Works perfectly. I use it to peel apples in the fall.  The product is very good.  I use it on my KitchenAid mixer that is 35 years old.  I really wanted it for the spiralizer, but I find I am too lazy to use it as much as I thought I would.  That is why I gave it four stars.

I have used this for a year now, for a huge variety of things -- hot soups, cold smoothies, chopping up dried chilies, whipping eggs whites... it is a very versatile product. It does the job of both a hand mixer and a blender, with a smaller kitchen footprint. For the most part I am rather satisfied; while the "blenderizing" isn't quite as effective as a regular blender (the bits are a bit larger than my old broken stand-up blender), it probably could be if you put in the extra time. On the other hand there is a much smaller amount of dirty dishes to do, and you can blend hot things with little splashing. The bag is a nice little convenience to organize (some of) the parts in the drawer.

The handicap here is the chopper. It isn't that good -- for example, I tried to chop dried chilies, and it just threw them around without making small fragments. I have heard it is pretty good at making baby food, BUT: the gearbox that goes on top (in this image, the dark grey UFO type cone that sits on top of the blade and cylinder) has a void inside of it that filled with water the first time I put it in the dishwasher -- as per directions! It =does= get messy when you're chopping, especially wet food. After that first wash, it has had water sloshing around inside. It's been months now. I tried shaking, tapping, drying in the oven on low (for hours!), re-using as a mixer (no food...) and I even put it in my dehydrator for 12 hours. No luck. It is a single piece assembly so you can't take it apart. Once in awhile when I pull and twist and shake it hard, I can get microliter sized droplets out, and they are NOT clean (try: brown and smelly). It is only a matter of time before any metallic parts in there corrode completely.

If you want a good inversion blender with the option to use as a hand-mixer, this is a very good item. On the other hand, if you are looking forward to also using as a chopper, either get a different item / version OR make sure you only hand-wipe the gearbox and never, ever dunk in water.

This is a really great mixer.  We have had the Sunbeam model and it worked for less than 1 year.  The thing broke down and the company nor the store we purchased the useless thing from would stand behind it.  We turned our attention to this KitchenAid Mixer and love it.  I works better by far.  Thanks for the great product.

After reading about the current state of affairs with Kitchenaid Mixers, my wife and I decided to buy this product. We cannot comment on longevity as we've only had it a few weeks, but we are well impressed with this mixer. We purchased it to use mostly for bread making, which is a bit of a no-no with some other mixers. The Bosch handles them quite well. Granted, in order to do so, it makes a considerable amount of noise, but thankfully it does not irritate the nerves. It is more of a loud white noise.

I agree that the Bosch is not very pretty to look at, but we weren't looking for a decorative item for our counter. We wanted something that would handle bread dough and that hopefully lasts a long time. It has fulfilled the first role well. Only time will tell on the second.

This baby is good for mixing up pancake batter, cakes, proofing bread, you name it. Pyrex is a name you can trust and this is a wonderful product. I wish I would have purchased this sooner.

My mixer just came today and I must say that this is the best mixer that I have ever owned. I think it could handle mixing bread doughs. I would use this for everyday baking and recommend this to people who doesn't want to buy overpriced Kitchenaid mixers. Happy Baking :D

For its price, it is a good mixer. The only downside I see is that the mixture tends to clump towards the center of the beaters, but I have no regret buying it since I do not bake often.

I bought this couple months ago. It works fine. Recently I purchased a pasta cutter set for the mixer, and until then I found my mixer didn't come with its attachment thumbscrew. (I keep everything in the original box, and it's not there. Yes, the small cap is there, but the screw is not.) It seems I can't find the right replacement for the screw all through the internet. Someone please tell me where I can find it, otherwise all those expensive attachments are just useless...

I really like the mixer.  I like the fact that it will stand on it's own and I don't have to lay it down.  The only thing I didn't like was that the cover over the mixer holder,  (where the beaters stay) does not snap on or even stay on.

I like this mixer very much.  It is nice that it doubles as a stand mixer and a hand mixer.  I would recommend it.

I like this mixer, it feels sturdy, it has a very powerful motor for hand mixer - for a while I could mix everything I wanted for cooking. My old hand mixer (also HB brand, but very old) often had troubles with mixing thick dough, but this one does it easy. Storage container for attachments is very convinient. The only issue (that's why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5) - even first speed is VERY fast. I have to premix wet and dry ingredients by fork to moisten dry mixes before using mixer, because otherwise if I have dry flour in the bowl mixer turning it to the flour cloud in seconds even on the first speed, and then table, your clothes and mixer by itself all sprinkled with flour. First speed should be much slower, at least twice, for mixing dry and wet ingredients keeping them all in the bowl, so for this inconvinience I'm taking off 1 star.

It's Amazing! :) :) :) It's fast, beautiful, it does all the work with one part that I would have  used three spoons to do. One to scrape the edge, to break the bigger bits and to take it out. I know when it's done it's done. KitchenAid mixer isn't just a fancy mixing tool, it's THE kitchen equipment. I won't hesitate to purchase another KitchenAid item ever.

THis is my second KitchenAid Mixer. This one is more powerful than the previous one I got and I think the extra horsepower is wroth having. It's factory-reconditioned so there are some scratches but overall in very good shape.

This product works wonderfully. I waited to write a review for this product as I wanted ample time to use this product before commenting on my experiences. I think that this product is a high quality and a very useful product for anyone who likes to bake or cook. I use this product every time I bake things and it will definitely be useful for years to come. I think that one of the best features is the powerful motor that allows it to mix things very effectively and evenly. Another great feature is the five speed setting. This allows the user the ultimate control over the speeds to mix things. I love how there is five speeds instead of four because when the recipe calls for "medium speed" you can use the speed of 3. All in all this is a great product and I would highly recommend this to anyone in the market for mixers. The only bad thing that I could think of is that this product can be somewhat loud but that is definitely not a huge deal.

Love mine!  Just beware that you have to make large batches to make it worth using this baby.  Whipping cream or egg whites in small quantities doesn't work so well as the tines don't reach the product you are beating in that big of a bowl.  I use a second 4.5 quart mixer for smaller batches, but not everyone has the luxery of two kitchenAids!  I make 4 loafs of bread at a time in this Professional mixer and enough cake batter for a 14" pan (equivalent to making 3 cake boxes at a time).

Excellent KitchenAid Stand Mixer.  It is very strong and generate low sound when you use it. It is a good alternative if you do not have the money to buy a new one.

The product works well.  The size of the mixer is easy to handle. The mixer also looks nice.
