After purchasing this mixer from Overstock, I was given a coupon for a department store. I went to check out their mixers and found that I was still ahead with Overstock versus 3 other stores. Most didn't even carry the professional version. Christmas we made 3 different desserts before we had to be at our party. The all turned out excellent. My son just graduated from culinary school and we bought this for him.

I ordered item for a christmas present It arrived on time and exactly as pictured.

Have always used a KitchenAid Mixer. This one is great. Be prepared, this one is bigger than most KitchenAid mixers, in height and weight. The bowl is also larger. Great Mixer, Great Price and GREAT service from Overstock.com.
