KitchenAid Kitchen Aid Pro 6 qt. Mixer Review

I have wanted a Kitchen Aid mixer since before I was married, and one Mother's Day, my husband fulfilled this dream for me. I had done months of research and came to the conclusion that the Kitchen Aid Pro 6 Qt. Mixer was the one for me. I'm an avid home cook with a history in restaurants, bakeries, and catering, so I knew that Kitchen Aid was the most commonly used stand mixer in most restaurants and bakeries, so that is what I wanted. Hubby ordered my Kitchen Aid online and got a free ice cream mixer attachment with it, which was an added bonus! I selected the cinnamon red and have not been dissapointed.

As someone who bakes her own bread weekly, I was really looking for a mixer that would knead the dough for me without breaking soon after purchase. That is precisely why I went for the Pro instead of the Artisan mixers (which are available in more colors than this model). Bread dough can be rough on mixers, but this mixer will hold up to 2 loaves at a time, which makes my time in the kitchen fly by. It's also very helpful for things like frosting, icing, and meringues. My only complaint would be the price of the attachments that are available for Kitchen Aid mixers. It's awesome that there are so many possibilities with the attachments (making your own sausage, pasta, ground beef, grinding grains, making ice cream, etc.), but each attachment can add up quickly.
