How much dough can the 7-quart bowl handle?

KitchenAid rates it for over 8.5 lbs of bread dough, up to 13 dozen cookies, or 7.5 lbs of mashed potatoes in one batch.

What is the difference from a tilt-head KitchenAid?

The bowl lifts into a fixed head, which KitchenAid says gives twice the power in the bowl and more stability for dense mixtures. Tilt-head models are smaller and lighter.

What comes in the box?

The 7-quart stainless bowl, Double Flex Edge beater, stainless flat beater, dough hook, pastry beater and pastry beater scraper.

Can I use KitchenAid attachments on it?

Yes. It accepts the hub-mounted attachments KitchenAid sells for mixing, grinding, shredding and pasta, which are bought separately.

Is the half speed useful?

Yes. Speed 1/2 is meant for gently folding egg whites, berries and other delicate additions without overmixing.

Does it fit under kitchen cabinets?

It is a tall machine. Measure the clearance above your counter before buying, since the bowl-lift head sits high.
