KitchenAid Professional 5 Plus Series Stand Mixers – Black Matte
The Professional 5 Plus has a powerful 450-watt motor that delivers enough power to handle the heaviest mixtures, and mixes large batches easily. This special bowl lift model has brackets on the bowl that fit over support pins on the stand mixer, which is than lifted up by a handle on the right side of the mixer to lock the bowl in place while mixing (this design is made to handle heavy mixtures and large recipes). The 5-quart polished stainless steel bowl is dishwasher safe. Its ergonomically designed handle is contoured to fit the hand and makes lifting the bowl more comfortable. This mixer also features a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise as the shaft spins counter clockwise, moving the beater to 67 different points around the bowl. This distinctive mixing action creates a thorough blend of ingredients and eliminates the need to rotate the bowl. 10 speeds allow the user to select the right speed for the mixing job, from very high to a very slow stir. The flat beater, dough hook, and professional wire whip add to the versatility of the mixer. In addition, the Soft Start mixing feature helps prevent ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at startup, while “Overload Reset” helps eliminate overheating of the motor. A hinged hub cover flips up, allowing easy installation of attachments and never leaves the mixer. Optional attachments (sold separately) complete the package to make cooking a pleasure. From citrus juicer to sausage stuffer, KitchenAid stand mixers can handle just about any job in the kitchen.

Seemingly Reliable, Powerful and Great Value for the Money So I’ve only had this a few days, but I do have some observations.I originally had a KitchenAid pro 500 series with a 325 watt “heavy duty” motor with metal gears and a solid transmission design which I purchased over 20 years ago from Williams-Sonoma in “Williams-Sonoma Green.” I moved, changed to an all black and white kitchen and with hardly any counter space, it was relegated to a hall closet. At 30lbs it was unwieldy at best, so the little baking I did became…
Great machine. No longer quite so great. I tried this out by making THREE loaves of bread at one time, and I am really pleased with the result. I wish I had not waited so long to get one of these. So happy.Update Oct. 2017. I’m a little less in love. The mixer’s purpose in this house is to make bread dough, which I generally make a little on the wet side, so it shouldn’t be an issue for a stand mixer. Also, I never added the maximum amount of flour the specs call for. About a month ago, the motor had issues and just went…
