Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKT2651XWW Epicurean 475-Watt 6-Quart Stand Mixer, WhiteCustomer Review: It may not make you a great cook 5 Stars
You'll be inspired to attempt great feats of cookery with this machine in your kitchen. Like having a Mercedes in your driveway, people will expect more from you than the average person.After many, many years of using the old (50 years +) reliable Sunbeam, that my grandmother bought when my mother was young, I finally had the courage to break from tradition, and get a mixer that could handle a recipe that called for more than 3 cups of flour. This baby will take up to 12 cups of flour (or 8 cups of whole wheat flour), and never groan or squeal. Cake mixes whip up in nothing flat, and I've never been able to make merangue as quickly or as stiff as I can with my new Epicurean Mixer. Here's a hint. Make sure to read the instruction manual, and pay careful attention to the part about adjusting the bowl height. A quarter turn of the little adjusting screw is all it takes. Also, and I found this out the hard way, the metal clip on the back of the bowl support has to snap securely into place, otherwise you'll never get the bowl adjusted properly. Complaints? Well, the first one is that I waited so long to do something about buying a good mixer. The other complaint is that this monster doesn't fit under my kitchen cabinets without a little twisting and tilting. Once it's in your kitchen, you'll find a way to live with it, and then you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
Description of Factory-Reconditioned KitchenAid RKT2651XWW Epicurean 475-Watt 6-Quart Stand Mixer, WhiteFactory Reconditioned Model KitchenAid's stand mixer is a substantial piece of equipment: 475 watts of mixing power make child's play of creaming butter, kneading dough, and whipping cream. The kid in you will appreciate how quick and easy it is to mix up a batch of cookie dough; the 6-quart bowl can hold up to 11 cups of flour, which translates into as many as 192 sweet treats. This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. The bowl itself locks tight to the base. Standing 16-1/2 inches high, jutting out a foot, and weighing more than a grown woman's bowling ball (25 pounds), this stand mixer isn't the sort of appliance you'll wipe down and put away. Better to find a square foot of free counter space for easy access; besides, this machine is as pretty as it is rugged--you'll want to show it off. --Betsy Danheim Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the appliance back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.
