GE Profile - 7 Quart Bowl- Smart Stand Mixer with Auto Sense - Stone White

I recently acquired the GE Profile 7 Quart Bowl - Smart Stand Mixer with Auto Sense, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. This appliance has exceeded my expectations in several key areas, making it a remarkable addition to my culinary toolkit. First and foremost, the build quality is impressive. The mixer feels sturdy and well-constructed, which instills confidence in its longevity. It can handle even the most demanding mixing tasks without wobbling or feeling flimsy. Performance-wise, the GE mixer is a powerhouse. Its motor is robust and provides consistent, reliable power. From whipping cream to kneading bread dough, this mixer tackles a wide range of tasks with ease. I particularly appreciate the various speed settings, which allow for precise control over the mixing process, ensuring that ingredients are perfectly incorporated. What sets this mixer apart is its versatility. It comes with a selection of attachments that make it suitable for various kitchen applications. The included mixing bowl is a decent size, and the splash guard prevents messy accidents. The attachment swapping is straightforward, and the appliance itself is easy to clean. Also GE knows who the biggest competitor is in this space, therefore kitchenaid attachments are compatible with this mixer. The noise level is relatively low for a mixer of this caliber, which is a pleasant surprise. You won't have to endure an earsplitting racket while using it, making for a more pleasant cooking experience. One minor drawback is that it's slightly bulkier than some other mixers on the market, so it may require a bit more storage space. However, the overall performance more than compensates for this small inconvenience. On MAJOR drawback is that the stainless steel bowl rusted along the rim of the bowl even though the user manual stated the bowl is dishwasher safe. GE immediately sent out a replacement bowl which also rusted along the rim of the bowl after being placed in the dishwasher. Most importantly, and as a result of my testing, GE reached out and said they got in Touch with their stainless steel bowl supplier and will be changing the polishing process to make sure the bowls do not rust. I was sent a third bowl which has a higher polish finish along the rim and it has not rusted after three bouts in the dishwasher. GE is standing behind their product which is good to see! If you are having the rusting issue, reach out and they will get it squared away. In summary, the GE mixer has proven to be a reliable and versatile kitchen companion. Its impressive build, powerful motor, and range of attachments make it a fantastic addition to any home kitchen. If you're looking for a mixer that can handle a variety of tasks with ease and precision, this is a solid choice.

The future is very bright automated kitchen appliances. Below are my thoughts on the GE Profile Smart Stand Mixer. [PROS] Auto Sensing/Smart Scale: For provided recipes, the auto sensing is pretty remarkable. I love making dough for bread so this has been very useful for me. I'm not great at "eyeing" things and can sometimes second guess myself when comes to the feel of something when stirring. With the Smart Stand Mixer, I'm able to achieve the proper consistency and make sure everything is the correct weight. Guided Recipes: Having step-by-step instruction is important, but the GE Smart Mixer makes it a fun process by being with you at every moment. I learn best with a hands-on approach, and the app guided me effortlessly in making bread and catching me before I made a mistake. I attempted the Potato Herb Bread Wreath, and I was quite pleased with the results. Mostly Automated: I'm able to issue commands via Alexa which reduce some manual actions. Unfortunately, you still have to manually start the mixer which is not a big deal given that others settings are already set up. [CONS] Heavy: This mixer is really heavy as in over 40 lbs. It would not be suitable for placement in a cabinet more so because of the weight rather the dimensions. Attachments: You only have 3 attachments included and the GE website does not provide more. Limited attachments mean limited functionality. [CONCLUSION] I've found myself most impressed by the auto-sensing features and the smart scale. Recipe booklets (or in this case digital recipes) can be either be a hit or miss, but I found a few satisfying after a few minor tweaks. Will this replace your Main Mixer? Possibly, depending on your intended purposes. I'm not an expert baker, but this machine has been simple enough to grasp so I would definitely recommend it.

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.

Overall, this is a good mixer that gets the job done and more. This is a nice modern machine that is quite large in terms of footprint and bowl -- the bowl is 7 oz. Make big batches, y'all!! Also, this mixer is EXTREMELY heavy. It was work getting the box up all my stairs and then getting it out and then placing it where and how I wanted it. Find your counter spot because you are not going to move it. It's just not happening. That is a downside. Everything else is cool. It comes with three attachments -- a whisk, stirer, the one for dough. You can use the popular brand's attachments with this so that's a big plus. It sits stable... it's literally not moving anywhere. The bowl is placed on two nodules on the arms that hug it. You easily lower and raise the arms as needed. You can actually also adjust the height of the bowl; there is a little thing close to the top, but there is no need. I don't know how much higher you would need it, being that you don't want the attachments actually touching the bowl. When using the attachments, put your ingredients in the bowl, put the bowl on the arms, and then attach the attachments by just sticking it in what looks like a short pipe. Give it a twist and nudge to make sure it's in there. Then raise the arms. There is also a bowl cover made to protect your area from ingredients flying out (like a tv show), although, I have not needed it. There is also a spout on the cover I guess if you need to pour ingredients into the bowl. That's cool. Moving on up to the top... When the ring is in the middle (above the LCD), it is off. Move the ring to the right for connecting to phone, for stir, for power levels that go up to 11. There is an LCD right there to show you what you need to see. On the top top you have a scale and timer; you also have a reverse, to make the attachment turn in the reverse direction when mixing; you have the right and left arrow to set it. There is a center circle that starts, pauses and stops the mixing. Also, definitely connect this to your phone via wifi using the app; in order to do updates, see and use recipes, and take advantage of auto sense (as well as other things with other products). Auto sense allows you to just set it and then it knows what consistency is needed and mixes accordingly, and stops accordingly. Cool, right? Yup. Technology is fun. Oh, wow! I almost forgot to mention the scale (to use the scale, it is up top with timer, reverse and friends). You can weigh directly in the bowl. This is a great addition to this mixer. For me, especially because I would see some recipes in the past that only gives measurements in ounces and I would have to skip it and move on. It is a great product that obviously works. For some strange reason, when I put the mixer on 4, it would make this consistent high pitch whistle type sound until I either stopped or put it on 3 or lower. I don't know what that is about. But it is a good product, but if you do not have space for it, it might not be for you because you will not be moving this thing around. You will place it and will have to stay put, due to the excessive weight of it. I like the mixer and, while I recommend it, you would really need to consider the size, weight and your available space (and by the way, these are the reasons that I knocked off a star). Peace.

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.

The GE Profile mixer is a formidable kitchen appliance. First the stylish look is very modern and looks good on the counter while not in use. Second when you touch it it just plain feels solid and durable. This is a beast coming in at 50lbs, but its rating for being commercial grade stands up to its claims. It comes with 11 speeds in the mixer as well as a 7Q mixing bowl. It does have some high tech integrated into it to allow you to update and control through the app. It took some time for it to connect and get setup roughly 10-15 minutes. Whats included besides the beautiful stylish base and stainless steel mixing bowl? 3 mixing attachments! They were very simple and intuitive to take off and on. So for a simple cook like myself it was easy. Additionally cleaning it was super simple as it came right off! Some highlights of this is that it has a built in scale and has easy presets to press and go through to making its use so much simpler. Days of hunting and trying to figure out what to press and how long- gone. My conclusion is that it mixed the pancake mix amazingly, super simple and was awesome. I’m excited to make some homemade dough this weekend!

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.

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.
