KitchenAid® 5 qt. Tilt-Head Mixer Glass Bowl with Lid

My husband bought me a KitchenAid stand mixer Artisan Edition a few years ago. It came with a 5 quart GLASS mixing bowl. Everytime I knead bread dough on it, the glass bowl slips out of the grooves on the base. I had to HOLD the glass bowl on the handle everytime I knead dough. Unfortunately, the last time I used it for kneading dough, the glass bowl slipped again from the base. This time the bowl hit the neck of the stand mixer and cracked (2 cracks). Now I cannot use the glass bowl anymore for fear of totally breaking it and glass chips will be flying all over my kitchen which is a very dangerous situation! My stand mixer is now totally useless without a functioning glass bowl! This is a very frustrating and disappointing situation considering that KitchenAid brand is a popular brand in the market. I hope the manufacturer of this KitchenAid stand mixer will replace my glass bowl that broke because its not my fault that it cracked and now useless! The fact that it slips out of the base when in use is clearly a manufacturing defect!

I bought this glass bowl around a year ago and absolutely loved it, but today it totally shattered while mixing out of nowhere. Glass went absolutely everywhere, and the flying glass scratched up my beloved KitchenAid :'( Reading through these reviews it seems to be a common issue. Very expensive bowl to only last a year and even more expensive when you take in to account the collateral damage!

I’ve had my mixer and glass bowl for going on 12 years and it’s clear from the reviews that they have changed the design as I’ve never had cracking. But, all this time, I don’t use my mixer nearly enough as it deserves for the price tag because the glass bowl is just so darn heavy! I don’t pretend to be in the best shape, but it’s ridiculous that I can’t hold it up with one hand to scrape out the bowl with the other. I’ve looked at other bowl options to replace but have had mixed reviews on needing new attachments to fit the SS bowl and that’s too expensive for something so impractical.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The glass bowl didn’t come with the plastic/rubber circle that is attached to the bottom so it fits in better to the machine. My last bowl had one and I find the glass grinds on the bottom without rubber thing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such great piece to be added in my kitchen. All my friends are complementing about it. It’s also handy with measurements I find it easier to measure liquids in it as I can see it clearly. No faulty to mentioned so far and I’m so glad I got it on sales price.

I absolutely love my glass mixing bowl with measurements etched in the glass. This has been great for seeing if my ingredients are being incorporated correctly and the size is just perfect. I received this Christmas before last and I absolutely love it. I keep my stainless steel bowl for things I want to keep cold like meringues and whipped cream but use this one for EVERYTHING else. I couldn't imagine my kitchen without it.
