If stand mixers were luxury apartments, this one would be the penthouse! This mixer has been modernized for the home chef, complete with all the bells and whistles you didn’t realize you needed, but now, you can’t live without them. I thought when I got this mixer that my favorite feature would be the Alexa (or Google) controls, but the low key best feature of this mixer is the built-in scale. Gone are the days of dirtying up multiple measuring cups and bowls- everything can be done in the mixer. This is so important, especially with baking, because baking is best when done by weight, not by volume. I personally think that the mixer does a better job incorporating ingredients in when mixing; I feel like there’s less to scrape off the sides of the bowl. This is a big/heavy unit, but it’s solid and built well. I like the way it looks, too. My new favorite kitchen gadget!
