Vipoutlet should be removed from the advertising they do here. They're effectively a return refurbishment company that often fails to ship item in the condition listed, or straight up bait and switch items, or sell you something say it's sold out but it is now listed at higher prices. Some people get lucky, but a lot of people don't. See past Vipoutlet posts from Slickdeals.

If you value your time, skip this and just wait for KitchenAid directly refurbished deals or when Bestbuy, Costco, and other retailers have these mixers at heavy discount.

This is my wife's favorite kitchen decoration. It collects dust and makes fantastic cookie dough once a year, but it looks great while doing it. If you have a countertop with a void that you can't seem to fill, this will do the trick.

šŸ’Æ% this. Avoid VIPOULET. I ordered one ps5 controller from Walmart website, seller was VIPOUTLET and received a ps5 trash game probably worth $5 instead of a controller. Luckily I had to deal with Walmart customer service instead of VIPOUTLET.

This open box KitchenAid 5.5 quart bowl lift mixer is best for heavy doughs, bread, and cookie making, with enough power for attachments and a stable bowl lift design. The 500 watt motor and 11 speeds are called out as strong points, and the mixer is also praised for countertop presence and professional style. The main caution is fit and seller risk, since the bowl lift model is taller than a tilt head and VIPOUTLET open box condition can be hit or miss. The listing includes free shipping, a 90 day warranty, and 30 day returns.

  • Some open-box units arrive looking new with original packaging and included parts, and they work great for sourdough.

  • The mixer can handle bread making without much difficulty and produces better tasting results than store-bought.

    psychephylax

  • The bowl-lift design supports heavy and dense mixing with a 3-point locking bowl for stability.

    qwikwit

  • The 500W motor can run attachments like a meat grinder and still mix effectively for kitchen tasks.

    RobinR99

  • Open-box condition can be a coin toss, and damaged packaging listings may still hide internal dents or issues.

    luisdlujandfrunobulax

  • VIPOUTLET has been criticized for shipping items that do not match the listed condition or for bait-and-switch style relisting behavior.

    DarnCrazy

  • Return processing with VIPOUTLET has reportedly been delayed, with no refund after about five weeks.

    UwanaJ

  • The bowl-lift mixer is noticeably taller than a tilt-head, so countertop fit and clearance can be a problem.

I think this has a 500 watt motor and that is strong enough for the meat grinder and all of the attachments as well as a super strong mixer. Good kitchen tool!.

Decent price for the size, but this is the lift up one that is a decent amount taller than the tilt head. Comes down to preference and space. And that guy's wife.

I'd pass given the vendor and the new generation (which this is) KSM's AC motor troubles. At least it doesn't have the KP transmission issues. The plus of the KSM series is that it can be easily upgraded to DC, though you'd be more than doubling the cost.

Because people don't want to flush their money down the toilet?

Does anyone have experience w/ this seller and "open box" condition?
I've seen the negative reviews, but I actually did buy one and received it a couple weeks ago. I have zero complaints.

Fast shipping, packaged in original box with everything included. It appeared to be new with some of the original plastic protection wrap still on it. I've been using it to make sourdough and it's been great so far.

Honey?

But seriously accurate for me. Christmas cookies and then back on display.

You could become a baker instead of hoping your wife will make cookies. Start with banana bread muffins.
