Love my new KitchenAid mixer! I have had my 5 quart bowl lift mixer for 28 years and it still works perfectly but the setting speeds were only 2/4/6/8/10. When I saw the 7 quart bowl lift at the KitcheAid Senior Golf Championship at the demo tent I knew I needed an upgrade with all the new features including the half speed for folding. Feeling confident this will last another 25 years because KitchenAid mixers are the best!
