(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I got this as a gift last month for my birthday, and it is incredible! The paddle attachment with the scraper makes it super easy to whip up a batch of cookies without having to scrape the bowl every few minutes. The pouring shield is also something I didn’t know I needed, so much less flour on my counters! I’ve baked more in the last month than I have in the last year. This stand mixer takes the mess out of the picture, and I’ve never been more efficient at making my baked goods!
