6.3 Quart Tilt-Head Food Stand Mixer 6 Speed 660W

I bought this because it was a food network reccomend buy. I enjoy baking but don't do it frequently enough to justify a bigger, more expensive one. My job also requires frequently moving so I wanted something on the smaller side. It works well for cupcake, cake and buttercream. I just used it for a double batch of pumpkin cinnamon rolls and it struggled a little,but handled the dough which was about 6 cups of flour.

I had read an article that said this was an affordable mixer for someone who only makes cookies at Christmas. That was correct. It has basic attachments & splash guard. Make my cookie dough in no time. Happy with my purchase.

I've had this Mixer over 3 years and it works amazingly. It was so much cheaper than some other national brands that I bought a warranty with it, but to my delight I have never had to use the warranty. The mixer has a powerful 660w high performance motor and is very quiet. It mixes well and allows you to choose different speeds for different foods. There are 3 different attachments (dough-hook, beater and whisk). The dough hook is very effective at mixing for breads and thicker flours such as whole wheat "atta" for Indian "Roti". The Mixer comes with a Large Bowl that is easy to use and remove. Its 6.3 quarts, so plenty big for larger jobs. I like that the tilt-head makes the back part stand up for easy bowl removal and replacement of attachments. Note that the Mixer is lighter than others so is actually easy to lift and store in cupboards. To compensate for it's lightweight and to make it more sturdy the bottom has suction cups to keep it steady. At first I thought this was odd, but it works just great. TIP: Save yourself a few hundred dollars and buy this product. It works just as well and lasts a long time!

For the price, this mixer is amazing. I make homemade bread, pizza dough and cookie dough including chocolate chips, without a problem. Makes me think Kitchenaid is over priced. For the average cook/baker this will work all day long.

I've owned this mixer for two years now. I used it mainly for cakes around birthdays and occasional cookies/breads. I'd say on average it was used ten to fifteen times a year. With that being said, here's my review- It's more inexpensive than most stand mixers. There is no warranty. The steel bowl is a hardy bowl but it's probably the only thing that will hold up. My cover cracked and had to be tossed and the engine is going up now to the degree that I can pulse, no more 1-5 mix settings because it'll go 100mph and not the normal speed. It's a bummer because for spending over $130 you think this will last you some time. Tried to contact Costway and there's no warranty. So sure it worked for a while. If you want a long lasting mixer for regular (more than a few times a year) I don't recommend investing in this one.
