Metallic Chrome KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer KV25GOXMC

---

I'd never had a stand mixer before and I was a little afraid that this model (Professional 5+) was "a little too much" for a first timer: not at all! I love to bake bread and make pizza and it's so easy now. As a previous reviewer said, I feel guilty the day I don't use it. It amazes me when preparing the bread dough how everything gets mixed without my intervention...its a test for one's patience watching all that flour getting sticked to the bowl and apparentely not blending. At the end the dough itself scratches the bowl leaving it almost clean.

This is a big appliance and you have to select a place in your kitchen that is going to be dedicated to this machine. Forget about storing it and taking it out only when you're going to use it; it's big and heavy. But it looks so nice that I really like to have it on display.
