Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love the KitchenAid 9 speed mixer. I first tried the 5 & 7 speed (non-digital) ones but they have a sliding finger control knob that would accidentally slide past setting 1 to the other settings. The digital display on this model fixes that problem. Also, the low start-up speed is nice and SLOW like it should be. I tried Cuisinart and their low speed would ramp-up super fast when you first turn on the mixer before settling into it's official 1st speed. I had flour flying everywhere. I also tried Black & Decker Pro from Walmart for $20 which had great reviews but it had a slow speed that was much too fast. Same with Sunbeam. I'm very happy with this mixer and hope to use it for years to come.
