KitchenAid KSM7586PCA Mixer Red

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We purchased this mixer approximately one month ago and are enjoying using it. The mixer does such a great job and with the close tolerances between the mixer and the bowl, it all but eliminates the need to scrape the bowl mid mix. It also has so much power that it makes mixing seem so easy. Our only minor pet peeve is that when the bowl is in place, it can be difficult to add ingredients from another bowl, for example, due to the inability to raise the mixing unit out of the way. However, we knew this would be a small issue when we purchased and accept it because we understood the design makes for a powerful and long lasting, reliable product.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I got this mixer as a present. I was very sceptic about it at first but after we started using it we absolutely love it. Got a meat grinder attachment as well and it works like a charm . Awesome product. Great bowl size too.

I purchased this mixer predominantly to make dough mix. I still have a KitchenAid KSM150 which is about 20 years old and still working beautifully but as I make enough dough for 2 loaves thought it was time to upgrade. This mixer is a dream, attaching the bowl took a little while to become accustomed to but the mixer is so much more stable when handling a heavy mix. I love both my mixers and would not consider a different brand.

I've wanted a Kitchenaid for years and finally received one for my birthday this year. We have used it almost every day and have since bought the ice cream attachment. I've made dairy free ice cream (house full of lactose intolerant people) and an abundance of baked goods. We decided to go for this model due to size of the bowl and motor and I'm so happy we did. This is a fantastic machine and my only regret is I didn't buy myself one years ago. Incredibly easy to use.

Upgraded from a kitchenaid artisan tilt head mixer as I mainly found myself doing bread and large batches of pizza dough which the artisan would not handle well. I looked at the commercial model and did a lot of research and found the machines mechanicals are identical! Exactly the same DC motor and gearset. Only difference between the commercial model and the proline is the cord,saftey cage,flat beater and dough hook are stainless steel also the larger bowl and nsf certification. I can easily do 12 cup flour batches of pizza dough in the supplied 6.9 litre mixing bowl which makes enough for 8, 12" pizzas. (The larger commercial bowl also fits this mixer if needed as the machine is the exact same size). Kneading on speed 2 for 8 minutes per batch the proline doesn't even break a sweat and powers through the job,something the artisan couldn't even hope to do without overheating and walking off the bench top. The proline is rock solid on the bench even at high speed and the DC motor is very quiet in its operation. The unit is easy to clean and once used to the bowl lift operation you'll appreciate its design and simplicity. When adjusted correctly there is no missed flour in the bottom of the bowl and yes I tried it "the two egg white wisk test"just to see, and I can report successful stiff peaks in no time. A solid workhorse in my kitchen and well worth the investment. If you just want to make packet cake mix and whip up some cream for a batch of scones id definitely recommend the tilt head kitchenaid mixers. Just a note,I designed and built my kitchen knowing I had to fit the KA proline under my cabinets as this is not something you take in and out of the cupboard 6 times a week,check the specs and your cabinet height before ordering.

Just bought my new baby and she is lovely. After washing and Adjusting beaters for clearance and it mixes beautifully and so quiet. I look forward to baking more and trying out new recipes. Would be nice to have a small recipe book enclosed with mixer.

5KSM7581. First Kitchenaid product I've bought or had experience with, though researched and heard a lot about the stand mixers being great. First impressions were great, looks and feels solid. Putting the bowl onto the machine is direct and mechanically solid. The lift mechanism, though a bit loose but not sloppy, has a mechanical kind of operation also. Connecting up the dough hook, again is loose rather than snug in it's place. The other attachments in the box, k beater and whisk, are the same so guessing that's the design. Emptied a kilo of plain flour, 600ml water and yeast, salt and turned it on second speed, power of the motor is obvious, as is it's sound. I wouldn't say it's noisy, rather a little more industrial than 'quiet'. As it is the 'most powerful yet' and the pro-line series I guess that's to be expected but the claim was 'Quiet'. The dough hook rattles at it's attachment as it turns the dough due to being a sloppy fit but made short work of a kilo of dough. Overall I'm looking forward to using the machine but from the product advertising and claims I would have to say it's not what I expected. Hope this helps.

After 2 years, this mixer needed a new PCB at a cost of a few hundred dollars. I attempted to contact KitchenAid Australia via their website, Facebook page and messenger (their phone contact waiting time was over an hour). I wanted to ask if it was acceptable for the circuit board to disintegrate after 2 years. 2 months on, I've still had no reply. Quite disappointed with the product, but even more disappointed with the service.

I bought this mixer to replace my smaller Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer. It's motor is powerful and doesn't bounce off my bench at high speed. It's a great machine however I find it difficult to put the attachments on. I have to have the bowl in place first before fitting the attachments which is annoying should I want to remove the bowl to scrape down. Also another point I don't like about it is that the beater doesn't reach the bottom of the bowl so unmixed flour etc remains stuck. I like the mixer for the power as I make a lot of dough however usability is terrible and would prefer the smaller tilt head design.

I have been using this for over a year. Disappointing impression but I had to be fair and gave it a good shot of using before writing a review. One year later still disappointing. I have only just found out you can buy a flex edge beater and to be fair this solves a lot of problems. But I will write my review based on the machine as is so 1. the fact that you have to scrape the bowl manually, makes the bowl-lift function very inconvenient. One must lower the bowl, detach the beater/whisk, remove the bowl then scrape... and then repeat a number of times during the process before you're satisfied of your mix. SO much mess when you have a runny batter, and very inefficient when you have a heavy batch. So yes I understand this problem is easily solved with a flex edge beater so my next point is, the flex edge beater should just come with the machine. This mixer is already a "top-of-the-range product" which cost premium, and yet the customer have to buy the beater separate to actually make it a better product? Not happy with having to do that but I don't have a choice now. What do I like about the machine? Its power and bowl capacity definitely a win. But guess what, a little after a year my bowl had a crack from a little rust spot. Presumably from using the dishwasher. If the bowl isn't dishwasher safe it failed to mentioned this in FAQ's. But then again, the bowl really SHOULD be dishwasher safe regardless because this is what we are paying for these days. Convenience, functionality, and long-wear. Great that the warranty covers the machine for 5 years but everything else 1 year. Not uncommon I know but when my bowl cracks just after a year and I had to buy another because it isn't covered under warranty. NOT HAPPY. All things considered it does what you want it to do eventually. Just not efficiently or reliably.
