 Do Not Buy From DeLonghi November 3, 2008
Jane Doe (Miami Beach, FL United States)
I purchased this machine for my daughter in law and thought it would be wonderful for her to have it. It stopped working in short order and they replaced it. That one broke too. My son had to travel from Denver to Colorado Springs to fix it. It worked two weeks and broke again. They will not give a credit and tell us to fix it again. How many times should it be fixed? It cost a lot of money and they have gotten practically no use from this mixer. It is a poor item and should be recalled. Do not buy from this manufacturer. They only want to fix it and have it break within a week or two. Poor machine. Do not purchase it or you will be sorry. It was embarrassing for me since it was a gift.
Terrible product, terrible customer support November 3, 2008

My mother bought this mixer on Amazon for my wife and within 6 months it stopped working (a gear that protects the motor broke). I called up Amazon who told me it had been too long and that we needed to deal with DeLonghi. I then took the mixer into a service center about 75 miles away (!). The service center didn't finish fixing it (due to approval, part receiving, etc) until 2 months (!) later. I then picked it up and brought it home only to have the machine break down again after 2 uses!! My wife didn't even use it for anything heavy-duty and didn't even use the full 7 quarts.
I then called DeLonghi today asking them to take it back. They wouldn't and told me that I could potentially be going back to the service center over and over according to their "warranty" (regardless of the same thing breaking over and over). Also, go to the DeLonghi website and try to find this mixer. You *won't* be able to. Hmmm... I wonder why.
Do not buy this mixer (DSM-7) and do not use DeLonghi products in general. They do NOT stand by their products. (Unless you like travelling to far off service centers or blowing over 400 dollars)
Oh and btw, our Kitchen Aid that we were replacing is still doing fine after 8 years! (We also bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond who stand by what they sell)
 Cautionary Tale & it walks! August 16, 2008

Yes, I have owned the Kenwood Rival KM230 for 10 years, which turns out to be the same as the Delonghi 7 qt. Granted that is a good amount of time, but this winter while making a batch of Marshmallows, the balloon whisk sheared apart. Somewhat heartbreaking, as I had to start all over again with the mallows.
I have been trying to replace this part for months. The only place to get this part is in the UK, and with the current exchange rate it will cost $100., including the $$$$ shipping. At that price I started to think about a whole new machine, if the warrenty is 10 years, then what will go wrong next, & when? the day after the whisk arrives?
I have spent too many years in professional kitchens not to buy the best, sturdiest, machine money can buy & I really am not sure after reading all the reviews that this is the one.
I was looking for a replacement when I happened upon the Delonghi & considered purchasing it, & in further research discovered it not only looks like my machine, but takes the same replacement parts.
I am now thinking about the $525. Viking or maybe the Cuisinart.
I would not buy this Delonghi.
O one last thing, it walks across the counter! One day it is going to walk right off onto the floor, that may well be its last day.
 Delonghi Mixer is Great June 3, 2008

I have enjoyed the Delonghi 7 qt mixer for several months and have been very pleased with it's performance and utility. To date I have made a lot of bread, cookies and cakes. I shopped stand mixers in detail and have had no reason to regret my decision to buy the DSM7.
I am very particular about how my kitchen looks and the DSM7 looks modern and complements the other stainless steel equipment that already graced my favorite room. I have not had any of the problems mentioned in other reviews with the coating flaking off of the beater or dough hook, but if I did at this point, I would just buy a new beater or hook. I love this mixer!!! and can not figure why Delonghi does not market it thru the chain kitchen supply stores. The KitchenAid mixer looks like a 1940's toy by comparsion.
 Does the job but features are poorly designed May 9, 2008

I run a small baking business from my home and had outgrown my beloved Kitchenaid, so I decided to give this one a whirl. (I took advantage of a good deal from Costco.com which included lots of extras for the $400 price tag--along with satisfaction guaranteed return policy.)
It didn't take long for me to conclude that this was a silly machine. Yes, it appears strong enough to do lots of things, like mixing multiple batches of pound cake or buttercream, but the design is unbearably shoddy.
1. The power cord is absurdly short--as in, 4 inches. This is supposedly a "safety" feature, but has actually made my kitchen less safe, as I have to use an extension cord to plug it in.
2. The controls for this machine are on the right hand side. For right-handed people like myself, that means you have to put your spatula down, turn the machine off, then pick your spatula back up every time you want to scrape out the bowl. That is annoying when you are working all day with a machine. It made me appreciate the KA with its left-handed controls.
3. The tilting head of the machine is locked and you must turn a lever before you can lift the head. This is another extra step that is aggravating over the course of many hours working with the machine.
4. The metal bowl and mixer oxidize butter and sugar if they are mixed at length. In other words, the butter and sugar turn an unappealing gray color.
I have to wonder whether this machine was ever used in a real test kitchen. Perhaps this features would not bother the occasional user. Personally, I am going to return it and try the 7-qt Cuisinart.
