White on White KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer KV25GOXWW

---

After waiting too many years, I am so very happy that we decided to purchase this professional quality 500 Series Kitchen Aid Professional 5 Plus 5-Qt stand mixer. I have admired K/A Mixers forever and have recently been drooling over all the colors the Artisans come in. After much research and reading MANY product reviews from various sources, I decided on this well built, Bowl-Lift Mixer with 450 HP, and Professional Transmission. I couldn't be more delighted and satisfied with it! I was going to get a 600 series, but the height was prohibitive for my counter-space clearance so I chose the next size down. I absolutely LOVE it. It doesn't come in as many colors as the Artisan, but I decided on White on White anyway, as all my other appliances are White and it will always match. I have some mobility issues so my cooking chores are often difficult for me. This mixer is so powerful and FAST it is cutting down my work time significantly! The bowl and beaters are easy to clean, even by hand they are a breeze. So far I have made Cheese Balls, Pizza Dough, Mashed Potatoes and Strata- all with great ease! It is literally saving my arms from using a hand mixer as I have been doing for years. I wondered IF I could manage since it is so large, but it is NOT a problem for me.
Even if all I did was look at it, I'd be happy to have it after all these years, but using it pure JOY!

*I'd like to make an important NOTE HERE in hopes of saving another shopper the ERROR I made regarding the POURING SHIELD ATTACHMENT which did not come included with my Mixer..
The Amazon Information was NOT CORRECT in describing the Pouring Shield # KPS2CL as fitting ALL K/A 4 1/2 & 5 Qt Stand mixers. It does NOT fit this 500 Plus Model- it's about 6/10s of an inch too small and just falls into the bowl! It DOES FIT the 5 Qt Artisan perfectly and I was happy to give it to a relative who could use it.

THE CORRECT POURING SHIELD for this 500 Plus Mixer is # KN256PS.
I confirmed this with Kitchen Aid Customer Service before ordering from Amazon, as Kitchen Aid has recently changed the part Number from the one listed in the "Attachment Booklet" that came with my Mixer. I am happy to report that indeed it does fit perfectly! The Amazon Product description for "Kitchen Aid Pouring Shield with Wide Chute" has the correct item number and that's the one I ordered.

I also ordered the K/A Cloth Mixer Cover too, which also fits just fine, but I sort of hate to have it covered as I enjoy seeing it...

In spite of the little mix-up with the Pouring Shields, I remain a satisfied Amazon Customer over several years now. I'm not letting that little blurp rob my absolute JOY in having my long desired Kitchen Aid Mixer and fun of discovering how helpful it really is! I am doubly happy that is is MADE in the USA!! Enjoy! Thank You!
