KitchenAid Commercial KSM8990OB Description
With a 1.3 HP motor and eight quart work bowl, this KitchenAid stand mixer has the capabilities to mix 13 dozen cookies in a single batch. A motor-reset safety feature protects the unit from damage due to overloading, while an adjustable beater height allows the user to get maximum beater-to-bowl coverage without scraping and potentially damaging the bowl. The stand mixer exterior is wipe-clean, with a safety feature to prevent the mixer from being accidentally turned on, and the dough hook, whip, and flat beater, and work bowl are dishwasher-safe for quick and simple cleanup.

Excellent Mixer
"I am so glad I decided to go with the 8qt. mixer. It is able to make a triple batch of cookie dough with ease. That's 11 cups of flour, 6 cups of sugar, 1.5 pounds of butter and over a pound of cream cheese. Works great. I do wish I had of purchased the silver color instead of black. Not sure what I was thinking. The silver would stay looking cleaner and not show flour as bad. Of course, I wipe it off everytime so I guess it doesn't make a difference. The paddles, whisk and dough hook are so much heavier than the professional model it's like night and day. The great thing though is that it isn't any taller so it still fits under my cabinets great."

Great Mixer
"My newest mixer arrived yesterday and I immediately made a triple batch of cookies. That was 14 cups of flour, 6 cups of sugar, 6 eggs, 6 sticks of butter, 9 ounces of cream cheese. Powered thru it like it was nothing. Mixer is a bit quieter than my 5 qt. It's hard to imagine just how much heavier the paddle, whisk and dough hook are than my profession mixer."

Great at what it does
"The only "complaint" I have about this product is that it is difficult to align the the holes in the bowl to the prongs on the stand; it takes quite a bit of torque to get it to fit right. Other than that, I love this mixer. Very simple to use and gets the job done quickly."
