KitchenAid 5 Quart Ceramic Bowl, Blue Mermaid Lace, KSM2CB5

I've had mine for about 2 years. I've noticed that they all look a bit different. Mine is lighter and has more color variation than others. I love it! I also love that it can go in the microwave and the oven. I only have a few small complaints… 1. While it wouldn't look as clean and pretty, a handle would be helpful. It's not light, so I have to make sure I have a really good grip when moving it. 2. It doesn't screw into the mixer base as easily as the metal bowl. 3. The pouring shield doesn't fit as well as it does on the metal bowl. I've had a few instances where the shield has partly slipped into the bowl. Still, it is so pretty and makes the mixer an even more appealing piece to leave on display.

I have a love hate with this bowl. I have purchased two! My fist one lasted a month and broke while I was kneading. It was so beautiful! I left it in my kitchen while I went out to run errands. While I was out I contacted kitchen aid. And they said it has a warranty. I was so happy but when I came home my husband had already tossed it :( and it is garbage day! That man! Love him. I purchased a replacement and it is not the same. Looks almost black. I'm considering returning it :(
