Powerful and Full Featured Mixer
I'll start with what I don't like first. Our kitchen counters are generally clutter-free with very new things left out. We just built a new kitchen and one of the coolest features of our kitchen is the mixer lift cabinet. When it's time to use, open the cabinet, pull the mixer up and our with little effort and it's right at the counter with little effort. Everything is plugged in and ready to go. I knew the GE Profile mixer was heavier so I adjusted the springs on the lift to support the additional weight, placed the mixer on the lift and when I went to put it away - it didn't fit!!! It was too wide AND too tall. No amount of repositioning was gonna fix it either. I looked at how I could possibly make it work and in the constraints of our cabinets it wasn't happening. But, here's why it's going to stay. The GE Profile mixer is big and heavy because it's powerful. This is truly a monster and didn't miss a beat no matter what we tried. We use our mixer for grinding meat and our old mixer would sometimes struggle and start to smell a little hot after long sessions. The GE kept going. Time to make some dough! Using the stainless bread hook to kneed the dough, I set the mixer on the lowest speed and just let it go. I found the controls easy to use and the mixer isn't any louder (or quieter). What sets the GE mixer apart from others is the built-in scale. Admittedly, I'm a measure by volume not by weight type of casual baker. Knowing that in baking, it's preferred to weigh ingredients this will take time to adjust, but at least I don't have to buy another kitchen gadget. The GE mixer also comes with an app that you pair with your phone and it will guide you through recipes - complete with weights, speed settings and timers. It also includes a searchable recipe database to help inspire your next creation. One thing I wasn't able to find is the GE uses the same attachments so if you already have a meat grinder or pasta maker they'll still work with the GE Profile mixer. With the holiday baking season coming up I'm excited to see how this performs. I'm really disappointed that I didn't consider the size, but it's definitely replacing our other mixer that's served us well for over 20 years. Also, my wife has given me a new role in the kitchen as the "mixer lift".

Powerful, Smart and Innovative Mixer
The GE Profile Stand Mixer is certainly powerful, with a motor that runs very cool and can run very fast. The device has 11 speeds that provide to you all the versatility needed to mix everything from whip cream to bread dough. Yes, it does weigh nearly 50 pounds, however it is commercial rated and to utilize its higher speeds it must have enough weight to keep it firmly in place. I mixed some heavy items at the top speed and the unit was rock solid – great. The substantial weight is also necessary to keep it planted while mixing very viscous material. So this weight is necessary to handle the power and speed of the mixer and the design is therefore consistent with the heavy duty use this mixer can handle – nice job by the engineers. It is well advised to find a permanent spot on your countertop where this mixer can ‘live’. It would not be a good idea to try and tuck it into a cabinet since the weight might likely deter you from using this fine product. The manufacturer did put some smarts into this mixer including WiFi connectivity and the associated cell phone app. I did spend about 15 minutes to install GE’s SmartHQ app, setup the WiFi connection, and make the connection to the Alexa app. The mixer can update its firmware and add more guided recipes and other updates over a WiFi connection – really nice. Using Guided Recipes is easy and fun. A non-cook like me can get much better results with this very smart mixer. I do think this is a very innovative feature that I had never seen before in several other mixers I have had the opportunity to own. A tip of the cap to the design engineers for building this capability into an already awesome mixer. You will have to enable the correct skills in the Alexa app, but once done the device did understand some commands. Actually, the marketing information on the Alexa (and also Google Home) app relative to voice command is not accurate; you are not capable of total control as the literature states. It is pretty much useless to try and control the mixer with voice commands since you still have to be at the mixer to hit the ‘Start’ button which is safer. Quite honestly the Alexa and cell phone voice controls are not an efficient way to use this device. The good news is this mixer is very well designed to utilize a very clever interface that makes it simple to operate the device using the provided buttons and speed slide control. It is indeed very smart in that it does have a built in scale and also a timer that can be set to turn the mixer off when the timer ends. There is a nice display on the front to show you the speed, time and weight of ingredients. Another feature that is wonderful is the Auto Sense Technology. The torque is monitored to optimize mixing performance via the very quiet and strong digital brushless DC motor. Quality is superb. The design arms used to attach the beautiful 7 qt. stainless steel mixing bowl are easy to use and these arms provide a very solid way to attach the bowl. The method to attach the 3 mixing attachments was also well designed; it provides a simple yet effective and even intuitive process to insert and release the attachments – another tip of the cap to the GE engineers. You also get a clear plastic pouring shield that can be inserted while the device is mixing your ingredients. The shield is very easy to insert and remove. I very highly recommend this super strong, smartly designed and easy to use heavy-duty stand mixer.

