Does the bowl spin slow when on for easy mixing and does the beater come off the stand for easy storing, not to use as portable just to store

Yes. The bowl spins and the beaters come off the stand for easy storage. The top part comes off so it's in two pieces.

The bowl spins as fast and as slow as you like. Yes the beater can be removed from the stand. Great mixer.

Yes the bowl does spin slow to the point where you have to help it spin. The faster you speed it up the better it spins.Yes the beaters come off to store.

It is 5-1/2 qt. But the beater mechanism goes down into the bowl so you really can't load it to the top anyhow. When loaded with meat mixtures it tends to push the mixture over the rim of the bowl when mixing. I've never tried to load it up that high with liquids or batter though due to the beater's connection mechanism. I'd say its good for at least 5 qts at a time and be safe. You might want to look at the 7qt model if you need more capacity.

The lift bowl design is more ridged than the tilt head; this allows for a stronger motor and in the case of the Pro 600 and 5+ the use of the spiral dough hook. You only spill batter taking out the bowl if you try to take it out with the beater, whip or hook still in place. If you release the attachment first, you can take out the bowl out with only a slight tilt back and nothing spills. If you lift the head on the tilt head mixer so you can spin off the stuff on the beater, you are asking to get hurt. You could of course do this on the lift bowl mixer by lowering the bowl part way with one hand and controlling the motor with the other, but again, I don't recommend that. Either style of mixer does a very good job. I think that long term, the bowl lift is better than the tilt head. I have both; I use the lift bowl more.

It's not slow , but I put my ingredients in a bigger bowl. It gets the job done fast and I'm not mixing with a fork or whisk any more.

The bowl stays still and locked into position on the support arms. The mixing tool turns and rotates around the bowl.

The bowl spins by itself, but I find it needs my hand to control it and to slow it down a bit. That goes for any mixmasters I have used

No, the bowl does not rotate. The beater(s) turn and rotate within the bowl. You do need to scrape the bowl during the very initial mixing.

I am a fan of the bowl lift and I personally prefer this option over the tilt. I like being able to drop the bowl down for scraping the sides while mixing or adding ingredients and I like the fact that the beaters are not lifted up at an angle in the air with all the wet ingredients; there is more potential for flinging dough out of the bowl and I just think it is more awkward period.

This has been a great little mixer, especially for the great price. The bowl is stainless steel and very easy to clean. I don't think you would find a mixer whose beaters would go all the way to the sides, you would have a lot of scraping and stress on both the bowl and the beaters. However, this does a good job though you will still need to stop and scrap the bowl now and then, depending on what you are mixing. I love this little machine, saving my hands a lot.

My daughter owns a Kitchen Aid and I would put this mixer up against hers anytime. The only problem I have with it is that the very bottom of the bowl doesn't get mixed in. However, my daughter has the same problem with the KA. Thus, when I finish mixing, I just make sure i hand mix the bottom for a few seconds and voila! All done. I love this mixer! Easy to use and has all of the attachments you need.!

It is somewhat difficult to turn the speed dial. The wand is also a little bit hard to handle. It is large. You might be better off with the Braun Multimix. It is a hand-held mixer with the stick blender attachment and the chopper. It also has dough hooks, but I never used them. I had one for years, but shortly after I got it, it would only work on one speed - high! I actually think that chopper worked better than the Kitchenaid.

Yes, it's great for mixing batter or cake mix. It's very light, which makes it easier to handle than heavy glass bowls. That is a big selling point to me. The only bad thing is that it must either be washed by hand or on the TOP RACK of your dishwasher, according to the label. I love the color two - very retro. I am still very happy with this purchase.

I am so happy with this beater. I wish I had purchased one of these mixers years ago. The blade scrapes the sides quite well and keeps the bottom of the bowl scraped and mixes well.

yes one of the beaters has a rubber nob on the end and it turns the bowl while it mixes very nice mixer for the price have used mine quite a bit when i first got it and had no problems with it.

it spins fast or slow how you let it very easily. makes a reat toy for little kids to put bendy figures in. also good for food items.

The bowl does not turn at all. The action of the mixer is that the beater is not straight down, it makes a rotation inside the bowl.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.
