Purchased for myself during the Mother’s Day sale & I am SO glad I did! New features I love are: the bowl light-just a game changer! The half speed-the flour sifting attachment never looked so seductive & there is zero mess, even without the spatter cover. Speaking of which-I love how it now grips the bowl! It used to slide to the sides constantly & now you can hold the bowl upside down & it won’t come off. And the bowl! The handle is much more comfortable & sturdy, the brushed finish looks impressive & cleaner-the shiny silver showed every water mark & finger print. I was worried the stand mixer would be hard to clean in the Cast Iron finish but it’s just the opposite! My old Matte Black Artisan showed finger prints & oil much more easily! It doesn’t seem lighter than my regular Artisan was, & it’s still pretty loud all the way up, due to the more powerful motor. Also the cord isn’t very long but now comes with a cord keeper band-a nice touch. The new attachments are heavier duty, easier to clean & work well. The bowl cover (sold separately) fits this bowl also. I can’t wait to try the new 3-in-1 pasta attachment! 10/10! Well done, KitchenAid! Go ahead & get it-you deserve it!

I love my new Kitchen aid mix we! It makes baking even more fun!

The KSM50PKVX did not blend ingredients well in the bottom of the bowl so stopping to scrape down and mix in with a spatula is still necessary. High speed for whipping did not seem as fast as in my two other older models. I was hoping for a real difference when operating the new one but was disappointed that it is not so.

Great appliance makes mixing so much easier easy to clean

I just love my new mixer the light is nice and bright and I love that the attachments are stainless steel and not plastic
