Farberware 6 Speed 4.7 Quart Gun Metal Professional Stand Mixer

I absolutely love this stand mixer. I researched for 3 weeks because I had my heart set on a kitchenaid (top of the line right?) Well 2 things.. one I couldnt find one on sale everywhere I looked. No black Friday deals. No amazon deals. Not even at walmart although they did offer as low as $200. However an amazing thing happened while doing this. .I got to see the kitchenaid in person at Target and others and most of the displays had pieces missing or falling off and so I could objectively evaluate this item with it. This mixer is hands down sturdier and looks just as appealing on the counter. The gun metal grey is modern and will most likely hide wear and tear in the future very well. It feels so high tech. Was extremely easy to use. The attachments are heavy duty and coated so food doesnt stick to it and the stainless steel bowl is huge and nice quality. The motor hums at a nice sound that doesnt sound like its laboring or having difficulty in anyway. I was so excited to use it and have it that I immediately ordered another one for my daughter for Christmas because I wanted to share this mixer with everyone I know. Now here's the best part. This Farberware mixer does EVERYTHING the kitchenaid does. It has the hub at the top so you can use attachments with it. I ordered the shredder cutter for veggies and haven't used it yet. Just opened the box today and after I wash all the parts plan to use it for my soup. I have had a hand-held version of the salad shooter for years and i fully expect this attachment to do as well or even better. I am on a waiting list for the package that contains the noodle maker and meat grinder but will definitely get it when it becomes available Bottom line...you won't go wrong with this Farberware stand mixer. P.S. and by the way ..while researching I came across a lot of kitchenaid mixers that were selling as refurbished which tells me that they have a lot of them that breakdown or dont work properly from the beginning.

I was nervous when I decided to purchase a mixer. But when I got it and put it to work I so excited and glad I got it ! It definitely does the job and looks brand new after every use. If your looking for a simple affordable and effective product this is it.

Researched them all. Thought I would be sacrificing something by not buying a Kitchen Aid. I am not disappointed! This thing seems well-built and works like a charm. It even has a front port for attachments, something not mentioned in the description.

I just got my mixer today and I am so happy with it. For the price, I didn't expect the body to be made of metal, but it is! I've had another mixer of this price range before and it was plastic, so I didn't have a high expectation but I'm very pleasantly surprised! The machine has some weight to it, doesn't feel flimsy at all, and the best part is that it has non slip feet, NOT suction cups for feet - those are irritating and it's hard to un-suction the mixer on the countertop. For $99, this is a steal! Order now!

Bought to replace the old.... old.... stand mixer . This model had all the standard features and the wattage of the motor will do what it is needed for. Already used for making a batch of bread and no complaints . This model also has the ability to add other attachments ( pasta maker , meat grinder , etc ) , so all is good there. Price wise I believe I got good value for the item itself. One note to those that have never owned a stand mixer.......you do not use the wire whisk to take chunks of boiled potatoes and use the whisk to mash them , you use the paddle first to break the potatoes up , then at the end use the whisk to " fluff " the potatoes......

Liked that it occupies less space than my prior more expensive mixer. Also was surprised that fabberware designed it so attachments can be added for pasta making. Meat grinding. Etc. but most of all I like that the bowl and all pieces can be dishwashed.

I'm new to baking. My inclination was to spend $350 on a KitchenAid, but I opted to spend a third of that on the Farberware model. It works just fine. The cookies i made were a hit with my family. I'm sure a hardcore frequent baker could find some inadequacy, but that's not me.

Fabulous price. Do not confuse it with the quality of a $400 Kitchen Aid. It does everything it claims to do but occasionally does not mix all the flour ingredients leaving small spots not touched. Easy to remedy tho. Also you can buy 3 attachments for $15 as opposed to spending hundreds with Kitchen Aid. I am an occasional baker and love it, but if you are looking for perfection pay the price for Kitchen Aid. It lasts forever. Happy to have bought this and is perfect for me.

I made a very big cheesecake during the holidays. All was going fine until I went to pour the mixture into the pan. When I got down to the very bottom, I discovered that the cream cheese had not all mixed into the rest of the batter. I ended up just tossing that huge chunk down the sink. The cheesecake turned out okay, luckily. I contacted Walmart (Farberware doesn't support this product - weird!), and explained that the mixer shaft wasn't reaching the bottom of the bowl and asked how to adjust that, as there is a screw in the neck of the head (online suggestions were to adjust it here). However, after much back and forth, they told me to return the item. I purchased a set of security screwdrivers and tried to adjust it, to no avail. After reading others' reviews on this product, I decided to keep it, as some reviews suggested other, more significant problems. So...Whenever I use this mixer now, I stop the mixer, raise the paddle, and scrape the bowl thoroughly.

The item was not thought through on design. It's nearly impossible to put the attachments on or off while using. It's useful to be able to do that without making a mess and trying to get your hands messy with forcing the crap to bend to take it off. Horrible design flaws.