A beast of a mixer.
This mixer is a beast, it weighs 48 pounds. When I brought it in off the porch I thought I might have mistakenly received two by mistake. I got this for my wife as she loves to make breads, and it looks like a high quality mixer for sure. The auto sense is great for weighing out the contents of your mix. Everything included with this mixer is well made in my opinion except for the floppy thin plastic splatter cover. I do like how the bowl arms drop down for swapping out mixing attachments as well as for cleaning your mixing bowl. This has multiple speed setting for easily mixing your ingredients of any dough your mixing for bread or rolls, that will easily power through it all without struggling. The Auto-Sense will tell you the exact weight of the ingredients in the mixers bowl. If you have Alexa or Google assistant, you can connect this to your wifi and control things like the mixing speed while your hands are full baking a different dish. I'm not into cooking with smart devices, but for multitasking cooks I can see where this comes in handy. This permanently resides on my counter as it very heavy to transport from a cabinet and to the counter.

Wonderful Stand Mixer
The GE Profile is a very capable mixer even without the Smart features, but factoring those in, it is easily the best mixer I've ever used. It is a 7 Quart Stand Mixer that comes with the mixing bowl, whisk, beater, and dough hook attachments as well as a pouring shield. It features a 540 watt brushless motor which promises lower temperature usage for extended lifespan. The standout features, however, are the "Smart" features, which come in a couple different forms. First of all, it has a built-in scale, which allows for weighing ingredients right in the bowl. Second, is Auto-sensing technology which can detect changes in texture to apply the right mixing speed and automatically stop when appropriate. And last is smart-phone connectivity, which allows you to connect to the GE Profile app, which opens up all kinds of integrations. Just to get this out of the way, as a stand-alone mixer, the GE Profile is amazing. It has more than enough power to tackle all your mixing needs. It is easy to use and is just about what you would expect from a stand mixer. It feels very well-built and I expect it to last a long time. What really makes this Mixer stand apart from the crowd is the smart features. First of all, the built-in scale is something I never knew I always needed. Adding ingredients right into the bowl and having the weight show up on the screen is just so useful. When you're done adding one ingredient, you just zero out the scale and start adding the next. It cut down on my measuring and cleanup time since I didn't need to measure out ingredients into separate little bowls or dishes. The next smart feature I was a little skeptical of, and didn't really see the use. It is the smartphone integration. I thought it would be too much hassle and not really add anything above just using recipes out of a book or something. But I was very surprised with how fun and engaging it made everything. I tested it out with a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe, which I quickly searched on the app. The app will literally walk you through step by step, and it was really easy to ffollow along. When it came time to add the ingredients, it automatically set the scale and would tell you how much you've added. When it was time to mix, it would automatically start mixing at the correct speed for the correct amount of time. It was all really impressive. And while chocolate chip cookies are very basic and you probably don't need a guided walkthrough for something like that, I am very excited to try some more complicated recipes or just new recipes I've never tried before. Consider me very impressed with something I thought wasn't going to be very useful. Overall, I am just very impressed with this mixer. Just as a mixer itself, it is very impressive and well-made and powerful. But add in those smart features and this is easily the best mixer I have ever used, and definitely the most fun. It has reinvigorated my interest in cooking/baking and I am looking forward to using it for years to come.

