments are stainless steel (no more hand washing my old model's attachments!), and the capacity is great for lots of bread making and large cakes! Very much wirth the money!
