First off I would like to say is this is a great looking bowl. Looks like it should be in a china cabinet. It has a great finish and feel to it and it works great. Just one warning as the instructions state. Reset the base plate on the mixer. I rotated mine on my Artisan 2 positions as to not break the spout on the bowl. If you do not it will allow you to rotate the bowl into the mixer and possibly breaking spout. We made pasta dough and cookie dough in this bowl and have no complaint's. We ran all our other attachment's just to make sure that everything had clearance and they do. Overall this is a great looking functional bowl that not only works with your mixer but in your oven also. We have not used it much yet as I stated but do not anticipate any issues. This was well crafted and finished very nice. Thanks