Innovative Smart Mixer
The GE Profile Smart Mixer with Auto Sense is an innovative, new take on the seemingly timeless kitchen mixer. I know one name comes to mind with kitchen mixers but GE has improved upon what is usually a fairly basic kitchen device. The Profile mixer features a large 7-qt capacity bowl, an integrated wrap around bowl lift, built in scale, 3 included quick release mixing attachments, and an accessory port for third party attachments. The first thing to note with this mixer is the size. At 17” high, 14” deep, 11” wide, and a hefty 44 lbs, it will likely need a semi permanent spot in your home. Though the size may be expected for a mixer of this capacity, unfortunately our upper cabinetry in our current home limits placement and it is something to keep in mind before purchasing. Once you setup the device and connect it to the GE SmartHQ app, you can then utilize some of the smart functionality such as Auto Sense. With the provided guided recipes or Auto Sense techniques you can send mixing instructions to the mixer to not only set the speed and duration but it will use feedback from the motor to determine the proper texture and viscosity, impressive! Currently you are limited to the recipes and techniques in the app to utilize this but GE claims to expand on this overtime. Making your own way is still possible and yielded great results as we did with our pumpkin bars or my wife’s chocolate banana bread, a family favorite. The mixer can even weigh ingredients in the mixing bowl as you go or other vessels by placing them on the base. The mixer also has a built-in timer functionality that is thankfully not tied to the app for ease of use out of the box. Though the quick release mixing attachments were a breeze to use, this interface is currently limited to the included beater, hook, and whisk. GE claims they are commercial grade and dishwasher safe, which they are well made and should last the life of the mixer. Though I like the features and functionality of the Profile Smart mixer, I do wish GE offered a slightly smaller model as we tend to not need the large 7-qt capacity. With kitchen mixers, one brand has become ubiquitous to most homes but the GE Profile Smart Mixer stands out with its new intelligent integrations and also practical innovations making it a great choice.

Pro Level Mixer At Home
The GE Profile smart mixer is a professional level mixer that combines build quality, smart functionality, and great design into to a package that's sure to please even the most strict of design critics. With the exception of two specific issues I have with the unit, it overall performs very well in a crowded market. The two issues I have with this mixer were readily apparent from my first interactions with it. For one, it's obscenely heavy, on the order of 50 pounds. Anyone looking to use this in the capacity of "I'll take out the mixer when I need it and put it away when I don't" will be severely disappointed in just how heavy it is, to the extent that my wife had issues moving it at all. If you don't have the counter space for this unit, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. My other issue with this unit was how difficult it was to pair with my phone. This, frankly, was unexpected, given the "Smart Stand" moniker attached to this blender. For whatever reason, I had a tough time getting it to connect through bluetooth. I eventually got it to connect, but it was far from straightforward, at least in my experience. With that out of the way, I'll focus on the positives (and boy there are a lot). Weight aside, the build quality of the main unit and accessories are all great, and relatively easy to clean. To go along with that, the power this mixer has is frankly surprising sometimes. Not once did I have a hint of slowdown, likely owing to the power DC motor. Finally, the smarts on tap here really add to the experience of using the GE Profile mixer. So far, my favorite feature is the built in scale which allows to you to hyper accurately get the mix you're looking for. This works especially well in conjunction with the recipes available in the app, which walk you through the entire process in an easy to understand way. If you're looking for inspiration to use your new mixer, the app has it. Overall, this is a great mixer. The power and build quality give this a feel unlike other mixers I've tried, and the Smarts do truly add something here that's useful. If you want one of the best mixers on the market, consider the GE Profile Smart Mixer.

