I bought this Kitchen Aid in December in the colour Pistachio. Although it is a lovely colour, part of it came poorly spraypainted and it scratches very easily, similarly to a carbon copy paper. The whisk also doesn't reach the sides very well. And I unfortunately cannot exchange it because my kitten somehow got access to and chewed through the rubber of the one attachment. I've also used a tilt mixer for the past 10 years and I definitely prefer that over the bowl lift. And the hot pink one I had for 10 years doesn't have a single scratch on the colour.
