KitchenAid Mixer - Proline K5M5 Review

I received as a wedding gift from my husband, and it has gotten him out of the dog house many times!  He always reminds me that his love for me will last longer than my Kitchen-aid, and it is built to last a long time! 

For bakers, and home chefs this product will revolutionize the way you use your kitchen.  I do a lot of baking around the holidays, and birthdays, so this seemed like a great way to expedite those processes.  I could double or triple cookies batches, make fluffier cakes, and mix bread without burning out the motor in my Kitchen-aid hand mixer.  I never thought I would be the type to make my own pasta, ground my own meat, or even make sausage.  However, as years and anniversaries go by I find my self collecting more and more attachments that I could never live without.  Grinding my own chicken and beef allows me to control fat content and quality, while saving money.  At less than a dollar a box I never would have thought to make my own pasta over purchasing, but what a difference in flavor.  You can use less salt and less additives in your sauces and get more flavor for the buck. 

The only downside is the fact that it is a heavy machine.  It is not easy to move around, so it will likely remain in one spot in your kitchen.  It does take up space, so if counter space is a premium and you have no one to do the heavy lifting for you then I can see where this may be a bit of an inconvenience.

The mixer is easy to use and easy to clean.  Everything is dishwasher safe, and the finish on the metal wipes clean with a sponge.  I love this product, and you will too!
