Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I am writing this based off the fact that I read the other reviews and at this time I feel are unverified buyers.. first off I called kitchenaid directly and they have heard of this product and verified that this is indeed a kitchenaid mixer that they make and aside from minor trim variations they assured me this is essentially the same exact model of the KP26M1ER with the same warranty and accessory compatibility. This model has the same motor and is made from the same materials but is an Amazon exclusive model number. For the record this is not the only retail exclusive model they make, in fact the representative had a pretty extensive list of the exact same model with retailer specific model numbers. I am NOT a verified buyer, just someone that did a little research. If I do decide to buy this I will post back with my user opinion, but for now... at least you know this is an actual kitchenaid product with similar specs and same warranty.
