This mixer with the glass bowl has been on my wish list for some time and my wish came true when my daughter and husband surprised me with one. It looked amazing sitting on my counter. It has only been used a handful of times before it cracked just like other reviewers stated.  I used it tonight and am grateful I didn’t get cut or had to clean up a big mess like so many others.  I am really disappointed in this bowl, Kitchenaid should recall it and replace it with something less fragile.
