(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love my KitchenAid Mixer and had bought it because of it's long lasting durability and timelessness. I was so excited to have the glass bowl with my mixer, because it has a spout and a lid which came in handy. However, just recently the bowl has cracked with a 7 inch crack down the side... I really couldn't believe it. I'm disappointed because the glass bowl is not cheap. It was nice while it lasted, but I was greatly surprised that it did crack because it seems to be heavy duty, that is just not the case. I'm so disappointed in KitchenAid.
