(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I purchased the KitchenAid Deluxe Edition Stand Mixer a while ago and didn't have space on my counter so I had not unpacked it.  My son and I were getting ready to make Christmas cookies and he asked me if I had a KitchenAid mixer.  We got it out of the box, set it up and mixed up the batter.  Removed the bowl, washed it and put it back on and it cracked!!! I was totally shocked!  With the cost of these mixers, I would expect better quality.  I'm extremely disappointed.
