Product Description |
| With 450 watts of power and a 5-quart bowl capacity KitchenAid's Professional 5 Plus stand mixer tackles big jobs. This factory-reconditioned machine prepares food for a crowd and ably handles tough mixes. Its body features durable die-cast metal construction and offers a direct-drive transmission and all-metal gears. The sturdy lifting mechanism uses a metal arm and steel lever to effortlessly raise an ingredient-filled bowl. The bowl itself features stainless steel construction, two pins to attach to the lifting arm, and an ergonomically designed handle for comfort during use. Ten speeds allow for everything from whipping egg whites to slow churning bread dough and the Soft-Start feature keeps power in check to prevent splashing and flour clouds. A unique mixing action spins the beater clockwise while the shaft spins counter clockwise; this results in an even blend. As a safety measure, the motor stops in the event of an obstruction or overloading. An integrated hub cover with hinge flips up to allow easy installation of attachments. A flat beater comes with purchase but additional pieces including a wire whip, dough hook, citrus juicer, and sausage stuffer can be purchased separately. The machine measures 16-1/2 by 12 by 14 inches, comes in a range of colors, and includes a 90-day warranty. Pop the bowl and beater in the dishwasher for cleaning and wipe the main body with a warm damp cloth. |

 I love this mixer |

| We've been wanting one of these for ages but the price (400.00) had been way too prohibitive, so to get this for less than half was a deal we could not pass up. It's a wonderful addition to our kitchen. It's beautiful and functional. So far we've made cookies and hamburger buns and it's unbelievable how easy this makes the whole baking process. I will actually bake more now. |

I'm very happy with this mixer. Regarding it's refurbished status: it's hard to tell that it wasn't brand new when I opened the box, other than the stickers in the manual reminding me. It works every bit as well as I expected from a Kitchenaid. In the past week I've run it through it's paces pretty good: I've whipped eggs, mixed some medium thick batters for cookies and scones and made two batches of yeast bread dough, the bigger using eight cups of flour. Thus far it's worked exactly as described in the manual. One thing to note: despite the Amazon warning to the contrary my unit arrived with the flat beater, the wire whip and a powerknead dough hook.
Other than discussing it's refurb status what else can I say about this mixer that hasn't already been said? It's an awesome tool but it won't help you much if you don't already know how to cook. It's not a bread machine minus the heating element you still have to pay attention and there is a learning curve. However if you're already a fair hand in the kitchen it will be an immense help for a variety of chores and will make it easier to bake more often. For me the biggest advantage, especially with yeast breads, is that using this mixer for kneading is a lot less messy than doing it by hand. For a regular loaf of bread the mixer probably saves me all of ten minutes of actual cooking time compared to hand kneading but saves a good half hour in clean up time. That's a huge amount time to save in the evenings after work.
I'm really looking forward to trying some of the attachments available.
Cheers,

| Thus far I am really enjoying this mixer. I am not a gourmet chef- just your average joe in the kitchen. Thus far I have had great success making some dishes I never would have made if I had not purchased the product. Althugh refurbished, the mixer looks as good as new- at a fraction of the cost. This is a great long term investment that I would make again if I had the chance. |
great mixer, great price

| We bought the refurbished model and are completely satisfied. If you like to bake then this is exactly for you. The first night we made calzones. Easy to use, easy to clean.It makes frostings, cakes and bread by the loaves. It really is worth it and no problems with it being reconditioned except we saved $$$ by not buying new. With Amazon's return policy it was an easy decision. |
I love refurbished

| My wife always wanted a stand up mixer and I did extensive research online. I've purchased 3 refurbished products and have been delighted with them. This is a stellar product. My wife loves it. |
