Does it move or wobble when mixing pizza, bread, or cookie dough? My Artisan model moves and I have to hold it everytime. Must replace already.

It is difficult to move the mixer on our counter top. You must lift it to move it. We have done several large bread and cookie dough batches and it has not moved at all. I am not familiar with the Artisan model except we wanted the larger motor and all metal gears for longevity. So far it has not disappointed us. I also read the 7 quart model has a die-cast frame which might be heavier resulting in more grab when sitting on our counter top. So far we have not noticed any movement at all.

I just made bread this week....I have never had to worry about it moving. I love this machine. I have also made an extra large batch of cookies....no problem with any movement.

Have owned this mixer nearly a year and have not had difficulty with it moving or 'wobbling'/shaking while mixing heavy doughs or batters. Have mixed 8+C. bread dough as well as other stiff batters for cookies plus kneading of bread dough without difficulty. It is a solid mixer!

Its pretty solid but the head doesn't tip wish I would have noticed that before I bought it would have gone with a tipping one.

I have mixed all sorts of doughs and have not noticed any movement on mine. Hope this helps you.

This is a great storage cart and i have had no balance issues. If assembled properly, you will find this item to be quite sturdy. To be honest, i know it could easily handle storage and movement of your mixer from point A to B. If you're wanting to run the appliance on the cart, however, I would probably not recommend it. Even with the wheels locked, it wouldn't prevent wobbling.

I didn't secure mixer to shelf. The weight of the mixer holds it in place.The shelf is always horizontal so the mixer doesnt slide. It is also nice to move it an inch or so for cleaning.

I lightly sprinkled flour inside the bag and had no problems with it sticking. Never thought to use water on the counter to keep the bag in place (!!!) but I will admit, I was very careful rolling the dough. I do always use chilled dough. Pressed down hard to prevent rolling....and it seemed to work ! Good luck.

Sorry to hear that. Mine doesn't move while blending but it does move slightly in the base. I have had a similar problem with a different brand and just holding it while blending helped. But if you are not satisfied give the help line at Oster a call. They were very helpful to me when I contacted them about my top shattered after I washed it, they sent a replacement in less than a week. Hope this helps. It really is a great blender and the company stands behind its products.

Mine slipped all over the place and it proved to be too small for the amount of dough I was using for two loaves of bread. I threw it away. It was much easier just to work on the kitchen counter and clean with a plastic pot scraper.

I have had no problems like this. Perhaps your dough is too dry and therefore, stiff. Or the pan is not in properly.

Whoa...may be the mixer head connecter insertion. Have you made "adjustments" for the height with the tool? Might be some of the problem, too. Mine seems to be somewhat loose at insertion with any of the beater attachments, which made me leery at the beginning; but it whips up double cookie batches with no problem. I make Divinity with it and whips it up great without any over-heat. I never tried it for bread dough, as I like to knead bread myself. I would call the 800 customer service number and talk to them about it, but first try your adjustment tool. Sorry you having problems with it...maybe I need to whip up a batch of French Bread to see how mine does...big snow storm here and roads are un-drivable in Champaign County in IL...so might just get it out and make some bread! :o) Let me know if the adjusting tool helped.

I purchased this a couple of months ago and it turns kind of hard-pull the handle out turn it to the number one after rolling the dough through turn to number 2 and so on. If this doesn't work your machine may be faulty. I have bad hands from arthritis and it can be difficult to use at times but we love the results.

If you are going to be making bread, go with the 600 lift-up bowl model, my Artisan can't really handle bread dough gracefully - it really struggles and makes such terrible noises it makes me anxious that it is going to die!

There is a tendency to slide around, depending on the surface texture of the countertop. I have a slightly worn formica countertop with some roughness, and I spread a little tap water on the countertop surface before placing the pastry mat. The surface tension of the water anchors the mat quite well and keeps it in place for the most part.

I used mine a couple times already and I love it. At first I thought it was wobbling but then I realized it wobbles just enough to rotate easily. I tried moving it briskly to see if cupcakes would fall but didn't.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

Mine vibrates also, I think when it was built it wasn't balanced. I still use it every chance I get. My grandkids love it. But it does shake a lot when it is working. I can't put anything on the tray because it falls to the floor. When this one dies, I will buy another one, probably not the same brand.

I have not had any trouble with this mixer in any kind of dough. I find the thin blades makes it easier to use in thicker dough.Have made lots of cookies with this blender, does anything I have used it for, simple love it.

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

The beater rotates around in a circle, I guess meaning it has "planetary action." Also, it doesn't actually touch the bottom, so you will need to use a spoon to mix up the very bottom of the batter. And mine is holding up just fine!
