Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25GOXOB Professional 5 Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Onyx BlackCustomer Review: ****Excellent Mixer!!!!**** Summary: 5 Stars
Why buy new when you can get one for $162.00 plus free shipping? I have made pancakes, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, bread and countless cookies and bars with this bad boy and it just takes all that I can dish out. It is a bit big but it needs to be with such a large motor. All the utensils are easy to wash but they can go through the dishwasher as well. This mixer makes baking and cooking fun again, it is all hands free!! You just pour your ingredients in the bowl and the mixer will take care of the rest!
One thing to consider: Do NOT pick the wrong color, meaning if they are having a closeout on orange and you really want red or black, be patient and wait for the color you want. This will be sitting on your counter for 15 or more years. Also, consider the room between the bottom of your cupboard and your countertop. I do not have a lot of room so I chose the model that goes up and down, not the model that arches back. If you do not have a lot of room you should pick the model that goes up and down, otherwise you'll have to move it to where you have more height every time you use it. Did that make sense? This product weighs 25 pounds so putting it in one place and leaving it there is important.
It comes with three attachments: a wire whisk, a flat beater and a spiral hook for breads. The flat beater, at first glance, does not look like it can do a lot of work but let me tell you: it can and it does. It is just so much fun (and tasty) to throw stuff in there and let the mixer do the work. My kids and I really enjoy baking and what a nice alternative to Playstation 2! And let's be honest: Stuff from scratch really does taste better. There are other attachments as well: a meat grinder, a juicer, a slicer, but I am passing on those at this time as I own a Vita-Mix which chops stuff up very well.
I really recommend this mixer.
Description of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKV25GOXOB Professional 5 Plus 5-Quart Stand Mixer, Onyx BlackThirty percent more powerful than KitchenAid's previous 5-quart stand mixers, this remanufactured professional model efficiently tackles heavy loads with its 450-watt motor, direct-drive all-steel gear transmission, and bowl-lift lever. The latter function is particularly convenient, as it effortlessly raises heavy ingredients up to the beater to make mixing more efficient. In addition, the mixer is constructed of durable die-cast metal, ensuring long-lasting use, and comes in an attractive onyx black color that complements both modern and classic kitchens. With a choice of 10 speeds and three attachments--flat beater, spiral dough hook, and stainless-steel wire whip--the mixer handles everything from egg whites to meat loaf to pizza dough. Rather than rotating the bowl, KitchenAid stand mixers feature a fixed bowl with a unique mixing action: the beater spins clockwise while the shaft spins counterclockwise, thus projecting the beater to 67 different points inside the 5-quart stainless-steel bowl. In deference to its power, the Soft-Start feature prevents splashing and flour clouds by gearing up to each speed gradually. Once started, the electronic speed sensor kicks in to maintain a constant speed even when mixing the thickest batter. The bowl also sports a handle and two pins that hook into the lifting mechanism, which itself consists of a solid metal arm the same color as the mixer and a stainless-steel lever. A hinged attachment hub makes changing attachments easy. For safety, the mixer shuts down if an object obstructs the mixing process or if overloading occurs. The bowl, beater, and dough hook are dishwasher-safe. Assembled in Ohio, the mixer measures 11-1/4 by 16-1/2 by 14-3/5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty.
