(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was gifted this mixer to replace the classic 4.5qt I’d been using for just over 19 years. I obviously love the bowl size of this model and absolutely love that it doesn’t take much more counter real estate than the classic mixer. My one very small peeve with this model is my attachments don’t come close enough to the bottom of the bowl and since you can’t lift the motor head, it’s a little trickier to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Otherwise, LOVE this mixer!
