Rated 5 out of 5 by Colleen123 from Stainless Steel Bowl I got my mixer in December for my birthday. It came with a glass bowl. The problem is that the splash guard I bought doesn't fit it. So my son in law bought me the steel bowl. I am totally loving my appliance now.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MaggieMom from Bowl Not Same Quality I purchased this as an extra bowl and am not really feeling the normal KitchenAid quality. Feels very light, black residue on bowl at top and bottom seam rims, and does not feel like my older KitchenAid bowl. Quality is just not what I’d expect from KitchenAid. Will keep using my glass bowl and hope it never breaks.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bob14me from Bowl Comes Loose We have used our mixer for over a year with no problems. Unfortunately we have encountered a problem when kneading dough. The bowl slips out of the grooves on the base. If the machine is at a medium or relatively high speed this creates a potentially dangerous situation. The grooves seem ok. In all other respects the mice does a great job (probably five stars). Please advise me as to how I can correct the problem. Thanks.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Lorimig from Disappointed in the KitchenAid Mixer Artisan I bought the KSM150 mixer in 2015- didn't take it out of the box until two years later- no room on the counter top for it! Started using it and was very happy then the bowl did not sit tight in the base. It would come flying off when making a cookie batter. Also the handle to the bowl broke off. Called the 800 number and because it is out of warranty I would have to buy a new bowl for $50+- does this seem right? These mixer are very expensive and they should work at a quality level. Very disappointed. The machine isn't used everyday - I would say I used it about 24 times- I guess I will have to look into other brands.

Rated 2 out of 5 by rmba from Frustrating When Kneading Dough I love using the KitchenAid stand mixers that my parents have, so was extremely excited to get one of my own. However, after only a few months of using the bowl that came with the mixer, it started to come loose when mixing thicker batters or kneading bread dough (my primary use case), even on the lowest setting. A couple of times, the bowl even came off its base in the middle of kneading, leading to panicked moments trying to get the machine turned off while the bowl was tilting wildly and then frustration as I had to knead my bread dough by hand. None of the bumps on the bottom of the bowl seem pushed in, nor do the ones on the base plate. I've checked the mixer head height and everything seems to be in order there. My only conclusion is that the bowl is poorly or improperly made.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lydie from Doesn't stay in place I've been so excited to get my own kitchenaid mixer. All of the ones I have used before are the kind that click or latch into place, I didn't even think about the twisting into place to be a problem. It is. If you use anything about a medium speed it slips right out of place and nearly gives you a heart attack as it goes flying around. Such a bummer! I contacted kitchenaid, hopeful they would help, but just recommended that I buy a replacement bowl. If the first one wasn't good why would the next $50 bowl be any better?

Rated 1 out of 5 by SteveCT from Under-engineered bowl attachment lugs This is the second Kitchen Aid mixer we have owned and the first lasted for ever but was too small so we upgraded to the 5 quart model a year ago. It worked well until my daughter took an interest in baking cookies - she was mixing a dough and the bowl started shaking wildly (it really jammed her hand). I assumed that she had not attached the bowl properly but I could not get it to stay in place either. I inspected the bowl and saw that two of the four lugs (or whatever they are called) that lock the bowl into its base had compressed and were no longer engaging properly with the base. My wife and daughter are not strong enough to have damaged the bowl, so I initially concluded that it must either be a defective bowl or the lugs were under engineered for their purpose. After going into the Kitchen Aid website and reading all the other similar accounts, I have to conclude the latter.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Frustrat-Ed from Bowl can't handle dough! Finally started using the mixer for making bread this year. The KSM150 mixer itself seems powerful enough to deal with kneading the dough, but not the bowl. The bowl got knocked around so much the first time, that it now does not fit in the base. I had to hold it down forcibly to keep it from destroying the mixer or the kitchen. Since I had to use both hands,. it was tough working the control settings while holding the bowl. Could not get it going past power setting #2 before the thing goes nuts. BTW, this bowl is made in India, while my older bowl (which is smaller (4.5qt) but looks better made) was made in Korea. Comparing the base indents on the base, the India version's are hard to see, and not stamped clearly, while the Korean one looks sharp. Definitely evidence of quality going downhill. Makes me hesitant of getting a replacement, but like the higher sides to keep the mess in.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TStinnett from Do not buy this bowl. My wife loves her kitchenaid, but out of nowhere when she was making cookies the bowl started flying around. In all of the commotion she ended up getting her hand bruised and a huge mess in the kitchen. Upon further inspection, the threads on the base of the bowl are insufficient to hold firmly to the mixer. With a replacement bowl over $50, it is disheartening, as likely this will just happen again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Zami from Pathetic design Brought this to have some kitchen comfort. Looks like it takes away energy holding it down during operation. Base does not fit properly. Clearly a design flaw. Called customer care and they send the base plate which is of no use. They clearly know it is Bowl flaw but still they sent base plate. Cheap tricks. Very disappointing. Bought this knowing Kitchen aid is leader in Kitchen appliances turned out pathetic experience.
