[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I can tell on the website, the 5qt options are all tilt-head, while the 6qt are bowl-lift.  HUGE difference in terms of stability.  We have a 6qt bowl-lift at home, my mom has a 5qt tilt-head.  I won't knead bread dough in her mixer when we are visiting there, the mixer sounds like it is going to rattle right off the counter. Cookie dough and everything just sound and feel more stable in ours.

If she bothered to specify a size, that probably means she did her research and knows what she wants. Don't buy her a lesser version... Especially if your only attempt was a trip to Target on 12/23.  Try a specialty cooking store. It won't be here by Saturday, but you can tell her it's coming.[/quote]

I have the bowl lift and would be less happy with the tilt head. Since she specified, I recommend either ordering the right one and let her know it’s on its way, or pick one out together on Xmas. Fwiw, the 6 qt one is on sale right now at Crate & Barrel and can be picked up in Clarendon on 12/31. It’s also on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond and available to ship now. Just get her the one she asked for; for this item, I think it’s more important than having the physical item under the tree. [/quote]
