When my new larger mixer arrived I was excited to try it out. I own a 6000 so when I investigated purchasing a larger one I was excited to see that I could use 16 cups of flour in the 7000 mixer. However, I wish you had made the mixer a little higher. The bowl is bigger than the 6000, but with the mixer the same height as the 6000 I find the bread dough working its way up the mixing shaft. I notcied the bread hook on the 7000 was a little smaller than the 6000 so I switched bread hooks, using the older one on the new mixer, and had better results.

I've only used it once, but so far I like it

It took me a couple of tries to figure out how to detach then attach the mixing bowl. And I've only done one small bread batch, but I know I will like to for the larger bread batches, which is why I ordered it.

Amazing Mixer

Mixer is very good great color great speeds and quality and value r great!

Bigger, Better

I bought this mixer for my mother for her birthday, because her small one had been dropped on the floor ( :O I KNOW!!!) Anyway I have always watched her make double-plus batches of things and has always had to clean the bowl and do separate mixes. This mixer was everything she has wanted and more! She make rolls, cookies, desserts, EVERYTHING and do it bulk! Very satisfied!

Kitchaid 7Q Proline Standup Mixer

Beautiful. Will take a little adjusting from my 5 Qt bowl...amazing how much bread dough it can hold. Love the absolute solid feel of this mixer and the power. My other Kitchenaid is still running after 11 years, so will keep that for 'smaller' jobs and pull out this baby for running through 5 lb of bread dough.
