KitchenAidKSMC5QBOWL 5-Quart Mixing Bowl with J Hook Handle, Stainless Steel, NSF

Good accessory bowl for my commercial KitchenAid 8qt mixer. These actually fit a large number of different models, by the way. The lack of a rolled lip makes the bowl seem a little cheap, but it is required for NSF approval as the rolled edges are hard to clean. Similarly, the single attachment of the J handle feels flimsy compared to a loop handle, but it's necessary to allow these to nest inside each other. The bottom line is that it works well.

Fits the professional KA mixer. Some days I don’t need the 8 qt bowl, and this one fits the bill. Definitely quality KA construction. Not ‘fake’ as other posters have claimed.

Fits perfectly in my new mixer and makes a fantastic alternative to the 8 quart bowl when I need to make smaller batches of dough, etc. Fit securely I have no concerns about it even at higher speeds!

Needed a smaller bowl since the KitchenAid Commercial comes with 8qt bowl. Good size for "everyday" baking recipes.

I have the 7 quart Kitchenaid mixer, but don't always need the size of the 7 quart bowl. This 5 quart bowl fits and works perfectly on this machine. It allows easier working with ingredients as the top of the bowl is lower on the mixer than the 7 qt bowl. Very sturdy and easy to clean having the lip on the top of the bowl instead of the rolled edge which can trap liquids and stuff. The handle design allows stacking of bowls as well.

This fits my 7qt lift up stand mixer perfectly love this handle for stackability and storing my other bowls together. Made from good materials I love just popping the bowl in the dishwasher for cleaning

The rim around the bowl was razor sharp. I called the seller Chefs Deal twice . The first time I got someone in the call center who did not understand what I was asking. I asked to be directed to customer service and he replied they were busy but would call me back. No response. The second call was the same. I then called KitchenAid just to make sure this was not indicative of their bowl. Their customer service replied that it truly was a defective item. So I sent the bowl back to Amazon and did receive my refund. It appears Chefs Deal sells KitchenAid seconds. I then ordered directly from KitchenAid.

For anyone who has KitchenAid Professional Plus 5 KV25, this will fit. You can buy it with relief.I was contemplating which one to buy. Even if they claim it will fit, somtimes description doesnt match with the actual product. This one actually matched! It fits perfectly. I can bake two batches at once.
