I purchased the Kitchen Aid Mini on Dec 31, 2019, paying $189.00, and it arrived on Jan 4, 2020. I was on the fence about buying a KitchenAid blender for a while, but finally decided to pull the trigger. Since I live in a small apartment with very limited kitchen space, I opted to go with the mini. In my opinion that was a good decision.
When the package arrived from Amazon, I opened the box to find another smaller box inside. I opened that box to found it contained the commercial box for the blender. Everything was well packaged with not a trace of damage or prior use. I was surprised that there was no recipe book included, just a quick start guide. I had watched so many Youtube videos of this blender I had no use for the guide.
My first project was to test it's bread dough making ability. It handled that task without breaking a sweat. The dough hook attachment worked just fine. I have to admit the speed setting lever does not move as smoothly as I would like it to. It takes quiet a bit of pushing to get the lever to move.
I then decided to make some chocolate chip cookies. Again, it performed flawlessly, even though the cookie dough was even thicker then the bread dough.
Next I decided to see how well it would handle a meatloaf. I just broke up 2 pounds of ground beef along with all the other ingredients and attached the paddle attachment, which I had also used for the cookie dough. Again it performed without missing a beat.
My last little road test was making mashed potatoes. I peeled and cut up some Yukon Gold potatoes into small pieces and boiled them till they were tender. Then using the paddle attachment I put them in the bowl and mixed them up for a minute or so the break them up. Then I switched to the whisk attachment after adding a little heavy cream and a couple tablespoons of melted butter. I whisked them at a setting of about 4 until they were nice and smooth. Came out delicious. I've made mashed potatoes like this a few times since.
The KitchenAid blender fits fine on my small counter space when I need it and in a cabinet when not in use. I'm sure if I would have brought the full sized KitchenAid it would have proven to be a mistake. It only weighs about 15 pounds, so it's pretty easy to lift and move around. When I cook, it's only for my wife and I, so the 3.5 quart bowl is plenty big enough for our needs. So far I'm completly satisfied with my purchase.

Honeydew mini
I have been waiting to buy this mixer since I heard they were coming out with a mini one. I've never owned a mixer and the fact it does so much with all the attachments is very appealing. I wanted the mini because I live in an apartment and I love to cook. It's also just so adorable. The only thing that held me back was the price. I was literally saving up Amazon gift cards so I could afford this mixer. I wish that it was more affordable for the demographic they are aiming at.I got the Honeydew color- online the color looks more dark bright limey, but in person it's a lovely lighter/softer honeydew green that is still super vibrant. It's a good weight to move around the kitchen easily if needed. I love the brushed stainless bowl too. Bowl and beaters fit in really easy. The locking mechanism takes a while to get used to, feels hard to unlock sometimes. Was a little surprised that above the lock, the silver banding seemed to push in a little to the touch and wasn't super well put on there. The first thing I made was cookies. First impression was that wow, makes it a breeze to mix and stir. Second impression was that wow, how can they not include the flex edge beater with it, especially given the high price of this thing! I had to scrape the edges with a rubber spatula during the mixing of the butter and sugar because it was all lining the edges of the bowl... then with the gradual adding of the flour as well (see picture). I imagine that the flex edge beater would solve this one issue. It's still not available for purchase separately, or the splash guard plastic bowl accessory, that I know of which I think is another flaw in the release of the mixer. One time adding in flour I missed the bowl and spilled a bit because the diameter of the bowl is pretty small when you have the beater up in there too with the arm up. But, it fit everything easily for my cookie batch and I don't imagine it ever being too small volume-wise for the cooking/baking I do.Overall, I'm so happy I have this in my kitchen. Excited for all the stuff I can make with it and to slowly accumulate the attachments. Hopefully there will be an icecream bowl attachment made to fit with this, too.

Update: Aug 24, 2018 - After using the mixer for a while, I realized that the attachments are much harder to connect and disconnect than my full-sized mixer. You should be able to push up and twist to connect and release but they've always given me a struggle. Today, I had the same issue and when trying to get the attachment off, it finally released while I was pulling and came down and hit the bottom of the mixer so hard that it broke a chip off of the attachment. I still love this little mixer but beware of the attachments. It requires some force to get them on and off (difficult with greasy baking hands!!), and an eventual sudden release of the attachment might cause some damage. :(
