KitchenAid HEAVY DUTY 5.2 L Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer 5KSM55SXXBWH

A second hand dirty one was delivered.

I’ve owned the standard type for the last 25 years the motor finally packed in, and with all the enamel having come off the parts I decided to go for broke and get a brand new one than get it repacked. I managed to get this for an outstanding price in Black Friday week, so was similar to the standard model. Now, first thing to mention is it’s a lot bigger than the standard, both in the counter that it takes up and height, but I’d have this any day of the week over the standard, I used to find it quite hard to sometimes get the bowl off the standard one, with this it has 3 parts to connect, once you get how it attaches it’s really easy, line up the 2 sides then a bit of pressure to push the back into its place, it’s nice and light too and easy to clean, there is a handle to wind up to get the bowl higher which basically avoids all the flour or icing sugar etc spilling over the side, it isn’t as noisy as the standard one - well I don’t think it is. Comes with 3 different attachments whisk etc, the power lead is the same length as the standard machine - I wished they would make it a bit longer , aside from that it’s much easier to clean the base than the standard one. Highly recommend these mixers, but… I do think a lot of it is paying money for the brand, my Nan wouldn’t entertain this brand, she was a kenwood fan, the kenwood mixers are actually better (although personally I think the bowl is too heavy ) but they don’t look as good on the bench and are made of more plastic.

Absolutely loved this mixer, but regrettable I had to send it back, it was just to big to fit under my kitchen cupboards above kitchen counter tops

Baffled it has no lid, as you can imagine it's really messy!