Best Mixer I've Ever Used
We have had our new GE Profile 7qt mixer for a couple of weeks now and we absolutely love it. My girlfriend is definitely the cook of the household. She also has a lot of experience with cooking and baking thru several jobs over the years in food service industry. She says this is her favorite mixer she has ever used and is a huge upgrade to the mixer we previously had. Initial impressions after unboxing were all great. First off it’s quite heavy, feels like it weighs 50lbs. The mixer is very clean looking and the carbon black finish is gorgeous. Handling the device gives me a sense of a very precise and well build piece of equipment. I absolutely love how the surface feels. The mixing bowl itself is well designed and solid. Or old mixer was 6qts, this one is just 1 qt more but the bowl is well over twice as heavy as our old one. The way this bowl will lock into place is really solid. While my girlfriend is the one with all the baking experience, I have worked with a lot of heavy machinery and I’m am just so impressed with the precise nature of its construction. We were impressed before we even turned it on for its first use. As it was a couple of days before my 50th birthday, its first use was to make a cake. A fairly basic test for such an advanced mixer and of course it worked great. What impressed me though was how powerful the machine felt. As days went on and we used it to mix other dough and batters I couldn’t get over how…I’m not even sure of the best words to use here. Just doing basic mixing it felt more powerful, precise and clean in its movements than any mixer I’ve seen in use. Our old mixer on high speed felt like you were reaching the limits of its power. Like the difference of driving a modern EV versus an economy vehicle. Both reach the speed limit on the freeway, but one gets there quicker and smoother and never feels like you are approaching its limit. It has a very powerful and quiet motor. So it looks amazing, feels very well built and as a mixer it’s awesome. Beyond that, there are many bells and whistles. First off it comes with whisk, beater and dough hook that you see on many mixers. The attachments are solid and well build. There is a plastic cover (the only part of this mixer that doesn’t feel extremely durable) for the bowl they call a bowl shield. Excellent addition I have not seen before. My favorite feature is probably the built in scale. It’s not super precise, but certainly good enough for the ingredients (sugar, flour, etc) that use larger portions. This allows you to weigh your ingredients right in the bowl. It even connects wirelessly to a smart phone via its app. There is a really cool “guided recipes” feature to guide you thru the mixing process and it knows how much you’ve added thru the scale/app synergy. It does a great job of walking you thru step by step of the process. The auto sense tech is interesting as well. I don’t have enough experience to appreciate its value but my girlfriend said it’s awesome. It actively monitors changes in the mixers contents viscosity thru torque feedback and adjusts its speed accordingly to achieve ideal results. So all in all we love this mixer. For some the weight might be a bit of a hindrance, but if you find it a permanent spot on your kitchen counter that shouldn’t matter. Overall quality is excellent and I expect a long life from this mixer. I would absolutely recommend this mixer to a friend. Well done GE.

Mixers are Not Just for Mixing Anymore
I have owned a KitchenAid stand mixer for close to 30 years. That was the gold standard mixer at the time. Some would argue it still is. Yet, time and technology marches on. The GE Profile Mixer could be the new gold standard. It certainly is the most advanced stand mixer that I’ve ever seen. One minor gripe out of the way – could this have been released in more colors? One of the things that people love about KitchenAid mixers are the amount of amazing colors they come in. Carbon (black), white, and silver just aren’t my jam. My old mixer is biscuit (cream) colored because that is what I liked then. For this review, I received the Carbon version. When you buy your mixer, no matter if you have it delivered or brought home from the store, I would recommend you having help getting it into the house. The mixer is HEAVY. Plus, the box is extra fortified and is heavy by itself. I want to commend GE for packing it so well. I didn’t have help, so I had to gently turn it end-over-end because it was too much for me to lift, and I couldn’t push it across the floor to where I could unload it. You can unbox the appliance by yourself, but slowly. It’s a lot to carry. I recommend putting it where it’s going to live and leave it there. To set up the Smart features, you will need to download the SmartIQ app from your preferred app store. If you already have Smart GE Profile appliances, you probably already have it. Do you need it to operate the machine? No, but you aren’t getting everything you paid for, either, if you don’t use it. Setting up on the app was easy. You hit the “add appliance” icon in the upper right corner and follow the instructions. The number of features it has are mind blowing. It has a built-in scale, so no need to go out and get a scale to measure ingredients. It actually senses when the mixture is the correct texture and viscosity, so no more overmixing. The app has recipes that will walk you through how to make them step-by-step. The top of the mixer has a LED light that will “count down” the mixing time so that you can see when it gets close to being done, even from across the room. This is stuff that I would have NEVER thought of putting in/on a mixer. It even works with Alexa (or Google Home, if you have that ecosystem). I already had the SmartIQ skill, and the mixer automatically synced with it.

Nice heavy mixer
I would like to give this a good review but the Bluetooth was not working. This was a gift for my daughter and she really like all the Features this mixer had to offer but when she try to hook up the Bluetooth it would not hook up. She called GE and they try to help her but told her just to return it to Best Buy , which she did and they order hef a new one. Hopefully with this new one everything will work andvwe can give a good review. By the way it is heavy so don't expect to be moving it to different areas much.
