Pros: mixes everything
Cons: heavy

This is the one appliance in my kitchen I could not live without. I use it for everything, and it has never failed me. I've had mine 17 years and it still works as good as the day I took it out of the box. I vaguely remember (it was a long time ago) ...

Cons: too heavy to store in the basement if you use it often

When my sister and cousin chipped in to buy us a KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer for Christmas a few years ago, I politely thanked them and secretly wondered what the heck I was going to do with the thing. I was a novice cook and certainly not ...

Pros: Heavy weight. Great attachments.
Cons: None.

I've had mine for over 20 years and I couldn't be without it. Its fabulous for kneeding up a batch of home made bread. I gave away my bread machine because I by far prefer to make it in my kitchenaid mixer and just shape it into loaves myself. I didn't ...

Cons: Heavy, pricey, blah blah blah. Who cares? It lasts forever! It's made here!!

Pros: Sturdy, powerful and heavy-weight mixer is more than capable of doing the job!
Cons: Heavy duty can also mean heavy weight. Take care when lifting the mixer.

Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer 250 Watts Several years ago, I had the burning desire to take a cake decorating class. About halfway through the course the motor on my hand mixer burned out. The package said it was especially for icing. The package lied. ...

Pros: Durable--20 years and still going strong, easy to clean.
Cons: No complaints after all these years.

Mine was made in St. Joseph, Michigan. I don't know where they make them now. I am amazed that they still have the same model Kitchenaid, the K45SS, after I have had this for more than 20 years. We purchased this approximately 4 years after we were ...

Pros: 30 Years of use. Powerful. Can handle anything. Easy to use. Easy to clean.
Cons: There isn't anything I don't like about this mixer.

Cons: Don't wash the wire whisk...ever!

My Kitchenaid mixer is handsdown my favorite small appliance in my kitchen. I even made it a cozy cover, so it will stay nice and clean all the time. I've had mine for 9 years (using it at least 3 or 4 times a week) and she's working just as well as the ...

Pros: Easy to use and to clean. Several speed options.
Cons: None that I can see.

Pros: Quality product, easy to clean, versatile!
Cons: Bowl is on the small side if you make large batches of cookies, etc.

I use my Kitchen Aid mixer more than any other appliance in my kitchen. While I don't have any of the extra attachments (I've been eyeing and am sure if I had the ice cream maker I'd use it!) I bake a lot and this mixer does such a great job and is so ...

Pros: durable,reliable,sturdy
Cons: heavy,kind of expensive

The mixer works pretty well. They are rather large and heavy so it can be difficult to move. Kind of takes up a lot of space and pretty expensive. To me it does just about what any other mixer can do. It can handle a lot of dough without too much ...
