KitchenAid KSM8990CU 8-Quart Commercial Countertop Mixer, 10-Speed, Gear-Driven, Contour Silver

I ordered this from the UK. When I received it, it turned out to be a US model which is 110V and different power plug, so useless in the UK or the rest of Europe. Had to return it. So be careful.

Muy buena batidora. Kitchen siempre es calidad. Aquí se le da un uso comercial y está al cien. Hacemos un aproximado de 30 panes a la semana, 4 batidos casi llenos, y está en perfecto estado.

Ce mélangeur est un outil très puissant et surtout très fiable pour les besoins reliés au pétrissage de pâtes lourdes. La machine est très silencieuse et est devenu un inconturnable dans la cuisine de la maison. Je recommande fortement le commerçant, très sérieux, à l'écoute de ses clients et fidèle à son offre commerciale. Merci beaucoup. ************************ This mixer is a very powerful and very reliable tool for the needs related to the kneading of heavy dough. The machine is very quiet and has become a must in the kitchen. I strongly recommend the merchant, very serious, attentive to his customers and faithful to his commercial offer. Thank you very much.

Love it, Love it. I have always had a kitchen aid and my last "Professional Kitchen Aid" finally wore out and I purchased this commercial one. The power is amazing and it is so quiet. Love the safety features on this powerful machine because I have lots of little grandchildren and I do not have to worry about them sticking their fingers in the bowl while the machine is in operation. If you are a serious baker, this is the machine for you. Breads are made in a snap with a lovely rise to them. LOVE IT!!!!!!!

I purchased another unit just like this from Amazon recently. It suddenly started making loud noises. Bearing failure in the planetary drive unit of the mixer where tool connects. Great, so I ordered a new one (planetary drive) and thought to fix the older one. It has a completely new drive train which is good. No one so far has done video showing how to repair. And I noticed they are selling the drive train as a single unit and the parts therein are not offered for sale at this time. Dumb me I took the drive train apart thinking I needed to. For my old fingers putting it back together was a b_ _ _ _ _! But I finally got it done. The weakness now for the whole mixer is the bearing that failed on my older unit. That bearing is certainly necessary and is available to purchase, but the entire planetary drive is for sale for about $70 delivered. Suggest that is the way to go. In fact, if you really use your unit as much as I do for my baking, I would suggest this unit is great and buy the planetary unit and drivetrain unit as spares. Your cost would be about $200 for the parts. If you pay to have someone fix it for you, then your cost goes up by their labor which is very likely at least $100 per hour. Your call, but to me an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. OH, sorry, but you need to know the level of grease inside the planetary drive and drivetrain is substantially less than older units. Not as much to clean!!!! Great unit. This is my forth one and yes I thought to change and upgrade, but it I do that, the unit gets very ugly and very ugly does not play well with momma!!!!!! So this is the unit to purchase!!!!!

I am baking lots of cookies now and this mixer does excellent job .I had regular Kitchen Aid 6 - Quart mixer ,but this one you can tell it's professional,it mixes the dough so easy ,I love it.I am really happy with it.
