John did you mean both mixers or the mixer and the cookie choice? Lol both mixers were a gift from the almost sun he has a knack for reading my mind I just dug the old one out to give it some exercise.very fluffy, well blended
 
Ahh, I think you are correct with the color name, Target, the small one. 4.5 qt. Pretty to see on the counter, but big jobs need the bigger black 6 pro. It's just not my favorite to use all the time a bit overkill, and I don't think it mixes small batches very well but that's just my opinion. Loud too.
 
I agree

I have the black pro KitchenAid and it's always been noisy. Hoped it would quiet down when the carbons broke in, but 20 yrs. later...same.It's my go to for the bigger jobs, I still think the Sunbeams,Dormeyers,Hamilton Beeches do better for creaming butter and sugar. Hoovers too, sorry John!

Two tips from a repair shop: KitchenAid or similar:Don't increase speed all at once if under heavy load, like heavy cookie batter, bread dough etc,like going from speed 2 to 8 or ten. Step it up one speed at a time. Going from "0-60" can mess with the circuitry and wear the gears early .

Sunbeams and mixers under 200 watts: Don't use the lower speeds for too long if the beater is laboring or getting hot, you can burn the motor up.

My sister's mixer got so hot that the gear grease started running down the mixers and into her bowl of steaming hot potatoes,YumYum!
