(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love love love the 5qt mixer i purchased but it came with the glass bowl which looks very nice and is handy for seeing your ingredients but the 3rd time it was used the very bottom where the bowl locks in cracked with tiny shards of glass getting in my finger.
I have wanted one of these mixers my whole life and after spurging on the purchase i am disappointed in the glass quality and wish mine had come with the metal bowl.
Now im stuck with a 300 counter decoration or spending 60-70 to buy a new bowl or using it without it being locked in place.
