Top comment on a reddit comparison I found from six years ago (ironically, he was spot on with the price):
"Yes, it's pretty much a complete scam.
It's a hand mixer in a flimsy plastic case that's molded and colored to look like a KitchedAid.
It's worth about $35 and will do whatever you expect a $35 hand mixer to do.
Pizza dough isn't going to happen."

Got one in pristine condition a few weeks back for $60. Had to drive 45 minutes each way to pick it up, but totally worth the hassle, for the excellent deal I got. It is a pro hd 5qt model. Retails for $400. A kitchenaid mixer is one of those things that every home cook/baker wants, but like you said, it doesn't always get used a whole lot. So buying used is a great way to have your cake (pun intended) without breaking the bank, as lots of people (at least in the marketplace) don't put in the thought that you have and just buy it by impulse or get one as a gift or something….end up not using it a lot so just post it for a small fraction of retail just to get rid of it or because money is tight.

Want me to mix up some pizza dough?

You can probably get away with light usage and small loads, but expect the motor to burn out or plastic gears to break once you start mixing larger amounts or stiffer dough.

The question to ask now is, what percentage of people wanting a stand mixer would have a similar or lighter usage profile than me? Given how much shit sits around unused in the average American kitchen I'd say probably "a lot".
I think this deal probably works for at least half the people that think they want a stand mixer at, again, an obnoxiously good price.

At this point I was looking at professional mixers that are in the thousands. Except that they are so huge they wouldn't fit well in my kitchen. I decided to give a "cheap" mixer a try. Got one of the Chinese ones on amazon. What can I say. Best $100 I have spent. I have made over 1000 pizzas with it and probably 500 burger buns. Lasted way longer than I expected and is still going.
Yes kitchen aid looks nice and is metal but it only looks sturdy on the outside. Such a massive disappointment.
Don't know anything about the mixer in this listing. Maybe it is poor quality but thinking that paying $400 for a kitchen aid guarantees high quality is ignorance.
