I wasn't sure about the elastic band on where it goes or how to use it. There were no instructions. The gray color is nice and ours is just big enough to cover the height and width. There is some extra room but with the pockets it is bulky still. It does the job keeping most of the dust out.It is as described, the size is perfect for my 6qt lift mixer. It has three pockets, one with a zipper. I was expecting the cover to be a bit more rigid, that it would hold its shape when used. But over all, it is exactly what I needed. It covers my machine and looks nice on the counter.The product is a little big but I wanted to make sure everything is covered to keep the dust off. It looks nice in my kitchen. I would recommend for the bigger mixers.Very pleased with this product. This is a great dust cover that also stores the attachments. I definitely would give as a gift. ?It's a little bulky looking but it works. It's easy to use and easy to use and clean I pockets are usefulJust as described. Fit my mixer well. I have a lot of dust around the house and that means cleaning my stand mixer before use. Now, with the cover I'm ready to grind 5 lbs of steak into steak burger on the fly.No, grinding steak burger means trimming, cutting into cubes so it will fit easier into the feed chute. Weighing out a precise amount for 1/3 lb patties and pressing them into patties for freezing.Well, ok, not terribly exciting. But, it is nice to wash once and not twice for a simple mixing job. Looks terrific on the counter and has pockets for extras.This cover is large enough to cover my 6qt. bowl lift mixer with the bowl in place. It also holds many attachments as well as the manuels for the mixer, all while holding its shape. It is stylish and looks nice on the counter. Great value...I'm very glad I purchased this!Stand mixer cover. Fits perfectly, holds all mixer attachments.
