I really love this KitchenAid mixer that I got and I enjoy using it for everyday baking. So far I have use it to make cookies and then also Irish soda bread for St Patrick's Day. Everything so far has turned out really good and it is really helpful to have the pouring  shield which has helped to prevent spills. The one thing I really like is that it's a seven quart bowl so it makes it easier for doubling recipes and doing it all at once. I also really love the red color and all the accessories that it came with which will make baking more easier.
